"GameSrv v8.06.03 was just released today. A little more testing went into this release than the last, but not much more, so PLEASE make sure you backup your GameSrv directory before upgrading. This release adds a few new options, but the biggest changes are some show-stopping "Run as NT Service" bugfixes, so please continue to test that mode of operation to help find more!"

"Somebody just brought to my attention the fact that I broke the promise I made awhile ago. The promise was that I would try to work on GameSrv on a weekly basis, and if I failed to work on it for a 30 day period, I would release the source.
Well, I didn't technically break the promise, as I have been working on GameSrv here and there, but I definitely broke the spirit of the promise, which was to get more work done in a shorter period of time, and make quicker releases.
I have a special project I am working on. I need a web designer or two, and a php programmer or two.

"People have been using computers for social communication since the very beginning of the personal computer industry. Long before the Internet became accessible to the general public, people were hosting BBS systems, many of them focused on an interest group or local community."

Here at bbsnews we get asked a lot about our recommendations for Interbbs Leagues. I normally just redirect to other sysops or the message nets. But we like to do new stuff here. So I have decided to start interviewing people that are still key players in the BBS community.
I know we are a dwindling crowd, but we are still out there.
So in my first of 5 (hopefully) interviews we are going to interview One of the League Coordinator's of Gaternet, Timothy Cornett of Deep Space 69 BBS.
Looks to be some movement over at http://lord.lordlegacy.com/news.php
