tidmore, bbsing is dead pretty much. these games you are talking about were at
their heyday 15 years ago.

you are ignored from most door developers because you have a bad reputation
amongst them.  you develop these strange issues with them due to unorthodox
methods and then trash talk the authors in public.

that being said, you are not a bbs user and you couldnt set up ANY doorgame
that us sysops setup; you dont have the computer knowledge to do so.

name one bbs doorgame that requires 'support'. i cant think of one.

they come with pretty explanatory documentation , and when that doesnt help,
us sysops help eachother out.
