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:

Skull BBS

After a cursory google, here is an article on how to set up Synchronet (substack).

Intro:

Hi, welcome to skullspace.

Before the internet, computers would use your home phone to post social media messages to these bulletin board systems, also called BBS's!

This of this as the very first form of online forums. All across Canada, we had people phonining each other until they signed up for dial-up Internet.

  • Winnipeg was the BBS capital of Canada
  • Several BBS's running out of here and we even had a school running BBS

Today we're going walk you through using a BBS so you can experience the fun with us and later if you want you can connect yourself on your own computer.

Without further ado, let's get into it.
