Hey guys, I have a newish BBS (it's been running for 1 year+ but I was
tweaking and editing everything I needed) up that has MajorMUD and
DoorMUD (as the title implies) running on it. MajorMUD is running on a
mbbs emulator on the same host as the bbs and just connects through
telnet bridge via localhost when loading the mud. That means you will
have to create two separate accounts, one for the BBS and one for
MajorMUD, I'm not sure of any way around that requirement.

The current games are LORD, Darkness, Usurper, DoorMUD, Exitilus,
MajorMUD, and Jedi Knight (silimar to LORD), and all the games are
hosted locally so you won't be on a link with 100's of other BBSes
competing, just with local players. If you guys want to try it out and
leave me any feedback I'd greatly appreciate it!

I'm at [http://www.pixelgrounds.net](http://www.pixelgrounds.net/) on
telnet at
[bbs.pixelgrounds.net:8888](https://bbs.pixelgrounds.net:8888/) or SSH
at [bbs.pixelgrounds.net:8889](https://bbs.pixelgrounds.net:8889/)
Only username and password is required, but if you put in an e-mail
you can request a forgotten password reset (via https) if you ever
need it.

How active is Exitilus? I miss playing that game, but any time I've
found it on a BBS I've been pretty much the only active player.

I'm the only active player lol The board active I'm just trying to
drum up some people to log in. I'm trying to rope my teenagers into
playing but they aren't the most keen

It will only let me connect via ip address. Check your domain?

Good to know, I might have a forward wrong I'll have to look at it
when I get home

That's weird. Using my website address (for lost password reset)
works, and it works for me in syncterm but on my android phone is
doesn't work unless I use the ip. Idk what's wrong

I'm not sure what's wrong, looking at the fans record it all points to
the right ip.. Try connect.pixelgrounds.net if you don't mind. Instead
of it pointing to a names ever that points to my ip it points right to
my ip
