I originally created The BBS Review after moving to Walnut Creek and
|
|
spending too much time tracking down BBSes that specialized in things that
|
|
I was interested in. There are a lot of BBS lists out there, but most of
|
|
them just give you names and phone numbers. The BBS Review also gives a
|
|
description of each BBS so that you can quickly find a BBS that caters to
|
|
whatever your interest is. The main features of the BBS Review are:
|
|
|
|
* It allows people to describe their favorite BBS in detail, which allows
|
|
readers to quickly locate BBSes that they wish to call.
|
|
* The Review is sorted by area code first, and then alphabetically by BBS
|
|
name within each area code. This makes it possible for readers to
|
|
quickly find BBSes that are local calls.
|
|
* It is available in both ANSI and ASCII formats, so it makes a great
|
|
color bulletin file.
|
|
* It automatically deletes BBS listings that are over six months old, so
|
|
readers don't end up wasting time calling defunct BBSes. This also
|
|
insures that BBSes which change over time get fresh reviews periodically.
|
|
* It is implemented as a *distributed* questionnaire, so that people can
|
|
answer the Review's questions on many different BBS systems and all of
|
|
the reviews from all of the different systems can be compiled into one
|
|
report.
|
|
* BBS entries are keyed by phone number. You can change ANY review at ANY
|
|
time by simply answering the questionnaire again using the same phone
|
|
number.
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in carrying the BBS Review on your system then send
|
|
a file-request asking for BBSREV (The Review) and BBSREVSY (BBS Review
|
|
Sysop Pack) to &TOTSE, 1:161/211.
