This is super cool. Totally tangential/sidebar here but recently I registered Wildcat! WinServer 8, which cost an arm and a leg. I guess the dev focus nowadays is less on the telnet side of things and more on web - evidently some small businesses, educational institutions, hospitals, etc., use WinServer to manage internal comms and files and the like. I find this...dubious, but nevertheless that's the claim.

In any case, since the telnet BBS is largely ignored at this point, there are a ton of compatibility issues with old Wildcat! stuff. Which...is unfortunate. Had I known that I would never have paid for it lol.

On the other hand, being able to interact with the BBS from a proper web CMS is fantastic. I'd love to see a full web implementation of messages and files. That would be sick.

Nice work!

Btw - I noticed there's a doorgame on your BBS which you haven't released (the name escapes me). Is that one you intend to release? I had some fun playing it.
