retroBBS is a small but functional Perl script that provides a simple, MySQL based, 1980s style (read: console based) message board.
The idea behind this program was to provide console users some kind of BBS without the need of a webserver and a console browser like lynx (and because it was fun doing it ;-) ). By now it offers only basic functionality, but new features or updates of the existing code may follow.
