Bulletin Board News Server is a software that offers an NNTP interface specifically for (v)Bulletin Board. It enables users to access and read discussions, topics, and threads from the bulletin board conveniently.
While it doesn't alter read counters, Bulletin Board News Server does provide a number of useful features. For example, it implements "forbidden names", name size limitations, user authentication, and anonymous posting (through a "usenet" user). These features can help ensure that your bulletin board stays safe and secure.
If you're a registered user (either in the vboard or through a proprietary pw hash in the config file), you can see the email addresses of others - but only as permitted by the owners. This can be a great way to stay in touch with other users and build a sense of community around your bulletin board.
Overall, if you're looking for a simple, reliable news server that's compatible with vBulletin, Bulletin Board News Server is definitely worth checking out. It's easy to use, secure, and provides all the features you need to keep your bulletin board running smoothly.
