I really thought about joining a BBS project. The key feature I had in mind was PPL. I wanted to make it BBS agnostic but I didn't see any way to achieve that beside some stand alone PPE files (let's say games).
The PPL programs interact usually very specific with PCBoard features - they're glued to that system. It doesn't make real sense to make a new BBS system - I know that but I don't see any other way to bring back PCBoard than to make PCBoard.
However I can't take naming rights :(.
