Carol,
Someone is creating fake accounts on your BBS(Ralph and Bullish) in order to slander me. I hope you will do the right thing and delete these accounts AND block the IP of the asshole that is doing this. I have ONE account and it is only on Vertrauen BBS. If this continues, I will be forced to investigate furthur and may include contacting ISP's of the offending parties.
Thanks!

it's okay when they do it with one :D not with a shitton though.

you would think the bbs would do it by default.
ah, new user, set pointers to current.
then they can back read manually.

Great idea - although sometimes an old message can rekindle a new thread.

Yeah, I don't see what's so bad about responding to old messages. Sometimes people don't read messages for a while and then get back into it, and new users might not have even seen the messages at all. If someone has something to add, I don't see the harm in it, no matter how old the message is. Conversing in message boards is one of the fun parts of BBSing.

well, setting the msg pointers to a more reasonable date would make
it more convenient for the user.

In most cases, that should be automatic by the BBS Software unless it's calibrated poorly.

|09 I'm with ya on that one. It's not like these boards are busy with messages. An old message may also prompt a new user to jump in. That's just
my opinion....|04 I could be wrong. ;-)

you away, though; he's the only one I've seen like that.

I never found that option on the menu, so I did it the oldschool way, and just put the last message number in for each board...
