   I have tried to also get hold of Chad and I am assuming at this stage that his   
   BBS is on auto pilot. As far as I can see, there has been no sysop login in the   
   last while. It is hard to know.   
      
   I have sent him routed netmails, emails and messages on his bbs and all to no   
   avail. Maybe he has family or other issues, we don't know but no one seems to   
   be a stand in, in the event that he cannot be contacted.   
      
   I cannot recall seeing a message from him here saying he was back running it,   
   it was someone else who mentioned it and Chad's bbs
