I'm pretty sure I never agreed to changing anything to a "2chan bbs," considering I have absolutely no clue what a 2chan BBS is, nor do I care to (so if you know, please don't tell me).

However, running a dial-up BBS that people can access through telnet would be fun, but I think we all decided that it wouldn't be best to shut this place down to have it.

I'd be happy to investigate what it would take to run a telnnetable BBS after I finish Cryptozookeeper (which is months and months away). I currently don't have a spare PC, though.

It only seems this way because I don't give you guys a hard time when you don't finish your stuff. I didn't check who wrote this message, so I shall just shotgun out unfinished projects of you guys:


- The Verse Project
- A necklace of human teeth
- The cover of "Claim to Fame"
- Sobriety (this is sort of a catch-all for multiple people)

That's the wrong video, by the way.

Claim to Fame cover: I really should get back into my music enough to actually DO that. Stupid Video stuff that I'm working on! Ah, if only I could sing. And dance.

Keep this forum just the way it is. Or put it on the Atari! That would be a blast.

Guys, I'd like to tell you about a fantastic game called The Creeping Maw.

Will there be a port to the PC? Or is this all Vectrex?

I was contemplating writing my own BBS, for the Apple ][, from scratch, just because.

Then we could run it either on real Apple ][, or on emulated, hardware, and let an external box do the IP-to-serial-connection brokering.

This would rock.

A Canadian singer/songwriter that I like has this song that iis an ode to an Atari II game designer named Mark Turmell, and one of the lines is reminiscing about writing his (Dan's) own Apple II BBS software back in the day. That reminds me of that.

There is to be the "Necromantic Trilogy," I just haven't gotten round to finishing it yet.

The second game in this trilogy, chronologically, is Chicks Dig Jerks. There will be two games to follow, one that takes place directly before CDJ and one that takes place after (probably not directly after).

Revenger details the happenings of the conversation Avandre and Casey have at the bar in CDJ. But it is not part of the unwritten trilogy or anything. And I totally need to make a new graphic for it on the Revenger download page off the main JC page, because Batboy is an official trademark or the Weekly World News.

And of course, Casey later joins up with Jarret Duffy, Audrey Case and Barnaby Gibs in the game Necrotic Drift.

Who are out of business, so you're unlikely to be sued by them now.
