You forget WinServer... which was pretty much built for the web.

Lot of negative can be spoken about WinServer, the cost, the support for
the bbs dos version, etc. But as a WebServer it is fantastic and is
well supported and has been developed well over the years.

I use as my main web server and I still run the bbs even though that
portion has not been supported in years or any kind of update or
development.

I bought the community version which was a two node system and have over
time purchased up to 12 nodes. That initial cost was around 200.00, I
was retired and had the money to invest. No regrets. I do regret
spending so much on the annual subscription to get updates, but then
again the web portion actively being developed.

However as of late, it has slowed down to a crawl. But the WinServer
web is strong also and very flexible in configuration.

My .02, hopefully I am not to bashed in the head to much.

I have a 10 node verison and it runs quite well. I like Synchro too, but from a visual standpoint it's hard to read and I like the PXTools editor.

It's very simplistic in the way it works... if you can drag drop point and click you cna set things up pretty easy.

My only complaint is that the BBS section is relevant. Webforums are big ... there are plenty of PHPBB and SMF type forums. If they would develop it with some social media features and tool it into the community it was meant to be
it would bridge the gap between the young and the old users out there.

I run several large pages for the disabled community in Louisville and a community page for my little town of Valley Station. The VS page has over 250,000 users and 86% of them are "mobile" users.

People just don't use computers anymore... figure out a way to have a cell phone interface to the BBS and BOOM you got something. Most of the Cell- Phoners will write a paragraph or to in response to a good post.
