Hello Scott!

On 02 Sep 2025, Scott Street said the following...

 SS>   a)  it tried to be everything -  BBS, Mailer, Tosser/Packer,
 SS> Scheduler... etc.   Would have been much better to just be the BBS.

Yes, that could be true. I guess including it all in one package is a good way
to get things up and running easier than otherwise. It is possible, though, to
replace some parts if you wish to -- I chose to use binkd and ifcico as
mailers, but Mystic as tosser and BBS, for example.

 SS>   b)  Not open source; this is minor in the grand scheme if the

Yes, it does make the product more vulnerable over time. I believe, though,
that some earlier version of Mystic actually *was* released as open source,
but that it mostly resulted in other people rebranding it, claiming it to be
their own work, and probably not contributing much to its development, which
surely must have annoyed (and saddened) g00r00 after putting so much effort
into it over the years...

Best regards
Bj”rn
