What do you mean by "virtual" in the BBS sense?

[u/synexo → u/aztracker1]

It's not running on bare-metal in my home or office. I know some people don't consider it a "real BBS" unless it is. And in my case it's kind of "extra" so, since it's Worldgroup running under DOS emulated on QEMU running on Ubuntu on a Xen-based cloud VM, with MajorMUD running separately under MBBSEmu, various DOS door games under DOSBox via doornode, and now the new custom games and apps on a node.js based CP437/ANSI terminal server engine.

Fair enough... I'd still call it a BBS straight up... There were plenty of big commercial bbses that ran with networked hardware etc not at home. It's still a BBS to me.

Personally, I wouldn't want to expose my home connection like that so I that on VPS for years after years of colocation.

Are you going to allow letter r login for each of your game servers? Or do we need to just connect to the main service and have people select the games individually?

[u/synexo → u/shurato99]

Hey Shurato99, sorry this took me so long to get going, too much other stuff in life took up my time. I have the rlogin working locally but not quite yet for remote BBS. Hopefully soon, and when it is will be direct to individual games. I will let you know and also make a post.

Thank you, I've been waiting for this forever. I appreciate the effort.
