    First, nice ascii. :)

    It's not something that I made, just found and saved a long time
    ago. :)

    It still was nice.

    Huh? The millionaire put out some kind of a website package?
    Hadn't heard that. More details, please.

    All it basically was a color enhancement of the basic SBBS website package...and NOT the one done by echicken.

    I deleted that one out of my files area...but echicken's website
    interface is included within the installation package, and IMO, has
    far more features available.

    I must've missed something. Website package?

    All it was basically was a "color enhancement" of the basic
    SBBS website setup. Yours has far more features available. I
    deleted it out of my files area.

    And, he has begun addressing messages to himself in the echo.
    He's either lonely because folks got tired of typing to him, or
    a combination of him being vain and egotistical, as he has to
    "see his name in lights", as it were.

    Admittedly, some of my messages are autoposts...but my BBS ad
    runs ONLY on the 1st of the month (not like some systems that
    have the same post several times a day or week), and all the
    others change out every time they post.

    Some people did some really nice customizations / themes for the old web interface which I was quite impressed with, especially since it was a bit of a pain to work with. I never had the patience for it and that's why I ended up writing my own, and then another, and another, and another.

    Best not give him anymore airtime then, even by discussing him in the third person. I can't tell at this point if it's really him or someone having fun with his account. It was amusing to have a bit of banter for a while, but it's worn thin and gotten a bit sad.

    Oh. I sure wish TM would call my board and upload it.

    I've never been entirely convinced it is a 'real person' .. always seemed a bit too made up so I take those posts with a grain of salt

    ... but Daryl is right, webv4 is a great web ui for sbbs!

    I admit I used it at first, but it didn't allow things like logging
    on via telnet, or doing the doorgames, as yours does.

    That it has. I have seen some messages in some echoes that got addressed
    to the sender (as the recipient), but those were few and far between.
    Seeing at least a half dozen messages to and from him, in succession, is
    a bit much.
