Why has this area not 'popped up' on my bbS yet? Normally when FTNs add
an area, I see it - but just have to change its settings... i haven't
seen FSX_LFE so far.
I haven't either but assume we need to areafix them :)

I don't know about other BBS software, but at least with Synchronet, new FTN areas don't just appear - You have to add a message area for it in your BBS configuration, then configure your BBS software to map it to
the FTN name, then send an areafix message to your FTN hub to add it for you.

Mystic has a way to do this automatically. It's a pretty nifty feature! I see random subs once in a while that I'd never otherwise know about, so I appreciate the functionality.

i guess to clarify, it only creates the group when you've linked to it (with areafix, or are auto/force-linked like i think FSX_LFE might have been?) and it receives messages to a previously unknown group.
in no way does it check anywhere to see if there are new groups and then attempt to link to them.

Those steps can be automated with Synchronet (SBBSecho): https://wiki.synchro.net/util:sbbsecho#area_file
and SCFG can be used to auto-import new areas from echostats.ini (generated by SBBSecho).
