    I like going to https://synchro.net/sbbslist.html once in a while and checking out the artwork the screen capture snags from responding BBSes , especially when it is ... something. Matrix's (matrices? whatever) are cool but, I like seeing custom banner*.* or answer*.* even if they are as shitty as mine.

    Along that line of thought, I was thinking perhaps a vote icon for the sbbslist entries on https://synchro.net/sbbslist.html would be a decent feature.

    I do the same thing! Some of the artwork can even inspire me to call
    that particular board just to see it in person.

    Also a good way to check up on whether your own board is responding to
    the nightly probes from Vert. :-)

    Which would you prefer, a vote for welcome screens, or an overall vote
    for BBSes?

    TBH, I hadn't really thought about that, but now that you ask, I'd have to say just the 'welcome' screen captured during the Synchronet BBS List nightly run. perhaps even a 1-5 star, seems thumbs up/down is a little too restrictive but even that ... I'd give mine a 2 or a thumbs down :)

    Haha, you took too long! I implemented voting for sites on my web site.
    Just a simple +/- thing with no checks for "cheaters".

    https://www.ipingthereforeiam.com/bbs/

    Eventually I'll list the top 5 or something, once there are more than a
    couple of votes.

    Maybe DM will go more the direction you want on his site.

    The ranking appears to the right of the BBS name in the "By Name", "By Location", and the "By Software" views, as well as in the site search
    results.

    There's a top 5 listin on the fron page as well.

    Voting is on the Detail page for each site.
