 Last I checked, email and news didn't work in the beta. However, beta is the 
key word there as you said, and it has been quite some time since i've 
checked. My point is, we've been waiting half a decade for alot of things and 
gotten nothing.

If g00r00 is too busy well hey I understand. We aren't all teens anymore with 
nothing better to do. Most of us work, or goto college, are married or even 
have families. However I think if g00r00 isn't up for this anymore perhaps 
the torch should be passed to someone who has the time available.

I mean this is a hobby after all. Anyone who'd expect him to sacrafice things 
like his job and his life to a BBS software is pretty deluded. So I think if 
he doesn't have the time he should let someone take over who does.

Of course he can do whatever he wishes to, but that seems logical to me.

As far as the file areas -- maybe Mystic Sysop's could compensate by running 
and FTP Server and maybe theres a good FTP Door out there or something that 
can link to it from telnet.
