Are you looking for something different? Are you tired of dead boards with old doors? aBSiNTHE is a thriving BBS with a great community and killer NEW features.

Much More! There is nothing like it anywhere else.

The web terminal here is not compatible with aBSiNTHE and should not be used. Of course, do not use plain telnet, Putty, mTelnet, etc. to connect.

HOW TO CONNECT:

PC, Linux, or Mac: Syncterm with “Hide Status Line” set to “YES”
Amiga: Term 4.8 with Topaz 1200+ font or regular Topaz 1200

The new user process is excessive and a pain. This will be overhauled shortly. For now, power through it: it’s worth it!
