We like BBS'ing at Skullspace 🚀👾

This page will grow to coordinate our BBS efforts and knowledge at Skullspace (and for anyone in Manitoba/Winnipeg too of course, feel free to follow along!).

Let's set up our own BBS and we can spend the time recording what we're doing for publishing on YouTube.

In the meantime, here are some popular servers and resources that people should know:

* Here is a BBS that is inactive, so it's sort of like a museum. Thor and Mark have logged on and left a few messages. Here is the [https://l33t.codes/xibalba-bbs/ web browser version anyone can use at l33t.codes (yes that is the url, so cool 😅)]
* A cool [https://sksp.slack.com/archives/C0FQ3RPFD/p1649006335664519 picture (Slack thread) from the BBS above.

== Skull BBS ==

After a cursory google, here is an article on how to set up [https://lunduke.substack.com/p/how-to-set-up-your-own-bbs-server?s=r Synchronet (substack)].

We can run this off the {{VM Server}}. I think bbs.skull.space would be lovely as a URL ❤️.
