Not pushing it. You mentioned EleBBS and the main push for that software is 
it's web interface. Synchronet is the only over one i know of that has a good 
web interface and doesn't $$$$$ cost. Wildcat and Worldgroup both have web 
interfaces but both cost out the a$$.

I'd reccomend both WC and WG if it werent for the fact that they are both 
expensive.

If your choice was based on the interface, then of course its all about 
preference. From the user end though, Synchronet can litterally look like 
ANYTHING. Telnet to malkaviabbs.com sometime and you'll see my BBS looks 
virtually NOTHING like Synchronet.


It has been mistaken for WWIV, Modded RG, OBV/2, Mystic and a bunch of 
others.
