[ Demozoo ] Over 7.500 BBStros preserved!

Over the years, the coverage of BBStros on Demozoo has steadily grown. And with forgotten release archives being discovered all the time, there is no end in sight. Especially in the first half of the 1990s, BBStros were made in quite large numbers for MS-DOS. Those numbers steadily declined towards the end of the decade, when both MS-DOS and bulletin board systems ultimately making way for Windows and the internet.
There are now over 7.500 DOS-BBStros listed at Demozoo. That includes unique BBStros, their variations (listing different affils, unmasked vs. masked telephone numbers etc.), as well as exectutables which list different boards that were affiliated with a specific group.
Besides having added most of these BBStros to Demozoo, Sensenstahl has constantly updated a file archive since 2018, contained all the BBStros. However, after reaching the number of 7.500 entries, it was about time to sort all BBStros alphabetically for those who want to get them all in one convenient ZIP archive (along with a few BBStros for other systems).

The sky is the limit! Following the success of the Drone Show at Evoke 2025, we are now taking the next steps towards making a Drone Compo happen this year.

As one can imagine, this comes with a set of technical, organizational and legal challenges compared to a traditional compo. Because of that, we want to share an early overview of where things stand, what to expect as a participant and how to set up your workflow for success. A detailed writeup by mop, along with a video tutorial and last year's show file by newemka can be found here. 

Since we do not know what the future brings, consider this a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to use the sky as your canvas. Remote entries are allowed!
