seventy-seven melt goes down.

Alas, I have finally decided to take down my telnet bbs, seventy-seven melt. It started off as a means for me and my classmates to play text-based door games (such as lord and bre) back when I was in term 7 engineering.. and I must admit, it was quite fun back then!

However, those times are gone, and I don't have the drive or resolve to keep the thing running and deal with problems when they come up. The only users who still frequent the server are a gaggle of usurper players (who I assume found the board through various places I plugged on the internet some time ago).. At any rate, I appologize to those players for cutting the cord at such short notice, especially players who spent so much time developing their usurper characters.

I just checked out the board statistics and I am amazed to see that there are 173 registered users, and around 6500 logins over the last 18 months or so that the board has been public.

I shall keep the board's binaries and data files for novelty's sake, and you never know, someday I might put up another server :)

A funny quote from a classmate from back in the day, regarding lord:

This will probably sound like the geekiest thing ever, but it's pointless to attack the dragon unless you have a fairy in your pocket. --MBW.


the melt: march 2004 - october 2005.
