💬 Multi Relay Chat (MRC)
Keeping the BBS world connected
🌐 A Connected Community
Multi Relay Chat (MRC) connects 150+ BBS systems worldwide into a shared, real-time chat network.
Traditionally, Bulletin Board Systems operate independantly, each with its own users, culture, and environment. MRC bridges those systems together, allowing users from different BBSes to communicate seamlessly, as if they were all on the same platform.
It brings back the feeling of early online communities—simple, direct, and human—while using modern infrastructure to keep everything connected.
🧠 How It Works
MRC acts as a relay network between BBS nodes.
Messages sent from one system are distributed across the network through relay servers, reaching users on other connected systems in real time. The design is intentionally lightweight and compatible with a wide range of BBS software, making it easy for sysops to integrate.
The result is a living network, where conversations flow continuously across systems, locations, and time zones.
❤️ A Community-Driven Project
MRC is not a commercial service.
There are:
- No ads
- No paywalls
- No locked features
- No censorship
It exists because people care about keeping the BBS ecosystem alive.
The network is maintained through time, effort, and infrastructure provided by contributors who believe in the project.
🎯 Why This Campaign Exists
This campaign is not about profit.
👉 It exists to:
- Cover infrastructure and hosting costs
- Maintain reliable relay servers
- Support growth as more BBS systems join
- Avoid having to fund everything personally
As the network expands, so do the costs and operational requirements.
This is about making MRC sustainable long-term.
If you can’t contribute, sharing this campaign helps just as much, every share strengthens the network.
