well since bbsing is pretty much dead this is as much as can be expected.

that being said there are several hundred igms out there that are quite 
usable for lord, and probably about 50-100 that can be registered via 
released serials or cracks.

here we go again.

donald, lord doesnt have to be continually developed! it's finished!

it's a bbs doorgame that is still one of the most popular out there.

here comes the bullshit.

lord is the easiest to install doorgame EVER.  EVER.
if people have problems with it, there are SEVERAL SEVERAL SEVERAL means 
of support they can use.

it's not impossbile to get technical support. fellow sysops support the 
game.  the lord forums.  this very fidonet echo.

you do not participate in bbses so you should really stop this 'the sky 
is falling' routine.

my idea of what a good igm is would be anything you didnt create.
all your igms  have ugly colors,  annoying MULTIPLE pauses and status 
screen updates that no user wants.

also several of your igms crash, if you ran an actual bbs and tested 
them properly you would know this.

again, stop speaking on the behalf of the bbs community and the lord 
devloper.

you are pretty much shut out and nobody wants anything to do with you 
due to your behavior.

you call no bbses, you run no bbs, so i suggest you get yourself a new 
hobby.
