You may have hit it right here. I had problems start when I did an upgrade o 1/6/13 that was the first update I had done in a while. That was when proble started. Msg pointers for some Users (only a small few) went haywire too. So that is about the time frame You are talking about. I updated prolly shortly after this revision took place..
Hello All.
I have been installing BBS software and running BBSs for many years. I have tried to install SBBS v3.12 for the last 2 weeks, with no good results. If it's not a problem with the files areas, it's a problem with the message bas If it's not a problem with the qwk setup, it's a problem getting to the FTP.
I'm not saying there's a problem with the software, it's just that I am unab to make it work. I am running an RA clone right now, so I think I'd just better leave well enough alone.
I congratulate everyone who is able to make SBBS work; unfortunately, I have not been one of them.

Hello Angus.
19 Apr 41 02:12, you wrote to me:
Bill, even if you've decided *not* to run Synchronet after all, I hope you will stick around long enough so that the gurus here get a chance to interact with you to find out what your problem(s) are/were.
If there's a problem with the software, we all want to know about it and get it dealt with. And that goes for ease-of-use issues as well. If you were making some sort of error, we'd like to know, so we can address that too, perhaps with a change to the installation procedure.
So don't give up on us entirely just yet, please!
Tuesday, I am going to sit down with my copy of SBBS v3.12 and try again on PII/400. I'm going to document EVERY step I take, and make note of EVERY response I get. So far, I have followed the Sysop.htm TO THE LETTER and hav had no good results. I'm going to do it again, and post EVERYTHING in a tex file for download on my site (like I did before).
As I've said, I've been running BBSs for years, WildCat, Remote Access, and EleBBS/EleWeb (an RA clone), so I am no novice.
There are things about SBBS I like, and that's the reason I wanted to change But not being able to get it to run makes it all a terrible headache.
Hello All.
I quit. I've worked on this thing all day, and nothing is going right.
Forget it. Thanks for your help.

is for everyone. Whats good for the goose is not nessesarily good for the gander.
does anyone actually know what that means? kinda like the saying "There's more than one way to skin a cat" first of all. who wants to skin a cat. and secondly just how many ways is there to skin the cat? i can only think of one.

Well as for skinning a cat you got a point. As for "whats good for the go is good for the gander" simply means "if its good for them, it's good for as well". A "goose" is the female of the species and the "gander" is the male.
I'm pretty sure that cliche' is normally used to specifically refer to the different sexes. In other words:
What's okay/acceptible for a man, should also be okay/acceptible for a woman
If you're using it in some other context, you're misusing it.

Snapple "Real Fact" #161: The first TV network kids show in the U.S.
was "Captain Kangaroo."
Hey DM,
I was reading www.rotten.com last night. I was doing some research for
my father. He wants me to find some totaly nuseating pictures of real
death to show my nephew. He is obsessed with first person shooter games
and thinks the more graphic the better. He also thinks that it isn't a
good paint/snow/ice ball fight if someone doesn't get hurt.
I noticed in the obituaries for 2004 that the Captain died. (http://deadpool.rotten.com/deaths2004.html) The entry says this
"Captain Kangaroo 23-Jan-2004 Captain Kangaroo, Bob Keeshan, dies in Quechee, VT, after a long illness."
Well like George Burns said, "Getting Old just means that you get to
watch all of your friends and loved ones die."
