Intrigued? Hooked? Slightly interested? Then read on. This help stack will explain all the details of how to be a Sysop (even if you never finished high school).
Confused? Don't know what "BBS" means? Then read on anyway. All the mysteries will be explained (well, most of them anyway)...

HyperBBS 1.0 Release Notes:
This is the long-awaited, first full release of HyperBBS. Feel free to use HyperBBS for anything you like. The only restriction is that you not sell it for money, unless the it's a nominal charge to cover distribution.
The goal of HyperBBS is to be so easy to set up and run that we'll see lots and lots of BBSs springing up all over the place.
Beta-testers: Those of you who downloaded and tested 1.0b1: Thanks! You helped to find several significant bugs and to make HyperBBS much much better. Remember, however, that one condition of downloading the beta version was that you upgrade to this, the release version. Having only one version will greatly reduce confusion in the future. There's an appendix in this stack with information on how to update your BBS painlessly (well, mostly painless). Thanks again.
