Title: Secret Society of BBS SysOps

The Secret Society of BBS SysOps, is now live. It's a certification program
for BBS operators (sysops). Four ranks: Initiate, Operator, Adept, and
Master. Every rank has a curriculum covering the things that actually matter -
 BBS software, door games, message networks, ANSI art, FidoNet, the history
and the law. Study materials are free and open to anyone, no account needed.
When you're ready, you take the exam. Pass, and you're a certified member.
You get a downloadable PDF certificate with a QR verification link, an ANSI
badge you can display on your own BBS, and a member ID in the public
registry. As of the time of this post there are 93/100 Founding Member spots
available. Once those 100 are gone, they're gone. For pricing please visit
the SSBBSS website! If you run a BBS, or you used to, or you just care about
keeping this scene alive - come and have a look. [https://ssbbss.org/]
