Yes - I noticed that the preview for each BBS wasn't populated after I imported
the list from SYNCDATA, so I ran the verify step locally so that I'd have some
"images" to work with.

I actually think it looks okay, though it's a bit slow to load. It's clean and
simple, which is good - and would look fine if iframed into another page. I
could make a few cosmetic changes, but that would just be to make it suit my
preferences and not because it's bad in its current state.
I'm not sure if spammers harvesting addresses from mailto links is still / ever
was much of a problem, but it might be good to omit the sysop email addresses
from the list, or obscure them. There are a number of ways to do this with
client-side JS, which would stop simple scrapers. (Maybe base64 encode the
address when producing the page, then decode it on hover / click.)
