Vortex BBS: its own screen, 24 rows

An oldschool board from the 1997 art scene in the 864. Art'd out, modded, own apps.

is it answering

this is the board the directory runs on. It is never dialled — calling ourselves would read as broken rather than fast — so there is no history to show and no count to give. If you are reading this, it answers.

every screen from connect to Vortex BBS's main menu, recorded — with its sysop's permission, and at their request. The walk answers nothing it can decline, uses no feature of the board, and stops at the menu. It is recorded again every three months, and each recording replaces the last, so what you see is how the board logs in today.

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.
