    What would be a Retro BBS? What system would you run it on? Will it be so retro that you have to use an emulator to run it?

    Forgive my naive honesty here, but I consider all BBSes retro ;)

    Any BBS software from the 90's I would say. Even better if its from the mid to late 80's. That is Retro.

    Spitfire BBS is what I used. :)

    That's retro - as was its developer from Iowa.
