That is nice and all. But as you can see, the majority of BBSs are Synchronet, that is not a bad thing but it has a limited support for old DOOR systems. So while it keep the BBS scene alive in someway, it kills a bit of history with other systems.

I love Sync client, it is amazing! But it is sad that old systems are slowly disappearing. A few years back I was able to find telnet BBS on some old system with very specific games. Last year I've tried to get back and all were dead. I simply cannot find it anymore.

At least I have all the software locally but it keeps harder and harder to get it running due to compatibility stuff and I don't have enough time to setup it correctly in a kind of vm.
