Net::ISCABBS ======================== This is a Perl version of the developer's interaface to ISCABBS at the University of Iowa. See the POD/manpages for more information. ======================== ABOUT ISCABBS Established in 1989, ISCABBS has provided a virtual community for students of the University of Iowa and the Internet in general. Today ISCABBS is the world's largest free bulletin board system on the Internet, with over 5,000 active members. We have a validation structure to help prevent harassment while allowing for anonymity, a team of System Operators who help to maintain a near round the clock watch on activities, and nearly 200 discussion forums which cover a wide variety of topics, from the intensely technical to the sublimely silly. The base code for ISCABBS is D.O.C. (Daves' Own Citadel), a telnet-based BBS code derived originally from Citadel. The D.O.C. code was written primarily by Dr. David Lacey, then a student at the University of Iowa. In 2001 the code for D.O.C. was released under the GNU General Public License. Several variants have already been developed from this base code. ISCABBS offers Intra-BBS electronic mail and real-time instant messages between users and a variety of forums covering many areas of academic and social discussion, as well as general discussion forums. ISCABBS is owned and maintained by the Iowa Student Computer Association at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. This student group meets monthly during the school year and supports several projects.
