In the early 1990's I ran a two line BBS based from St Kilda, Vic Australia called Doofus BBS. It had FidoNet node 3:632/509.

As the Internet came around, BBS's last popularity and I grew up, got busy working, living and parenting.

I recently discovered my old BBS backup disks, and wanted to see if I could bring it back online. While I haven't got there yet, I discovered a huge resurgence of BBS's and thought I'd have a play with that Software once more.

So, today my BBS "Chinwag" is running on a Raspberry Pi in a Docker Container.

If you would like to take a look and be a user, you are welcome! If you need any help bringing your own BBS online, [login](/2018/08/31/chinwag/) to mine and send me a message.
