Particles! BBS is a retro-themed BBS, running on retro-themed hardware. However, when we started in 1992, we weren’t retro… the world has just started catching up to us now 🙂 We’re running on a Commodore 128D with 640K of RAM (which should be enough for anyone….). Also:
50,000+ Commodore 64, 128, CP/M, Vic-20, Plus/4 files (PAL and NTSC), GEOS, MODs and more!
Retro Usenet – read messages like it’s 1985!
Doors doors doors.. Everything from Empire to … wait, there’s other stuff besides Empire?
Active! That’s a rarity. Since we re-rolled the board in August 2014, we just rolled over 82,000 calls, 100,000 messages and much more.

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 — 1 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.
