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?

Haha

reminds me of Down By Law. I used to call and if it rang out (board was down), I would call Andy's other line, his parents would answer and rather than calling back later, Andy had shown his parents how to reboot the system, which would fix the problem in most cases.

Trained parents! You need them! ;)

I dug out all my old 5.25" disks for The Addiction, but over the years I have forgotten how to operate Ivory BBS :( - I couldn't even log-on to my own BBS

I know Bass Planet was a St. Louis board, so I know there were some around. I bought most of the bbs from Grego a former Ils board some years ago, and got his software(ucbbs), as well as some of the other Houston BBS scene stuff, but mostly local stuff to him. I'll just keep my eyes out and search around locally.

Ok. Here we go!
The new BBS section (in early beta mode) is now in place.
Go to tour userpage to add BBS's to CSDb.
You can only add basic info yet, but stuff like BBS graphics, BBS buffers and BBS software is in the works.

There is so far no way to see newly added BBS's, but it should show up shortly on http://noname.c64.org/csdb/latestadditions.php?type=bbs

BBS's are also missing from the browse feature yet, but you can search for BBS's. :)

Comments are welcome.

i have nothing against bbs-es in the database but is there a way to remove this category from the "latest additions" on the main page ? it just takes place and i suspect that in notime the bbs list will be complete and the same 5 bbs-es will shine there all the time :)

And now I went trough SOO much trouble coding it so that they are displayed on the front page, and then I get this.. ;)

Well, I guess I could remove it again, or somehow make it user definable if it should be shown or not.

Got no ideas how many BBS's was out there. :)
