As usual, I took the lazy way out and started with someone else's fat
pixel art. I mean I could have spent the past hour-and-something doing
something semi-useful, like adding another door or something, but meh.

I love that your bbs says it runs on windows 95/nt and has a "How a
bbs can help your business!"

Cracks me the fuck up.

Nobody else ever updated those parts of their winserver install.  Why
should I?

Any reason why you went with that bbs software?  I've been thinking
about spinning up a SynchroNet install on a linux box.

* I don't like the feel of SynchroNet
* I really like the feel of Wildcat
* Since that and TriBBS were the most popular in my area, I was
familiar with it
* It's not a legit BBS unless you dump tons of time and money down a
hole
* The fact that WINserver was a viable commercial product in 2007 and
is still sold and actively maintained today is a testament to how
great it is.
* wtLoRD
* It still supports modems, and I actually had dial-in node for a
couple of years
* wcbasic makes it easy to create seamless additions to the bbs.
SynchroNet has multiple ways of doing this for free, but once again,
it's not really a BBS unless it eats your money.

Try telnetting to the hostname in the login screen (rgbbs.org).

A lot of the options dont work

Are you talking about one or more of the doors?  As far as I can tell,
they all function as they should, other than the sunrise doors, which
need to have the registration codes applied.  I added those recently
and am not even sure if I want to keep all of them around.

Also, BBS pro tip: if you see a problem on the BBS, leave a comment to
sysop or post in the message bases on the BBS.
