There are a few Amiga BBS' available, AmiXpress, Excelsior!, and CNet. AmiXpress and CNet are being updated. E! is not, and has issues with Y2K. I personally run a CNet have been since 2018, runs very well with little to no upkeep. I can let the thing run for weeks without any issues, in fact it has been up now for 432 straight hours with no issues.. My go to though is Mystic, you can customize the menus to act like any other BBS via the theme section. Although I haven't updated it in months I have a theme for the Image BBS for the C64 on my board, and was going to do one for the CNet Amiga but just don't have the time right now.. If you want run to run on the Amiga though I recommend the Cnet as it will run flawlessly in Emulation (how I run it)..
