BBSmates Newsletter Topics for Wednesday, November 26, 2003

Happy Thanksgiving!  Have a greet weekend, and don't forget to tell
your family about BBSmates and what a wonderful impact it has made
on your life! :) hehe

===================================================================
 New Database Field
===================================================================

Date of Birth
-------------
I don't know why I didn't have this field in there to begin with,
but anyways.. Go to the site, Log in, and click Edit Profile and if
you don't mind giving out this information, please enter your Date
of Birth into the appropriate box and click Update. Now your age 
will be displayed on your user profile page.  Thanks!

If you have an idea for a field that could make searching more 
helpful, please give me your suggestions.


===================================================================
 Door Games
===================================================================

If you haven't been to the site in a while, BBSmates has added a 
new telnet door game, Usurper. Also, there is a new Trade Wars game 
running under Trade Wars Game Server, a 32-bit version of the game 
which runs much better under Windows.


===================================================================
 Cool BBS Link
===================================================================

From now on in the newsletters I've decided to include a link to a 
cool (IMHO) BBS-related web site.

BBS: A Documentary

Although the documentary is not yet completed (expected in 2004),
this website still offers a lot of great information about the 
history of BBSing and the technology surrounding it. The site also 
has some clips from a few of the interviews. This has been the sole 
endeavor of Jason Scott, the guy who helped me get started with the 
data for BBSmates. So check out this website and keep this project 
in mind. I for one, can't wait til it's released!

===================================================================
 Yep.
===================================================================

I also added a new DHTML style menu system to the website. What do
you all think?  Let me know if you have any problems with it. FYI: 
If you have JavaScript disabled in your browser, the menu's will 
default back to the regular old HTML links.

NEW POLL - Which door game should be added next?

There are now 5953 registered users at bbsmates.com!
