    I leaning towards yes.. thoughts?

    Maybe, not all software supports auto adding of Areas though.

    That was one of the suggestions I asked to Rushfan for wwiv. Maybe you could think of a solution. either via wwivutil or a seperate external utility.

    I suppose you could have a utility that scans dead.net for messages from non existant areas, and creates it and adds it.

    It wouldn't be a very elegant solution though. Far better to have an option in the network setup to allow creating of areas and having the network utilities auto create them upon receiving a message.

    OK, cool, will take me a day or two to get these setup and I may need a reminder, head's a bit all over the place lately. :/

    Hub 3 updated, and areafix sent everybody a %LIST.

    Brill thanks!

    Hub 3 folks you can subscribe to these areas, and if you have any
    trouble, just send me a netmail and I can do it for you...

    I was wondering if for the BOT echos we should just sub all nodes?

    I leaning towards yes.. thoughts?

    I need pre warning or control, otherwise I get a lot of BAD messages that I can't toss into the messagebase (they get treated as dupes).

    Or more correctly, you can turn them all on for 1/143 (which is auto creating), but not for 1/109.

    I am forseeing that some folks dont change their BBS ads posts and they continue on the BOT echo.

    I can't change mine until I know the area number of the new echo. :)

    My devils advocate voice does wonder aloud though if were making it unnecessarily complicated by dropping subbed nodes and asking/expecting them to resub again to the same echo?

    That can play havoc with my executive dysfunction - a low priority job that never gets attended to. ;) Also, doing anything without consulting me can lead to confusion - those who know me well know not to move anything without telling me, because I tend to subconsciously keep track of a lot of information, and moving or changing something puts me out of sync with the actual situation. :) --- SBBSecho 3.10-Linux

    FSX_Trivia? Has anyone tried coming up with an interactive Trivia Bot
    that canpost scores once a week or something?

    That's actually a work in progress here. I'm working on an Inter-BBS
    door that would receive the questions, and the users could answer them
    and have scores sent back.

    Hmm, switching to a door would take me out of the game - it's an extra action that I'm likely to forget or drop over a period of time. :(
