Content

The BBS is up! We ran into a few problems along the way, but ultimately prevailed in getting our multi-node BBS operational on OS/2 Warp 3.

We still need to add content to the BBS like door games and files, and customize it with ANSI art... but the hard part is done. Let us know if you want to see more BBS content as we've got several ideas for future projects.

Stay tuned here or on Discord for access info!
