Building SkyLordsLab BBS on an old antiX netbook. Looking for feedback
I've been working on my own BBS project called SkyLordsLab BBS. I'm trying to bring back the classic BBS experience with ANSI colors and a terminal interface. It includes message boards, a guestbook, a file archive, door games and support for both English and Turkish. I'm building and testing everything on an old netbook running antiX Linux. Most of the features are working now but there are still a few things I need to fix. One of my biggest challenges right now is figuring out how to make it publicly accessible so other people can connect and use it. I'm still learning how the original BBS systems worked and trying to understand things as I go.
For those of you who still run a BBS today what would you recommend? Is there anything I should pay attention to when it comes to remote connections, terminal compatibility or security?
I'd also like to hear what features you think a good BBS should have. Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated
