The easiest thing to do would be to spin up a EC2 micro-instance or something.
Actually, the easist thing is to do even less work than that. It looks like there are plenty of existing boards that would love our traffic. We should just pick one:

What do we really want? We don't need the actual Bulletin Board or "Room" features of a BBS, as we have this board. We don't need the Chat features, as we have an IRC channel. and if we just want to play some Door games, there are already people running them that we could jump in on.
You do realize that I already posted a link to the top page of that site, right?
The potential advantage of having a B12 member running the board is that any potential conflicts may be resolved, in-house as it were. Though I agree that there are plenty of BBSes extant in the world already that would be glad to have us, and, as stated clearly above, would make an excellent destination, I don't see how discouraging a forum member here from diving into System Operations in any way contributes positively.
That said, if there is a particular board that interests you, for any specific reason,
that would be incredibly useful knowledge to share.
Whoa.....getting flashbacks like a hippie at Woodstock here.
Ahh, I remember when RIP graphics were state-of-the-art....
All aboard the nostalgia train! I, too, recall the days of ANSI art fondly.
I have a Raspberry Pi that might be able to run as a server, but the SD card port on it is having issues so I'm not sure I'll be able to get it to run. I shall attack it with tape in the near future!
Awesome. Sheer awesome.
