People pretty much stick to the user name they use everywhere, so there's less of a chance of someone getting someone else's save game by accident. Not that it's a security risk or anything, it's just a hassle (possibly) from the user's end. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A43 2019/02/23 (Raspberry Pi/32)* Origin: http://www.throwbackbbs.com -\- meriden, ct -\- (1:142/799) SEEN-BY: 1/19 16/0 120/544 123/130 131 142/799 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 229/426 SEEN-BY: 230/0 240/5832 261/38 280/464 5003 292/854 320/119 219 322/0 633/0 SEEN-BY: 633/267 280 281 410 412 509 640/1321 1384 712/848 @PATH: 142/799 320/219 221/1 640/1384 633/280 267 |
