That was my first thought as well, but I couldn't think of how the wildcard search pattern would look if only a year was specified for a yearly bulletin.
It would look like /sbbs/data/logs/*22.log, unless I'm overlooking something obvious.

I decided against the .lol files, since their status is "discouraged" on the http://wiki.synchro.net/ref:files page. Also, they don't track door usage.
