I enjoy your tongue-in-cheek response, if thats the way you meant it - while I prefer USING Mystic, Synchronet IMO is the better documented (current!) and more capable BBS software hands down. IMO it is developed now better than it was in its heyday and thats a huge thing!

The reason I choose Mystic, and assume many other ops that do is that customization is easier to do w/o current-day code and deep modification - meaning; if a sysop took Synchro and added/modified Java code they could push it way further than other BBS softwares. Most just... don't. 

Examples of what I mean can be found in several;
Broken Bubble
Digital Distortion
Electronic Chicken
Fat Cat's
.... and many other's I don't remember right now - the one sysop with the blog & ANSI animation. These are examples of sysops who put the time, work and code into Synchronet and made it far beyond a normal SynchroBBS. 

Ok, coming off my soap box.
