I read but did not execute sl's 9bbs:  http://plan9.stanleylieber.com/9bbs/
I liked the idea a lot.  sl is a cool guy.

lain is cool and I liked Pleroma's BBS interface so much that I hacked the hell
out of it and made it do more things than it previously did:

Using that code has probably had the largest influence on this codebase.

I haven't hacked on nedmail but I have used it and I like it a lot.

The rumors feature is lifted from Enigma 1/2.  I don't think they invented
it, but that's where I got it.  I enjoyed using the Poast BBS.

RIP mycroftiv.  This code has been developed on ANTS.

The BBS documentary was very cool:  https://archive.org/details/bbs_documentary/
