BBS Directory & Terminal Connections

BBS Directory

The BBS Directory (/bbs-directory) lists classic bulletin board systems you can connect to directly from your browser. It is available when the Terminal Emulator Connections feature is enabled for your community.

Browsing the directory

Visit /bbs-directory to browse featured and community-submitted BBS systems. Each entry shows the name, description, and connection details.

Connecting

1. Click Connect on any listing.
2. A browser-based terminal opens — no telnet client needed. (Connecting is desktop-only.)
3. Log in using the credentials shown (most have a public guest account).

Submitting a BBS

Click Submit a BBS and fill in the name, hostname, port, and description. Submissions are reviewed before appearing in the directory.

Admin setup

Manage the BBS catalog at Admin → BBS Listings (/admin/bbs-listings). Super Admins can promote a community-submitted entry into the featured list, or demote a featured listing back to the directory.
