 Back Online
===================================================================

Well, after about 4 months of being offline due to a server hardware failure, 
we're finally back up. Thankfully I was able to rescue all of the data from 
the old hard drive. Also, I've cleaned up the spam that was beginning to 
plague the forums and am implementing some moderating functions to keep it 
clean. Hope to see you in the forums again. Also gave the site a bit of a 
facelift, improved browser compatibility, and added a web-based telnet 
client.. With more improvements to come..

 BBS / Door Games Reset
===================================================================

Since the games have gone so long without being played I will be be resetting 
them ALL. I've removed a couple items that were no longer working. Also added 
a new multinode chat function which should hang the system anymore!

So as to not give anyone else an unfair advantage, I am not turning on the 
BBS until Thursday night (10/4) after midnight. Get them telnet clients 
ready... Lets find out how many of us can still stay up late! :)

To log in, telnet to bbsmates.com after 10/4/2012 11:59:59 AM CT.

Here's a complete list of the games:

Legend Of The Red Dragon
