+# GBBS (Go Bulletin Board System)

+GBBS is a modern implementation of a classic Bulletin Board System (BBS) written in Go. It provides a nostalgic interface with modern backend technologies, supporting Telnet, SSH, and Web access.
+
+## Features
+
+- Multi-protocol support: Telnet, SSH, and Web
+- User authentication and registration
+- Message board functionality
+- ANSI color support for Telnet and SSH clients
+- Customizable welcome screen
+- SQLite database for user management
+- Concurrent connections handling
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Go 1.16 or later
+- SQLite
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```
+   git clone https://github.com/strangeprogram/gbbs.git
+   cd gbbs
+   ```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+   ```
+   go mod tidy
+   ```
+
+3. Create a `config.json` file in the project root:
+   ```json
+   {
+       "telnet_port": 2323,
+       "ssh_port": 2222,
+       "web_port": 8080,
+       "guestbook_path": "guestbook.txt",
+       "web_root": "web",
+       "welcome_screen_path": "welcome.ans"
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. Create a `welcome.ans` file with your desired ANSI art welcome screen.
+
+### Running the BBS
+
+To run the BBS in debug mode:
+
+```
+go run cmd/gbbs/main.go --debug
+```
+
+To compile and run:
+
+```
+go build -o gbbs cmd/gbbs/main.go
+./gbbs
+```
+
+## Connecting to the BBS
+
+- Telnet: `telnet localhost 2323`
+- SSH: `ssh localhost -p 2222`
+- Web: Open a browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8080`
+
+## Version History
+
+- v0.1: Initial implementation with basic Telnet support
+- v0.2: Added SSH support
+- v0.3: Implemented web interface
+- v0.4: Added user authentication and registration
+- v0.5: Introduced message board functionality
+- v0.6: Improved ANSI color support and welcome screen customization
+- v0.7: Fixed SSH input handling issues
+
+## TODO
+
+- [ ] Implement IRC link integration
+- [ ] Add file transfer capabilities
+- [ ] Create a more robust web interface
+- [ ] Implement user roles and permissions
+- [ ] Add support for multiple message boards/forums
+- [ ] Implement private messaging between users
+- [ ] Create a plugin system for easy feature extensions
+- [ ] Add support for external authentication methods (e.g., OAuth)
+- [ ] Implement a basic game or interactive feature
+- [ ] Create a telnet/SSH client specifically designed for this BBS
