FishingNet launches at 20th April 2019... hmm lets see what is about. 
fishingnet.phatstar.org:7777 

The guys at Araknet have organized a weekly MRChat meetup. Each week at  
Wednesdays, users from BBSes that are connected to MRC, login and chat. Nice 
thought :)

Tart is a program that provides an image-editor-like interface to creating  
ASCII art - in the terminal, with your mouse! 
https://github.com/jtdaugherty/tart 

Sudden Death has offered some of his source code, in Pascal. You 
can find it at the Snippets area in Another Droid BBS or you can download 
snippets from fsxnet affiliate BBSes. 

MRC (Mystic Relay Chat) is getting a lot attention lately. Specially the 
client. Grab a copy and test it. 

Mystic BBS still gets a lot of attention and upgrades.. currently version 
1.12A43 is available. 

Cobalt ANSI Editor 
synchronetbbs.org/index.php/downloads/download/7-ansi-editors/213-cobalt 
An open source ansi editor to use with smartphones, under DOSbox :O  
and it written in PowerBasic!  :respect:  

Shinobi made a patch for the Terminus font, to use it in large screens. 
Here are the details: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/26/411.

I see a lot "experimental" boards coming to the surface. These boards 
use old software and are filled with many mods. Its more a "lets see if 
this can work in present time". Its nice remembering old and cool BBS  
software. 

Twinkle BBS has closed down... not clear why, but probably personal  
issues of the sysop... which lately is a common thing to all of us.  
Best wishes to pequito and i hope he is fine.

16colo.rs has made a great feature. You can now execute old emags , for 
DOS, from within the browser. Just go to their webpage and see it your 
self: https://16colo.rs/mags
