Thanks for the BBSlink.net idea. That's a stellar idea and I'm going to avail myself of it, I believe.d
Does PabloDraw support the old TheDraw fonts? I still have a bunch of those lying around on some CD backups that I'm playing with using TheDraw un
DOSBOX but I don't have to tell you how clunky that is.
I appreciate the reply. =)

will tell you how to do it the DOSEMU way, but I'll also plug
BBSlink.net as a good resource if you want to connect directly to a few
active games using a javascript telgate launcher with some
authentication things built in. Check out their site in your browser
for more info.
centerofawarenes.net is another such service, we have cake too.
Anyways - I don't mean to rip into the site, I'm just trying to be constructive as far as if you guys are making a push for members
things you guys can do that will empower people to want to join. I
think the technology and the people behind CoA are great but the
website could provide a better entry point for people who are unaware. Hope I don't upset anyone with this mild opinion.
need to be updated, it could be a conscious choice to make people
venture onto a BBS and irc to get the low-down. How CoA administrates
itself or determines how it wants to find members is up to them, but
there are probably more straightforward ways of starting an application process like submitting a form.
Third, there isn't very much content/information on the website anyways and there are useless parts that are just uninviting. Like the footer
and there are useless parts that are just uninviting. Like the footer
is just a middle finger to everyone in the world. While I don't neccessarily have a problem with that, in the long run what does that footer really accomplish? If it had some context it might be ok, hell,
does is nothing compared to that. It's just the way they are, and act, on a somewhat regular basis (you should know this, since you've spent time on IRC with most of them).
I take it all as a "scene related" joke, since that's how it has always been.
And with that, all you need to reply to any of that with is something in thelines of: YOUR FACE! :D :D :D

Yes, you guys do have cake. And by cake I mean there are things you
guys do above and beyond what bbslink does. One of these days I'll probably join up as it is an excellent service, a couple things though about the website.
First, the URL is centerofawareness.net - it's misspelled above.
Second, the website could benefit from minor updates that knowing the
CoA crew should take a minimal amount of time. It doesn't neccessarily need to be updated, it could be a conscious choice to make people

Website isn't a priority, also CoA is in transition, lots of changes, until it's stable, probably not a huge priority.
Again, state of flux, it's just a landing pad, up to you to get out of
There's no need to defend CoA - I like them. I've been kind of lazy to
just I think it's a little more straightforward to get on BBSlink.net, and that's one of the things it's got going for it for a new comer. The
I've been around. Anyways, I could write out a pro's and con's as I see them of both services, but really I'm too lazy. Basically, CoA comes out on top in a lot of ways, but that's not to say BBS link doesn't deliver on
there's less room for subjectivity in the process. I'm not sure CoA would accept someone who hadn't had their BBS up for at least a little bit and shown at least a minor competency with the software. I guess those
things are subject to change as well, but that's been my understanding and I actually think it's a good thing, a form of quality control.
Well, I don't see how I was being defensive of it. I was simply responding
