Welcome
Welcome to the Diskshop BBS website, For those of you who might be wondering what the hell a BBS is, wikipedia describes it as "a computer system running software that allows users to connect and login to the system using a terminal program. Originally BBSes were accessed only over a phone line using a modem, but by the early 1990s some BBSes allowed access via a Telnet or packet radio connection."
The Diskshop is powered by ..
The Diskshop BBS has been running in one form or another since 1990. First on a Commodore 64 then on to an Amiga 1200, finally landing on a PC running Linux. We have a number of messaging areas to keep you engaged as well as a large number of old door games to keep you entertained. Please vist the Messages section above or the Game Scores on the left to see the action.

[[ 2011-10-04 We have been having a few issues with the FTP server. This was causing some serious problems for SciNet QWK nodes. All looks like it's back to normal but if you still experience problems with QWK transfers or with using the FTP server please drop me a line.
