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
greasy kid's stuff like BBS and Door software. If anybody claims to be a
professional BBS or Door author, the least that 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...
What It All Boils Down To:
──────────────────────────
What all of this boils down to, is that I just wrote a program that runs
circles around anything that the Anti-Larry/Anti-MAX kronies could write
so they're all trying their damndest to kill myself and my programs off.
But what they don't realize is that any uneducated idiot could see right
through their scams and childish missions and don't bother to pay credit
to any of their whining. The only people that do, are the ones that fall
under the category of less than uneducated idiots...I don't give a rat's
ass what people's opinions are of me, quite simply because opinions are
like armpits...Everybody has a couple, and no matter how well you doctor
them up, they both end up stinking anyway...I can get along with anyone,
and I make an effort to get along with them too...But, if someone all of
a sudden decides they want to test my patience and screw with me, I have
no qualms about entertaining them and returning the favor. I'm human and
not ashamed of, or have any regrets about anything in my life. So all of
the Mikey Jordan YesMen and Squirtgun BBS Kronies will just have to deal
with things the best they can...They will never succeed in killing me or
my programs off...I'll be a thorn in their asses for a looonnnggg time!!
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....

All BBS Utiliteez Software doors and utilities written specifically for
the Shotgun BBS package have been permanently discontinued....This also
means that the direct Shotgun BBS support in all BBS Utiliteez Software
doors and utilities has been removed as well....
The source code to the Shotgun BBS specific doors and utilities has
been sold to an individual who wishes to remain anonymous until the
data structures for Shotgun v2.00 are safely in his hands....
In short, this means that you will find no Shotgun BBS related files
on this BBS, and that Larry Athey and BBS Utiliteez Software will no
longer provide support or upgrades for any programs written for the
Shotgun BBS package.....Sorry, but this was totally unavoidable.....
