    I've updated the Renegade BBS website. It's now a cleaner look than it was before. Everything you need for RG can be found there.

    There is an option to go to our GitHub page, a section for online current docs, and a whatdone page from 2003 until now of what was changed in Renegade since I got the code in 2003.

    I also added picture scoller to the main page to show off RG, and the last picture in the scroll is a list of every Renegade BBS board I know of from the telnet guide list and ones that are not on that list as well.


    Enjoy and let me know what you think!

    I checked the site out. Brought back a lot of memories, seeing those screens again :) I started my board on WWIV 4.12 originally, with a 5.25" as the OS/BBS and a 3.5" as the file system lol. The last iteration of the board was running Renegade, so it was nice to see that again.

    Makes me want to fire one up, but then, given the low number of people who even know what they are anymore I guess it'd just be a waste of electricity heh.

    Still nice that some are keeping them alive though :)

    ahhaha, I wasn't that hard up. I built an amd 386sx/25 and had a 120 meg samsung drive back in 1993 ...

    Feel free to telnet over here and take a peek around.

    iteration of the board was running Renegade, so it was nice to see that again.

    Hah! I did that.. I had a single 3.5 that I would boot DOS, then create a memdrive which I would then copy the BBS software to and then I would put a second 3.5 in after that which had my data on it. I used RYBBS at the time..

    Quite industrious for a 12 year old who couldn't spend like $800 for a 20 megabyte drive.

    I think my 20meg for my Tandy 1000 must've been around $600CDN or something, in any case at 12 I had to mow lawns, babysit brats and shovel snow in the winter to pay for all my toys.

    lol yea, I grew up in a welfare family. I could only run my board from 9 PM to 7 AM thanks to my single mom (no support from dad either, disappeared when I was 5) not being able to afford a second line (sigh).

    But even though it sucked, I really loved it :) I'll have to check it out, thanks!
