Welcome to The Outer Wall

The Outer Wall is a modern Citadel BBS, built in the spirit of classic bulletin board systems: shared spaces, persistent conversations, files, ideas, and people. No feeds, no algorithms, no “engagement optimization.” Just text, community, and time.

This is a haven away from the rest of the BBS scene. Tired of the same grumpy old right wing jerk offs ruining your retrocomputing experience? This is the place for you to be you.

How to Connect

Classic Mode (Recommended)

For the authentic experience, connect directly:

telnet outerwall.net

or, for encrypted access:

ssh citadel@outerwall.net

If you’ve never used a BBS before: don’t worry. The menus are friendly, exploration is encouraged, and nothing here bites unless you ask it to.

Web Mode

You can also browse and participate through your web browser. In fact it's probably what you're doing right now.
