If you could possibly share some more detail on how you have things setup it'd
be very helpful.  More detail the better if you don't mind :)

This approach is the information I have been able to find at least a tiny bit
of information on.. but not enough to do anything with it.

Fairly familiar with binkit and tickit since I was using it very early in its
development cycle.  But only been doing basic things with it so far.

Never hear me complain about tilde.club being where you spend your time :)
Makes me happy me and ben brought tilde.club back to life :) 

> ... How did you find this place?

Had a bbs a bit prior to be coming across the tilde scene.   I think generally
if you can enjoy a BBS you can enjoy a tilde server :)
