Not familiar with BBBS, but I think there should be a way to lock down message
numbers.  This is one reason why I make sure all my message base numbers are
strictly static.  Mystic can auto-add but it assigns a static number to every
BBS Conference that the sysop can't change.  Wildcat does assign a conference
number and it usually is static, but there are third party utils that can sort
the conferences which screw the QWK up.  Synchro has the ability to assign a
static or a dynamic if I remember correctly.  RA is dependant on the door
software you use.  BW did not have a way to assign a static # but OLMS did.

Every software that I have ran has the capability to assign a Static solution
for the conference numbers.  I know my USENET is a mess if you don't have the
conference name sorting turned on as I do add groups with no rhyme or reason.

I guess this is on topic because this has caused a lot of controversy in the
past.  :-)  But I would not turn away a QWK reader under any circumstances.
