    Those both sound pretty fixable... maybe I'll take a look this weekend.

    Wow, I'm surprised to see you here. :)

    If you do anything with this, let me know and I'll gladly help test it out!

    Heh, with the work on The Clans, I'm actually putting a non-zero amount of time into making at least one of my boards not suck... even set up a FTN message network.

    It sucks and has nothing to recommend it.

    Erm, has the original Deuce been kidnapped? What did you do with him!?

    The Deuce I know doesn't like people. Now you're setting up a message network... for... communication with people!? :D

    I'll hop on IRC soon to set this all up.

    Regards,

    Many of those setup steps can be automated by adding your network to the exec/init-fidonet.ini and then the steps at https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:fidonet can be followed to add your network, eliminating a lot of manual configuration.

    It's only some people I don't like.

    Cool, and the network is mostly for testing The Clans.

    That's what I figured. Once The Clans is done, do you plan on possibly doing any others?

    Absolutely, I plan to go through all the BBS doors in git to start with... the GAC games are the ones I plan to look at next since they share a lot of code between the three.
