I appreciate the compliments. =) Yeah, I know DoorParty's not going anywhere
anytime soon, and I doubt BBS Link is taking a dive either. We've both been
around continuously for about 7+ years now, so I don't think longevity is an
issue.

It really does make sense, but I can understand if not everyone wants to do
it. There's the issue of loss of control of the doors, and the "what if" if
the servers just disappear one day. But the pros are ease-of-use, and pretty
much "set it and forget it", which is always nice. And both of us are willing
to add whichever doors you'd like. Mark seems a little more selective, I
don't care as long as it's registered, or at least not crippled.
