Legend of the Red Dragon!!!!
----------------------------
Legend of the Red Dragon was always my personal favorite door game.
I've set up a telnet site dedicated solely to hosting a LORD game.

Please TELNET to bbsmates.com and join the game! It's already 
bringing back memories for me.  :)  I've got the following IGM's 
set up now:
	Barak's House
	The Lottery
	Violet's Cottage

Scores can be viewed online from here: 
                    http://www.bbsmates.com/lord.asp

If you would like to see any more IGM's, let me know of some cool
ones (make sure they're free of cheat codes first!)

If you'd like me to host any other door games, email me and let me
know.  I know GWAR has already been suggested.

                    telnet://bbsmates.com

Site Search
-----------
Using this new box, you can search the entire website for whatever
it is you're looking for.  This will search four areas of the site,
including: BBS Descriptions, User Link Notes (the note you type in
when you join a BBS), Discussion Forums and OneLiners.

 Coming Soon
===================================================================
Amongst a few other things, pressing issues that will be dealt with
this week will be:

The ability to have your BBS in multiple area codes.  I will just 
allow you to use commas in between the area codes your BBS was in.
The searches will be fixed to allow your BBS to show up in the 
results for any of the area codes you have provided. If anyone sees 
a problem with doing it this way, please email me and perhaps 
suggest something else.

The second issue is the Email Notifications. Some people on very
popular BBS's have complained that they receive sometimes a dozen
notifications per day.  When I designed the system, I wasn't really
counting on the website being THIS popular. So first off, i'd like 
to appologize to those people who think they're getting spammed. :)
I'm going to create a program that will send out one email per day 
per user.  That email will just include a summary of things that 
happened that day on the BBS's that you're a member of.
