you totally missed my point. and like i said, the author of probably the most popular doorgame said it too.

yes, but aren't we supposed to be running systems for users and not ourselves?

that's where sysops lost their way.

it's fine though, do it how you want to do it. i dont care.

i'm not picking on you specifically, there's other sysops with shitloads of doorgames. but you certainly are in that mindset.

I agree to disagree with you and I will leave it at that as this is a support echo not a discussion echo on how to run a BBS...

My apologies for my last response.. There was no need for it. I understand what you are saying, I just offer as much as I can to my users.. As for my comment that as long as it makes me happy thats all that matters, yes we are doing this for the users at least that is what I did for the 12 years I ran a board from the 80's to the 90's, when I got back into it in 2018 I said I was doing it for me now to enjoy it more then my previous time. I ran the largest Commodore BBS Network/Support group for Image BBS for just about 9 years, and it was all work and no play.. Now I am doing it for me thus my answer.. We're good.. Again my apologies for my short snide comment..

people get stupid and install hundreds of doors.

users don't want that. i dont know why people can't realize that.
seth robinson said this a long time ago: just have a few good ones.
he even said he had a shortcut to lord on his main menu on his bbs.

you guys are giving users a facefull of ugly text in mixed colors and it makes them want to take off.

have the good ones. then you might have user interaction and that means fun.

put yourself in their shoes. if you want to do some dick waving and see how many you have, put it in another menu selection.

Why can't you just leave people alone to do what they want with their
own boards? How does what they do diminish you or the hobby in any way?

Just asking.
