Welcome to Aliens' Abode! BBS (aka aliens' alcove! 2)

aliens' alcove! was the only Bulletin Board System (BBS) in the Philippines running WWIV v4.20e from 1992 until 1996. It was the only 24-hour home-based BBS in Metro Manila at the time and hosted a small community of regulars. It was part of the local FidoNet in the Philippines, and was briefly in FidoNet as node 6:759/20 and later 6:750/105. It was the first node of the Philippine Free Network (63:101/1).

This is my attempt to revive that BBS, with an Archive of old message bases with posts from that era. Most of the ANSI screens have not been updated, and will give you a feel of the original BBS from back in the day. Perhaps the only thing missing would be the sound of the modem gargling and hissing just as you connect.

It currently runs WWIV v5.2 on Linux. The SysOp, Xenos, is part of the team that continues development of WWIV.

The BBS also has new message subs/bases from WWIVnet, FidoNet, and fsxNet.
