Hello Aaron,

Aside from destroying the environment, there is also the meager pay.
Temporary work at meager pay is worse than no job at all. Especially
in today's covid world. Much better to get paid not to work. Just do
the math. $2000 a month not to work versus $200 a month to work your
buns off for not even half a year, with no benefits. Who would be
dumb enough to do that? Much smarter would be to pick up a brick and
throw it through the window of a police building. Especially during
the winter months when it is cold and damp, needing a warm place
to stay with free food on the side ...

We save the environment and build a green economy that provides
permanent jobs with better pay for everybody.

No more "real names only" requirements would be cool!
No more other "security" information requirements needed, either.
A lot of information given can be misused, and exploited.
Not faulting sysops who run a BBS. Just a reality.

I also like some of the unknown bugs found in Mystic.
