synchronet doesn't have a menu editor because it's not kids stuff like
renegade.
you can do anything you want with it.
all you need is a text editor.
you do
cmdkey x
[command]
end_cmd
any moron can do that. once you're ready you can take it further and it's
pretty easy. i'm not a fan of the javascript because i got involved with it
when it first came out and it was very confusing because there wasn't much to
learn from.
i've been able to do simple things with .js, though. like prune users after a
certain date and modify scripts to do what i want them to do.
synchronet is a powerful bbs software that a novice or an expert can use.
bbs software like renegade is what people start out with and get their feet
wet. it's good but then you usually want more.
i went from rg to iniquity to tg to synchronet. it was a hard learning curve
but synchronet was fast and it was stable. that's when we had netmodem and it
totally sucked.
