   Hello Scott!   
      
   On 02 Sep 2025, Scott Street said the following...   
      
    SS>   a)  it tried to be everything -  BBS, Mailer, Tosser/Packer,   
    SS> Scheduler... etc.   Would have been much better to just be the BBS.   
      
   Yes, that could be true. I guess including it all in one package is a good way   
   to get things up and running easier than otherwise. It is possible, though, to   
   replace some parts if you wish to -- I chose to use binkd and ifcico as   
   mailers, but Mystic as tosser and BBS, for example.   
      
    SS>   b)  Not open source; this is minor in the grand scheme if the   
    SS> developers support the product actively, but if said developers decide   
    SS> to abandon the project - I would have liked them to make arrangements to   
    SS> "pass the torch" as it where.   
      
   Yes, it does make the product more vulnerable over time. I believe, though,   
   that some earlier version of Mystic actually *was* released as open source,   
   but that it mostly resulted in other people rebranding it, claiming it to be   
   their own work, and probably not contributing much to its development, which   
   surely must have annoyed (and saddened) g00r00 after putting so much effort   
   into it over the years...   
      
   Best regards
