    From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet

    New service: BBS list which verifies that the BBS's are active and checks several times a day. You can also add a email address and it will email you if your BBS seems to be unrespnsive. Open to all telnet BBSs, not just synchronet. Just add it here: https://bbslist.synchronetbbs.org - hope to work with you there!

    Does it automatically remove listings if the BBS has been inactive for X period of time in a row? 'Cause *that* would be cool, if it automated the removal of defunct BBSes from the list ensuring that only actually working BBSes were listed.

    I second that. When I started getting back into the hobby it was such a challenge to weed through and find the working BBSs.
