i wouldnt recommend uploading a bbs onto the internet archive unless you want
some moron just taking it and running your bbs.  i had a telegard bbs i ran
zipped up for people to learn from. a guy just ran it because he said it was
"just like" his old bbs.  i'm sure it was not just like it. the guy was just
lazy. he didn't change one damn thing, he didn't write any mods using my
examples either.
