I dunno about that. 

Mostly one guy wrote Maximus. Nothing has been changed for 10 years, and
there's only a few thousand lines of code. So it can't be that hard to sus
out.

I'm shocked to hear that :)

The only time I work on my BBS is when life severely stresses me out. Cheap
time filler and I don't have to talk or tangibly interactwith _anybody_
woohoo (!). Wouldn't know what to do without it sometimes.

That stuff'll come in handy when HTTP's added to Maximus.

Synchronet somehow uses Java to talk to the BBS. Sounds like a good model.
I'm going to ripoff their code when the time comes.
