Yea so... yer right the current 'stable' release is 3.18a - but even that is an 




























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































alpha so I guess I'm wrong in stating that its STABLE. Usually tho, the 
releases are pretty solid. As a normal user/sysOp, I don't pull down every 
night or week - but if something important is found while on an alpha, like 
some feature that is actually BROKEN or.... then I'll do a pull of the daily 
code for a particular fix. 

IMO Synchronet is the most current and developed BBS Software, and yer fine if 
you just use each release that he puts out. So yer on the right version 
currently... I'd wait until the next actual release. 

Digital Man is really great to his community, but his replies can be lost or 
interpreted as less than caring to newbie ears. The truth is hes still working 
that software every week - so... 

I do prefer Mystic; mainly because its more like Renegade/'normal' user BBS 
softwares from back in the day. Synchronet was always the paid/business BBS 
Software. It's super powerful; if you love code or have a team of people 
working on your install. :P Mystic has more of the 'cool kids' stuff.

Cheers, daddio.
