Bulletin Board System Gamers
Inspiration
The idea of this topic, comes originally from the Ner BBS thread, though this discussion, is focusing on other BBS worlds which also may be as popular, and thus may also be as enjoyable.
This thread ain't to replace the Ner BBS one, but to "expand" from it.
But first, a bit of history!
From Wikipedia
A classic BBS had:
A computer
One or more modems
One or more phone lines, with more allowing for increased concurrent users
A BBS software package
A sysop - system operator
A user community
The BBS software usually provides:Menu Systems
One or more message bases
File areas
SysOp side, live viewing of all caller activity
Voting - opinion booths
Statistics on message posters, top uploaders / downloaders
Online games (usually single player or only a single ac tive player at a given time)
A doorway to third-party online games
Usage auditing capabilities
Multi-user chat (only possible on multi-line BBSes)
Internet email (more common in later Internet-connected BBSes)
Networked message boards
Most modern BBSes allow telnet access over the Internet using a telnet server and a virtual FOSSIL driver.
A "yell for SysOp" page caller side menu item that sounded an audible alarm to the SysOp. If chosen, the SysOp could then initiate a text-to-text chat with the caller.
Primitive social networking features, such as leaving messages on a user's profile
