    I have been browsing boards, to find heavily modified boards. What are some of the most decked out modded boards around? Are there any that do not even resemble the software they are using? (like major bbs, synchronet, mystic, you get the ideah lol)

    I totally get this. I am currently trying to restart my system, and as
    such am trying to bring back and update the modules for my particular
    BBS package that I wrote to get them up to date with current release of
    the software.

    Tjhanks. Right now, I'm putting my qwk networking mod (started in
    2014), which is basically a WINS version of the QWK by FTP script that
    ships with Synchronet.

    There is one you can get to from BCR game server but cannot remember the name of it.

    Is there by chance a way to disable putting all of your message headers in the actual message body?

    Just so you know... I've quoted your entire message above. Every
    message you post includes all that "header" garbage in it, at the
    beginning of each message, which should not be happening.

    There are other menu systems available for Synchronet 2.x that'll work
    with a little bit of tweaking. I took the Renegade-like menus, added
    some color to them, and added an ansi header. You don't have to go too
    far down to see stock Synchronet, though.

    I see a lot of ANSIs out there, would love to see some menu mods that
    change how the BBSes function.
