Hi

I've had a few beers this evening. I thought I would share what I've been
working on. It's a new BBS system. I was holding off, because, what apam
making another BBS system, how strange and unusual (sarcsam alert).

I've made 3 BBS systems over the past few years, Magicka, Titan and
Ghost. Magicka, while I'm pleased with how far it got, I don't think I'll
continue with it. Titan, I found some issues with my message base
implementation, and Ghost, was only for windows.

So, I decided to scratch them all and start a new. Trying to use the best
bits from each while making something new.

I've been working on it so far for 3 days, it's got message bases and
door support, but that's all so far.

Unlike magicka, this BBS will support non-ansi connections, so while I'm
working on the basic features at present, I plan to add things like ANSI
full screen reader / lister etc.

If you'd like to poke around, the new bbs is located at:

telnet://talismanbbs.com:11892/

I had to reset the userbase today, sorry to those couple of people who
logged in earlier (I told a couple of people earlier).

I'm having a break tonight, it's been a full on 3 days of coding :)

Going forward, I think this will be my main BBS project. Magicka won't go
away, but I doubt I'll continue on it. So if you're using Magicka, feel
free to continue, fork it if you like or whatever.

Have fun,

Andrew
