I have a pretty long list of favorites.  Since I started BBSing and sysoping
back in the early 80s on the Apple // side of things, there have been many
systems that stood out.

One of the first on the PC side of the house that will always be held near and
dear is WWIV.  To me, WWIV started many other favorites and one of the main
reason I went with it back then was the ability to have the complete source
code once registered.  You can turn it into just about anything you can imagine
once you learned how to code.

That being said, I still run a highly modded classic WWIV system and always
will.  There are several other BBS packages that I really like.  Mystic would
have to be top of my list if I was starting out and wasn't running my classic
WWIV.  I have even considered running a second BBS using it and still might.

So here is a list of some of my favorites:

WWIV, Mystic, Renegade, Oblivion/2, Vision/2, Celerity, Forum, Iniquity, and
Synchronet.
