   in my view ....you have done nothing wrong.....it is a classic tale of   
   programer's vs the world....   
   ie not enough people involved that work at your pace to keep up with the   
   'tweaks' non-programmers want...   
      
   anyway   
      
   you program and make new features and insights to the bbs...zooming right   
   along....   
      
   then in an ideal world you'd then put out your work and someone like   
   (pistolgrip maybe) would make the kind of front end enhancements (from vbbs   
   or whatever..or whatever else is in graphics or menu arrangement etc) that   
   users would prefer..prob multiple choice stuff menus/graphics etc  (like who   
   is gonna make an ansi front end for the major bbs clone menu area? i mean   
   i'm not and i'd prob eventually use that if i ever put synchro and wg up   
   together again with major mud..i mean crap who has the time and likes   
   graphics enough to do those details...)... and then yet another person might   
   put this all together so non-programming dummies like myself can follow a   
   menu to install such...then yet another guy makes the docs...and another guy   
   helps pkg the product..etc an nauseum.....   
      
   its FREEWARE people..your lucky the guy just doesn't pack it up like some   
   others ...or charge you for it...   
      
   just keep making the product improvements if someone wants to make an better   
   install menu or RIP menus for the mbbs clone menu choices or docs or   
   whatever....or answer guestions for clueless types like   
   myself..cool..otherwise those complaining about how your FREEWARE product is   
   too complicated...well give me a break...or .they prob should just shut up   
   and pitch in...   
      
   (ticks me off and i'm not even running the stuff wg or synchro anymore just   
   lurking)   
      
   anyway...   
      
   my 2c worth   
      
   brad   
   former sysop lost gonzo bbs (down but not forgotten yet)   
      
   (maybe someday.i'll lever the beast back up.   
   but I have the same problems...need 4 sysops to get my beast up..too much to   
   do..i'd .have to have one guy help me with   
   the new graphics www pages....i'm clueless....get doors back up in multinode   
   no less under synchro...further clueless and prob have 100 igms under lord   
   alone...not to mention..the 100 or so other door reg or freeware stuff i   
   prob could get up...need to learn linux to run stuff like Legend of the   
   Green Dragon Web game...and it just plain gets lonely putting this stuff up   
   if your the only guy doing it....i mean 4 guys and some beers its kinda fun   
   tossing up the huge wg majormud/tw/synchro door setup i had..but by   
   myself...alone...and paying the static ip by myself....(never tick off the   
   local teleco by bringing in a non-local ISP to his area..the non-local ISP   
   gave me a free T1 for bbs use (4yrs) for watching his equip here   
   locally....he is now gone (sigh) but the teleco never forgets..gonzo goes up   
   on no-ip.com or some such i be toast.....).....anyway....i feel your   
   pain....but you do have some people helping that is good....ignore the   
   idiots   
      
   end rant
