bbs-scene.org offers a collection of internet services to the bbs (bulletin board system) community. We offer an irc network and a nntp (or news) server that is free to use as long as you agree to our acceptable usage policy. Although the original idea was to offer services to the bbs community, we are open to anyone who is willing to agree to our aup's.

irc.bbs-scene.org

The BBS-Scene IRC network was born out of necessity. BBS-Scene is the perfect place for old school BBS fans to hang out, get their questions answered, and learn a thing or two.

Although the network is BBS-centric, it is also open to anyone. You are free to setup a channel and chat with people from all around the world..

news.bbs-scene.org (returning soon)

news.bbs-scene.org provides free read and write access to all text newsgroups. It requires a simple registration that can be done online.

Please do read our acceptable usage policy before registering and using our services.

bbs list

The bbs-scene.org bbs list provides the most accurate update to date bbs list around. All systems are checked daily to make sure they are up and running. The bbs list can also be accessed via the bbs-scene.org api if you wish to display the list on your own bbs or web site.

onelinerz (returning soon)

The bbs-scene.org global onelinerz system is a neat twist on the tried tested and true bbs favorite "oneliners" or "wall". By using a REST api system users and system can read and write to the global onelinerz system via xml or json. By using the same api you can also display or add to the onelinerz on your own website.

Before using the bbs-scene.org global onelinerz please read through our acceptable usage policy.

The more banners you display the more your banner will be displayed on other sites.

As always, please do read our acceptable usage policy before registering and using our services.
