This private, independent and guaranteed 100% free forum is dedicated to bulletin board systems and everything related to them. Its goal is to provide an independent platform for former, current, and, of course, future sysops!
Advice: The content of this forum is best viewed in the "dark mode".
This forum is not intended to compete with or replace existing BBSs! Its purpose is to collect scattered information from the web and bring it together in this central location, as well as to provide the forum community with news about this hobby.
Ideally, it can offer help, deal with operational problems or advance planning for a new BBS, and perhaps encourage cross-platform sysops meetings in one of the various chat rooms here.
But as with everything in a global community, this forum can only grow and survive if many visitors/sysop's recognize the idea and the meaning behind it and want to share their existing knowledge/experiences here too!
I HAVE A DREAM !! Knowledge and experience are always very broad! A single person can never accomplish something like that! This is only possible through the formation of a strong community of interest that, like me, firmly believes in preserving this beautiful and creative hobby!
As with all other BBS's, web pages, forums and portals, a registration is required to be an active member here. Special note to proxy Users: These are generally rejected! Thank you very much for your understanding of this way! Unfortunately, it is necessary to reduce the daily increasing number of spammers/fake accounts!
The BBS scene has been around for over 45 years now, and I hope it continues for a long time to come!At Sysop's Finest it doesn't matter at all which bulletin board software and operating system is or was used! From ABBS to ZBBS, from AmigaOS to Windows. Amiga, Apple, Atari, C64 or C128, PC or Raspberry Pi, small BBS's or large ones. The focus here is on the joy of this creative hobby, free of Off-topic advertising's and tracking.
To make this forum easier to use, 13 different languages have been installed (mostly european).
The communication in the international area is carried out in english, or in the german area in ==> german :-).
Zone coordinators, scene groups, programmers and private hardware producers on this topic are also welcome and ideally round off the information on offer here!
