Topic:  BBS's are not dead
* Posted by galaxyman Monday 26 January 2009 - 20:04 
As multimedia demos have come a long way from what they were back in the 90's, computer BBS's have evolved too. Here is an example of an embeded demo video into vbbs software running va-php web interface. Software over 10 years old and about 1 meg in size. Does all user management.

Has networked message area, sends links to videos to multiple sites using build in networking, and uses .jpg taglines. Supports BBC codes as well. Looking for comments and ideas... Here is the link:

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but BBS's are indeed dead. What you describe is a "web forum". ;)

Hi, true the telnet bbs's are dead for the most part, but, my web forum can be networked to 1,000's of other web forums trading videos, pictures, and messages. Whereas content management forums, like this one, are not networked at all. Think of the power of that. :-b The BBS meets the web.
