I guess these would be more up your alley?
Looking at that, it appears to be a subset that's available in the /204/ url: not additional entries. Obviously, it'll be hard for anyone to recall or find data for BBS's the farther back in time you go.
That's why it'd be fun to find my old Atari files which I know I have somewhere. However, I may not have stale files all the way back to the mid-80s, simply because I didn't really have a backup setup with perpetual retention... mostly due to the limited number of 720k floppies I could afford :-) So I probably only have a snapshot of the BBSs I used near the very end of my Atari days, which probably had already weeded out the long-gone 80's ones.
As a former STUG exec, I also feel obligated to (one day) go through the old STUG newsletters to find the historical record of all the phone #'s and BBS software STUG used to run (which changed 3-4 times over the years).
Old BBS's not on the list I can recall liking a lot:
Stalker Roughboy GameTrade ... and 3-5 more I really can't recall with my aging brain at the moment
