Well, he wrote his message to 'Paulie420'. So, probably *HIS* BBS.

Yep... I went ahead and killed the ENTIRE blacklist file - I think I'm gonna write a new maintenance script for the blacklist...

Delete blacklist.txt once a month; save to blacklist.bak - next month, write the new blacklist.txt only w/ IPs that are in BOTH blacklist.txt and blacklist.bak - repeat the process...

Sorry that happened - yer on the white now. :P

Wasn't blacklist/whitelist changed to allowlist/denylist at some point? Make sure you're deleting the correct file :)

Well, I'd assume they would either auto-rename the file or leave it as black/whitelist, it would probably be frustrating otherwise..

I don't think any of this was done automatically, it was mentioned in the changelog though. Mystic often has things in the changelog or upgrade docs which need to be manually done by the sysop.
