This reminds me of a quite Mac centric[1] BBS system called Firstclass[2]. Its client felt almost like a normal Mac OS Classic Finder windows and it was so intuitive compared to normal text based BBSes which I also used at the time.<p>[1] I remember seeing it working with Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 but it felt more kludgy and slow compared to the Mac version [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;FirstClass" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;FirstClass</a>

Somewhat surprised that you could even use threads in System 6. I know in the 7 era you&#x27;d find applications that shipped with the Thread Manager[1], I&#x27;m guessing this individual must have rolled their own thread handling?<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;macintoshgarden.org&#x2F;apps&#x2F;thread-manager" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;macintoshgarden.org&#x2F;apps&#x2F;thread-manager</a>

What a fascinating undertaking. I wonder how it plays with the backwards compatibility of &quot;newer&quot; powermacs on macos 9

Is there an active, modern-ish BBS-like software out there? SSH of course ;-)
