   The entry was listed at http://synchro.net/sbbslist.html yesterday, I checked:   
   there were 2 entries: "The X-BIT BBS" and "unix-bit". Today, there's just   
   "unix-bit". I look at the backups of the sbbslist.json, and I see the "The   
   X-BIT BBS" was created on April-1st:   
      
    "imported": true,   
    "entry": {   
    "created": {   
    "on": "2025-04-01T16:27:26.463Z",   
    "by": "xbit",   
    "at": "XBITBBS"   
    },   
    "updated": {   
    "on": "2025-04-01T16:27:26.463Z",   
    "by": "xbit",   
    "at": "XBITBBS"   
    }   
    }   
      
   Which correlates with this event log entry:   
   2025-04-01 09:27:26 SMB2SBL xbit@XBITBBS creating new entry: The X-BIT BBS   
      
   And then it was removed because the BBS name appeared to be a duplicate:   
   2025-04-02 00:00:05 SBLMAINT unix-bit : Duplicated name   
      
   ... so one of the entries (apparently "The X-BIT BBS") was removed.   
   "The " and " BBS" are removed from the BBS name before comaprison and so   
   "X-BIT" was compared against "UNIX-BIT" and considered too similar and thus   
   removed. I can fix that.
