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.

I have finally finished off the api that will allow any user to interact with a global set of onelinerz and a global bbs list. I'm sure you have already seen the onelinerz here when you logged on but if you want more info, please visit bbs-scene.org Keep an eye out for a few more announcements in the local annoucements echo.
