Unfortunately, due to work, he disappears quite frequently. The old Timers
will remember I believe pre-alpha a39 was around for a couple of years before
he updated it. Then he was busy updating it going through A40-A48 in a couple
of years time. The latest A49 is a pre-alpha and is known to have many bugs in
it. Unfortunately, as you see he is away again I believe he said right after
A49 was made available it had a lot of issues. If you want to give Mystic
another shot, install A48. I have been running it for probably 2 years now,
and it runs fine.
I am not sticking up for g00r00 here, I agree a couple of competent
programmers along with him could get updates done much quicker, but
unfortunately this leads to more issues.. If anyone knows the old Commodore
128 version of C-Net BBS, they will know there has been around 8 different
programmers who worked on it, todays version from 2016 is a total disaster! If
it was one programmer then there would be a lot less issues. Image BBS for the
C64 was done by 6 different programmers, 4 of them programmed it together for
the most part, and 2 worked and left relatively quickly so it's been the same
programmers since 1994. I was one of them, and still am one of them.
He'll be back (he pops his head into Araknet, and here every few months taking
notes on what needs to be done)... Good luck with the software you are
choosing to run, the rest that are out there are really good also. I have run
Synchronet, and Enigma and both of them are top notch..
Sorry for the long winded response..
