bbs100 is a BBS in the style of DOC and/or YAWC. DOC is a style that remotely resembles Citadel.

What's special about bbs100, is that it's a single process daemon that handles all connections at once, while consuming very low cpu resources ( < 1%). It can handle over a thousand simultaneous users.

It is highly customizable, is easy to setup, and has many configurable features. bbs100 is almost a must-have for people that want to run a DOC-style BBS.

Here are some key features of "bbs100":
over 1000 simultaneous users
automatic name extension (press Tab)
customizable login/logout notification messages
colorized messages
multiple recipients in messages and Mail>
chat rooms
personal chat rooms

What's New in This Release:
IPv6 support has been added.
There are many new options for users: improved color editing; uploading and downloading of profile and room info; automatic coloring of messages; and users may choose a Modern or Classic color scheme.
Admins can now change many things from within the BBS without the need for external shell access.
Numerous bugs have been fixed, and code has been rewritten for both cleanliness and efficiency reasons.
