Hello,
First, I'd like to welcome you to 6502ish.
Let me start by giving some context to why I created this site.
Back in the 80s and 90s, I ran a popular BBS for many years. That experience was pivotal to my life and heavily influenced my career choices. I have always maintained an interest and curiosity with bulletin boards, but as we know that era is behind us now. Sure, there is a thriving BBS community, of which I remain a part, but to reach large amounts of individuals you need a different approach. Still, I liked the concept of a BBS.
So, I ran an Image BBS on a Commodore 64 for nearly a year, taking it offline only a few months ago. For the amount of work I put into it, we had only a handful of users to enjoy it. It just didn't scratch the itch if you know what I mean. Thus, I began to work on 6502ish.
I wanted all the features of a modern social media site, with the flair and flavor of a retro-BBS. To help accomplish that, we have the classic door games, live connections to bulletin boards that are still active today, ANSI/PETSCII, ATASCII art galleries, message forums, and file downloads. I've tried to capture the essence of a retro-BBS and I hope you'll agree we've done just that.
On a personal note, I just celebrated my 30 year anniversary of being in cybersecurity. This was a second career for me, the first being in public safety. I feel like an old man now, and I guess in some ways I am. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your visit here as we relive some retro goodness!
