MICHAEL'S Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) List

NEW ADDRESS:  http://www.coan.net/bbslist

This page contains a complete list of ALL the FREE BBSes (Bulletin Board Systems) around the world that you can TELNET to.  This includes YAWC, DOC, Citadel, EBBS, Wildcat!, Renegade, Worldgroup, and other types of code.

This list has been offered free to the public since 1995!  It has been at a few different addresses, but hopefully it has now found its permanent home.  I have always paid for this site out of my own pocket.  I have never had "tons of ads" or any pop ups on this website, and have only recently added some google ads.  Moving it here to COAN.NET should help with some of the cost.  I'm now taking any kind of donations that you can give!  I'm looking for anything!  (at least over $1.00 - since anything under that, with the fees would not be worth it.)  I have included 2 easy ways that you can donate.

ADDITION OR CORRECTIONS TO LIST:  

To send corrections or additions, please E-Mail me, my E-Mail address is:  BBSLIST @ COAN.NET - Please note that this page is not regularly updated, so please excuse some of the information which is out of date.
