   That's the underlying issue: your system isn't detecting a new day. The   
   current system date is compared against that dsts.ini "Date" value and if the   
   current date is different, resets stats (and runs the fixed events you have   
   configured in SCFG to run as specified date intervals). This is done for each   
   terminal sever logon (for non Q-restricted accounts) and periodically in the   
   terminal server "event thread".   
      
   As a result, you should see log messages like this (where the event thread   
   detected the new date):   
      
   BBS Events New Day - Prev: Fri Aug 15 2025 12:00 am   
   BBS Events New Day and Week - Prev: Sat Aug 16 2025 12:00 am   
      
   If the event thread isn't running or is busy running an event, but a new   
   terminal server logon occurs after a date change, you should see a similar log   
   message in the terminal server's log otuput.   
      
   The only things that would prevent this "rollover" from happening (and that   
   dsts.ini "Date" value being update to reflect the current date/time) are   
   issues reading the dsts.ini file (which should be logged accordingly) or   
   reading the current system date/time from the system clock.   
      
   So the next step is check what in the log output of your event thread (e.g.   
   data/events.log in most recent builds of sbbs), the terminal server, and your   
   data/error.log file for clues.
