   Unfortunately, due to work, he disappears quite frequently. The old Timers   
   will remember I believe pre-alpha a39 was around for a couple of years before   
   he updated it. Then he was busy updating it going through A40-A48 in a couple   
   of years time. The latest A49 is a pre-alpha and is known to have many bugs in   
   it. Unfortunately, as you see he is away again I believe he said right after   
   A49 was made available it had a lot of issues. If you want to give Mystic   
   another shot, install A48. I have been running it for probably 2 years now,   
   and it runs fine.   
      
   I am not sticking up for g00r00 here, I agree a couple of competent   
   programmers along with him could get updates done much quicker, but   
   unfortunately this leads to more issues.. If anyone knows the old Commodore   
   128 version of C-Net BBS, they will know there has been around 8 different   
   programmers who worked on it, todays version from 2016 is a total disaster! If   
   it was one programmer then there would be a lot less issues. Image BBS for the   
   C64 was done by 6 different programmers, 4 of them programmed it together for   
   the most part, and 2 worked and left relatively quickly so it's been the same   
   programmers since 1994. I was one of them, and still am one of them.   
      
   He'll be back (he pops his head into Araknet, and here every few months taking   
   notes on what needs to be done)... Good luck with the software you are   
   choosing to run, the rest that are out there are really good also. I have run   
   Synchronet, and Enigma and both of them are top notch..    
      
   Sorry for the long winded response..
