Here is a handy guide to other sites that deal with The Major BBS and Worldgroup. If you'd like your site to be added to this list, please contact the site administrators. There used to be a whole lot more. Over the last 20 years the sites - many dedicated to preserving the past - have themselves been taken down.
Galacticomm and ISV Companies
- The Major BBS Restoration Project - HQ for Galacticomm IP, The Major BBS v10.0 (aka MBBSX) new releases, and the new forums.
- Elwynor Technologies - The largest active ISV, aiming to consolidate as many add-ons as possible before they're lost. Owned Galacticomm IP from 2005-2020, founded the project
