Current Status
Although BBSes have been eclipsed by the World Wide Web and the Internet, WWIV and other popular software still exist and are supported today. One popular WWIV support site is owned by Frank Reid, who runs Eagle's Dare BBS near Washington, DC.
The current 5.0 release has enhanced Internet gateway capabilities such as telnet accessibility, and other modern features.
WWIV is now owned by Dean Nash aka Trader Jack; his BBS is at bbs.wwiv.com.
WWIV uses the Synchronet FOSSIL driver and is released under the Apache Software License.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:
“The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that positions be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one’s contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
“The influx of women into paid work and her increased power raise a woman’s aspirations and hopes for equal treatment at home. Her lower wage and status at work and the threat of divorce reduce what she presses for and actually expects.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
