• What if the BBS was created in 2025?

    From BBS ( /u/Sal-E-Cee https://www.reddit.com/user/Sal-E-Cee ) to All on Sun Oct 5 16:37:05 2025

    I know, some are just going to point me to any website.
    My question really is - what if there were a small percentage of people who loved the idea of the BBS - more so than the website (imagine that?)...
    What features would be present now that weren't back then? I imagine it wouldn't just be another social network like Facebook.
    If it would - then let's focus on what it really USED to be in the beginning - for local people - calling local phone numbers. So it would be all about locality - so not the typically social network.
    While I've been working on my project (https://webgen2.com), I've been trying to think about what else to add - to make it more palatable to people TODAY - without taking away from what the BBS used to be.
    Currently, it does have the "BBS in your pocket" feel - especially for the SysOp. I'll be able to show you that soon...
    But what about the front end? I was considering some sort of activity feed... Would that make sense?
    In any event, that's ONE feature. What are some more features? submitted by /u/Sal-E-Cee [link] [comments]
