Here's an email I got from a sysop:

You gotta understand Lord is one the worst programmed game ever. It has tons
of bugs via its IGMs. As you can see it resets on its own. deletes files and
does things out of my control. I never touch it. So if you got deleted then
it wasn't me :<
About a year ago Lordnet crashed and as a result corrupted and locked up the
Bbs. The fat table 9File Allocation table) got corrupted. One copy is good
the other is bad. The \lordnet dir got corrupted. Now the FAt seems to show
the c:\game\lord2\lnet\ directory as the ROOT directory.
So anything in \lnet is also in the root so if i delete from teh root c:\ it
deletes from \lnet.
This is the BIG reason I've actually deleted many of the doors. I explained
this in the past guess you missed the post :)
Anyways once I've gotten to a point I can backup with as minimal files and
doors i can backup and run norton to fix the problem. But I suspect in the
process it will want to format c:\ which is not a good plan.
So unfournately the stupid lordnet/lord game has corrupted the HD so much
leading me to this...
