Successor to JalaBBS (NL, 1980s-90s), an Amiga board that traded science files off Trickle* and EARN before most had “real” internet. Amplicon continues that spirit: bioinformatics, life sciences, and homelabbing/self-hosting — message & file areas coming soon.
is it answering

one mark a dial, oldest first — green answered, red did not. 62 kept, since ; the directory calls every board every night and remembers six months of them.

their screens
no picture before login, only text: shown whole, as a caller meets it, and never cut into a tile. every screen this board has drawn for a caller before login — 3 so far, since . a board that changes its welcome art keeps every screen here; one we stop meeting on our regular calls is let go after three visits and six months. the art belongs to its sysop and its artists.
