You can change everything Mystic displays easily within the editors without any programming.

No one is running custom hacked versions of Synchronet for the same reasons - because like Mystic, they both provide the capability to be extended through configuration and scripting.

The idea that you need to modify source code to customize your BBS is a left over concept from the 1980 WWIV sysops.
