- About BBS Utiliteez Software:
- ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- In Case You Didn't Know:
- ────────────────────────
- Contrary to what some people would like to believe, BBS Utiliteez is not
- some wannabe commercial software development company...It is only a name
- given to a line of programs written by a HOBBIEST programmer. I've never
- had any intentions EVER of being some kind of a professional BBS or Door
- author, simply because there is no such thing...BBS and Door software is
- for hobbiests, real professional programmers don't waste their time with
- with greasy kid's stuff like BBS and Door software. If anybody claims to
- be a professional BBS or Door author, the least I can do is laugh at the
- choice of words that they use to describe themself...
-
- Larry L. Athey - AKA: Satan Of The BBS World:
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────
- Yes, that's true...I've been dubbed as the Satan of the BBS world simply
- because I'm not one of those passive little pussies that always lets the
- whiners and ego-maniacs of the BBS world push me around...How dare I say
- anything in response to a flame message using the same tone as the clown
- who cast the first stone?...Sorry, just because a person is a programmer
- doesn't mean that they are obligated to let people constantly kick them
- in public without kicking back. Bummer, life is hard, if you feel you've
- got to flame someone in public, then expect to get the favor returned by
- tenfold. If the concept of that is un-nerving, then I would say that you
- should keep snotty assed messages to yourself, and re-think what you are
- about to type in a message to someone first...
-
- The Bogus F.B.I. and Legal Scams:
- ─────────────────────────────────
- I'm sure if you've ever read any messages in the "Fight-0-Net" echos and
- LoseNet LoserGroups (ie: FidoNet and UseNet NewsGroups), you've probably
- seen messages where one guy claimed that he had the F.B.I. after my ass,
- because he claimed that I sent him and his wife death threats via e-mail
- (Amusing isn't it?). It's my obligation to tell the public that the scam
- blew up in his face. The F.B.I. found out that he had a friend log on to
- my BBS under a bogus name and send the messages to him using the UUCP to
- Internet e-mail feature in my BBS...He did indeed receive those messages
- that he claimed to have received, but he received them because he wanted
- to receive them...This was all done because of a childish little revenge
- tantrum that he wanted to throw, but it blew up in his face...
-
- Then there is the matter of these Squirtgun BBS (ie: Shotgun BBS) sysops
- all pissed off because I abandonned the Squirtgun BBS package, then went
- out on my own and came up with my own SVGA GUI for BBS software. I'm not
- going to bother listing names here because if you know one Squirtgun BBS
- Kronie, you know them all...At any rate, the author of Squirtgun BBS got
- all pissed off at me over this, and intentionally changed the structures
- of his data files, to insure that all of my third party utilities would
- no longer work with his BBS package (Oh darn, and I care because?). When
- he and the rest of the Squirtgun BBS Kronies saw that I didn't give a
- rat's ass one way or the other about this, they all jumped on the brown
- noser bandwagon and decided to spread every lie and rumor you can think
- of. Everything from me spreading illegal source code, to spreading some
- hacked key for Squirtgun BBS, to saying that every legal organization in
- the US and Canada was coming to get me. Well, I'm still waiting, so far,
- nothing. They're just swinging on Brent Shellenberg's balls so they have
- something to hold on to while they bury their heads up his ass...
-
- Final Notes:
- ────────────
- As far as suggestions for programs go....I am always open to suggestions
- and ideas for new features so long as they come from the "SysOp" of the
- BBS running the program...If you are the SysOp of the system running the
- program and have an idea for a feature that will benefit other SysOps &
- Users running the program, I'll put it on the wish list....If this seems
- to be a popular suggestion, then it will be implemented ASAP....Program
- features are decided on a first come - first serve basis and their level
- of importance to other SysOps and the public....
