I completely respect that, but for me, putting up a totally stock board then modifying it as it goes along gives the user something new every time they log in. I used to do this back in the day with my Commodore BBS' both C-Net and Image. People would log on and say they liked or disliked new  things. I was running a Muxed Lt Kernal so I was changing things while users were online! Best was got a frantic feedback from a user telling me the BBS was changing while he was online that something was wrong.. LOL I was sitting next to the BBS computer (C64) on my C128 replacing files which I was re-writing in real time. LOL He didn't know what was happening!! I still do it, with Mystic I change menus while the user is online changes graphics do what I am going to do to make it better.. Ah that is all just me.. LOL
