The Razzpie BBS is a long-running, retro-style Bulletin Board System (BBS) hosted on a Raspberry Pi. It is a popular destination for hobbyists who enjoy the “old-school” feel of text-based online communities, but accessed via modern internet protocols rather than dial-up modems.
## Core Details
Hardware: It is currently hosted on a Raspberry Pi 3.
Software: It runs on Mystic BBS, a modern but classically-inspired software suite that supports ANSI art and terminal interfaces.
Launch Date: The system was officially brought online on October 15, 2015 (though some older listings suggest its roots go back even further).
## Features
Like most vintage BBSs, Razzpie focuses on community interaction and classic digital gaming:
Door Games: It hosts a variety of “online door games.
Message Boards: Local boards for discussion among users.
File Downloads: A repository of files available for users to download.
Voting Booths: Simple polls for the community to participate in.
## How to Connect
Because it is a Telnet-based BBS, you cannot visit it like a standard website. You need a Telnet client (like NetRunner, SyncTerm, or even PuTTY) to access it.
Telnet Address: razzpie.ddns.net
Port: 2300
## Why it’s Notable
Razzpie is often cited as a prime example of the “Raspberry Pi BBS” movement. Because the Pi is low-power and inexpensive, it has become the “gold standard” for SysOps (System Operators) looking to keep the BBS culture alive without needing a massive server rack or a noisy desktop PC running 24/7.

their screens
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.
