[edit] Do non-BBS apps belong here?

I've just created an article about Squish (fidonet), which wasn't a BBS application in itself, but was used in conjunction with quite a lot of BBS systems in general. Does it belong as part of this list, or is the list supposed to be BBS applications only? Izogi 23:53, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

This is strictly a list of BBS software, not BBS-related applications. I'm afraid that adding peripheral software would only make this even more unruly. —RaD Man (talk) 07:57, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Linkfarm

The external links here, other than those in the External links section, should be removed. See WP:EL and WP:NOT#LINK. --Ronz 01:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PCBoard

I was a developer at Clark Development Company, home of PCBoard. I would recommend removing PCBoard from the Windows BBS Software section, as there was never a native Win16 or Win32 version of PCBoard. In addition, I would recommend adding PCBoard to the OS/2 BBS Section, as there was a native port of it.

[edit] phpBB

Does that really belong in the BBS page? I don't think web forums when I think BBS, but I could be wrong. I've left it in there for now. Wardrich (talk) 09:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
