Doorparty games headquarters. Really awesome BBS and SysOp. Tons of games.

one mark a dial, oldest first — green answered, red did not. 65 kept, since ; the directory calls every board every night and remembers six months of them.

the score is weighted by how many callers rated it and how recently — a lone rave weighs less than a crowd, so it can sit below the raw bars above. six axes, one to ten, rated here or inside the BBS list on The Vortex — one score, either way. a rating fades with age, so come back and rate it again in a season.

what callers said

This is probably the most work I've ever
seen put into a BBS. Amazing setup with
tons of door games. This BBS really goes
above and beyond. Well worth the trip.

every screen this board has drawn for a caller before login — 2 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.
