 CP> theoasisbbs.ddns.net:1357 is strictly ipv4 and seems to work fine.

My home router has two places for allowing traffic in.  "Port Forwarding" for 
IPv4 and "Port Opening" for IPv6.  I use the same ports for each and it works 
ok, not sure if your router is different.

Not sure if you have a GUI on your Pi or not.  If you don't, you can:

wget -q -O - http://checkipv6.dyndns.org

To make sure you can get out on IPv6 and it'll tell you its public address (and 
make sure your router isn't NAT'ing IPv6, which isn't common but possible).

If that matches your AAAA record, you know that's correct.  Just need to fiddle 
with port forwarding/opening on your router to make sure that it's reaching 
your Pi.

You can visit http://www.ipv6scanner.com to test if it's accessible to the 
outside.
