i wouldnt recommend uploading a bbs onto the internet archive unless you want some moron just taking it and running your bbs.  i had a telegard bbs i ran zipped up for people to learn from. a guy just ran it because he said it was "just like" his old bbs.  i'm sure it was not just like it. the guy was just lazy. he didn't change one damn thing, he didn't write any mods using my examples either.
