    Okay, so this is my first time being a part of an internet bulletin board. I was never alive to see bulletin boards at their peak, but I am
    a computer hobbyist so I strive to learn new stuff about computers.

    WOW! Welcome! And tell your dad I was also using BBS's in the 90's.
    My oldest son was born in 91, so he knew dad was 'talking to his
    frinds on the computer,' but that's the extent of it. :-)

    Welcome aboard. Be careful with being a hobbyist, next thing you know, you'll become an engineer. I was a hobbiest and that is what happened to me. My hobby is now my career. I support the largest private employer in Louisiana. And, I absolutely love my job.

    I discovered internet bulletin boards yesterday when I was talking to
    my father about developing a forum website (I am learning Python/Rails/SQL/etc) and my father told me about internet bulletin boards (he was an internet junkie in the 90s - he was making websites before he was making babies). So I did my research and discovered this Synchronet board.

    I was planning on developing my own Python-based BBS (I started a
    Github repo called PyBBS) and I am wondering if there's anything
    specific I should do to make it good.

    Nice choice. I would agree with another poster and suggest making it modular so that the bits and pieces can me customized by the different people using it.
    Document your code, and let it grow.

    I hope you have a marvelous experience!

    Also, hello! I am not sure if this is off-topic and that I should not post it but I will anyway.

    No complaints from me. Prost!
