Adding A BBS Section...
There have been discussions in the forums, in the past, about adding a BBS section to the CSDb. Perff told me that he would consider adding a BBS section when he finds the time. He does not know much about the great boards that supported the 64. For
such a section to be added, we all must describe more about it.
Detailed information is needed about BBSs, for this to happen. Does anyone have any ideas? |

I guess type of BBS software used is somewhat important. We all had our favourites and it would be nice to know if e.g. some BBS we always thought was cool was once running on IvoryBBS ;)
Groepaz: nice work! seems quite good to me! |

That would need to be a multi-selection category since plenty of boards changed software over their lifetimes.

I consider associated magazines as quite important, even though I see the problem that there is no single entry for a mag. Yet this might be the solution: Why not link the magazine staffs with the boards? However, not for every magazine there is a mag staff in the database. We might have to fill this up.

I know, double-posts suck, but...
Thanks GROEPAZ for compiling the information. |

NO to multiselection: better have dates when started/stopped using the software, so we can see how it developed |

Different words for the same idea.

mmmh is board software really all that important? if we add that, then we want to add what kind of equipment the board used too - and that will get *really* messy very quickly =D

if you allow that much, it will get stored in a nice way
and if you dont support this or that, it will just end up in the trivia-field or even worse, in the comments :-)) |

According to my experience BBS people usually pay quite a lot of attention to the software used, so.. I guess it should be included. |

Indeed BBS software should be listed, aswell as the hardware the BBS ran on!
There is a vast difference between different BBS programs, just take C*Base and UCBBS as examples.
Also, boards have run from everything from a stock c64 with a 1541 to c64 with Super CPU, Swiftlink/T232, HD, RAMLiNK and such, so it would be very interesting to know what a specific BBS ran on (when this is possible). |
