"BBS Graphics"

So, apparently BBS Graphics is different to PETSCII in that only a portion of the PETSCII charset is used.

However... why is BBS Graphics a "release type"? Every other graphic format is classed as "C64 Graphics" and with a subtype specifying the format (multicolour, hires, PETSCII, FLI, MC+sprites, etc).

Shouldn't BBS Graphics follow the same pattern? It could be a simple change - there are currently on 96 BBS Graphics releases. I suspect that several of those aren't BBS Graphics at all, actually.

So back to BBS Graphics. Moloch pointed me to this thread, that explains why there is a BBS Graphics category. Groepaz was involved in implementing it in 2008: Adding A BBS Section...

It was meant to support BBS entries, and was specifically for hosting c/g artwork as a supporting role to the bbs section, if I understand it correctly.
