Hello Daniel,

Da> I've been a bbs user for a long time but now, finally, working toward
Da> launching my own board. It's been a long time coming, but now that a
Da> few days have passed since I started a VM and got initial
Da> configuration past, I'm now realizing that I have much to learn.

That's awesome to hear, I hope you enjoy it. I have been enjoying it for quite a few years now. :)

Da> Hope that I can get some advice as I go along. I will be reading
Da> through the newsgroup as well as the echoes.

By all means, if you have questions post them. There are many here who well help you along, if we can.

Da> I used to be a daily user of digitaldistortionbbs. After a few years
Da> of that, I've been on Bottomless Abyss hanging in MRC.

I was a big time BBS user myself. I don't get much time to step away from my own BBS but I have been known to look up different BBSs at times.

Da> The last few months, I've been creating some scripts that'll be used
Da> to supplement my board as I build it up.

Da> Creating ANSI is also quite time consuming since I have the artistic
Da> talent of an art school flunkie.

I am much the same. I love the look that some have done with ansi. While I understand ansi and how to use it, I am not artist in any way and can't create ansi screens myself.

Ttyl :-),
