Ruben,

Give me an email address and I will send you her key generator. She gave Z>this to me around May of 2016. I am sure it is alright to give this to you Z>also.

Try wx1der at gmail dot com -- if that does not work, send it to
wx1der at yahoo dot com or wx1der at winlink dot org -- GMail doesn't
allow processing of EXE files.

She has been out of the door business for several years.

Ruben,

Sent you an email to both accounts.

Got the one in GMail...haven't checked the other ones...and won't get
to it tonight.

However, I tried it with the info generated, and it still would NOT
work for either Leviathan's Reef or Punchline with the BBS Name of
Shining Star Doors and the Sysop name of Enjoy! -- it kept saying "not a
valid key"...and it matched the key file that had been posted. I'm not
sure if it's looking for a previous version of those games...or data
in the registration string(s) is making the program barf.

I even used it to check the registration keys that I had. I originally
had registered only a few of them, but went back, and registered all
of them for $12...and the keys did match up.

So, what I may do, is do like Doug Rhea of bbsfiles.com did with one
set of doors where the code generator had been lost...make the
registration info with my copy of the 2 doors noted above, so Sysops
wanting to use those 2 as a registered copy, can do so.

Since Nannette Thacker got out of the door registration business years
ago, I see this as the only viable option. The BBS name of Shining Star
Doors, and the Sysop of Enjoy! works with all the rest of her doors.

Let me know what you think about that idea. One of my Visiting Sysops
wants to use Leviathan's Reef on his BBS, but the key generator for
those 2 games isn't working, as it were.

I don't have issues with that neither. When I last corresponded with her in 2016 she gave me the key generator and to have at it.

Ok. Just tried it and I was able to register Leviathin Reef using my Name
and my BBS name (Ruben Figueroa and Prison Board). Worked just fine.

I checked the strings with what I had already, and they matched. What
I may do is set up different string for that one Sysop, and see if that
will work for him. The "Shining Star Doors" for the BBS, and the
"Enjoy!" as the Sysop *WORKED* for all the other doors, but did not for Punchline and Leviathan's Reef.

Understood, that setup is a generic registered key, but I used my name and

He said it still did not. I have a feeling that it requires a real
first and last name for the Sysop, and not a one word handle. However,
he's rather picky on that, so I think he's just going to run it as unregistered.

Some Sysops prefer their privacy.

We tried the key "Shining Star Doors" for the BBS, and "Enjoy!" for
the Sysop, but for 2 of the doors, it wouldn't work right.

I'm just glad I registered all of them when I did, when the author was
still doing them.

no shit? that's why i said "The Sysop" for the registered name... somehow you misunderstood that... i don't care about the rest but if that guy can't accept "The Sysop" for the registered to name, then something's wrong... don't be ""that guy""...

Many years ago, I had a friend who ran a very popular VADV board. He loved to register his doorgames but he was a real introvert, not preferring to use his real name.

He came up with some very funny names.

Perhaps Daryl's friend could use some of these?

Hugh Jass
Hugo First
Seymour Butts
I.P. Freely
Peter Dragon
Who Flung Dung
Pig Benis
E. Rection

There were many more but that's all that comes to my feeble mind now.

He also liked to use dead presidents' names.

His users loved it; there was a guessing game that went on in his BBS' local chat conference about what name he was going to use next.

I have my first and last name registered on my doorgames. A few doors couldn't be registered, but well over 95% of the doors online are.

On some BBS's that I used to logon to, I *NEVER* saw the name of the Sysop...only an alias...as if they were ashamed for folks to know who
they were.

Do you remember who it was?? The individual who got me started with
VADV, Tim Cornett, passed away in February. I'm working on making the

eliminating FTP, and putting VADV-PHP on the website, as a tribute to
Tim's memory. After all, the BBS itself is run in my late wife's memory.
I'm glad you got to meet her when you traveled through here several

Kurt,

For a while I put the SIT tone in my outgoing message, that "boop boop BEEP" KW>tone you hear before you hear "I'm sorry, the number you have reached has be KW>disconnected or no longer in service"

Sort of like the tagline, telling that the 911 number is no longer in service. That can happen at times, because of the loss of communication
lines.

Quite a few predictive dialers use that sound to flag a number as non-valid KW>take it out of their list.

Awhile back, I had the following recording on my answering machine.

Me: Hello, there is Daryl Stout.

[Sound Effect (ham mic key up)].

Glen Whatley (the ham radio operator who first spotted the F-5 tornado,
that hit Wichita Falls, Texas, on April 10, 1979) -- I edited out the
part of the Sax Center, noted below:

Anyone within the sound of my voice...there is a tornado on the ground
[near the Sax Center in Wichita Falls, Texas]. Please take cover.

[Sound Effect (tornado siren)].

Me: Unfortunately, this is the time of year in Arkansas...when severe thunderstorms...producing heavy rain, high winds, large hail, flash
flooding, and tornadoes...can develop, and move into an area very
rapidly.

[Sound Effect (screaming hurricane winds)].

Me: Because of this, I'm currently gathering important weather data, and
can't come to the phone at this time. So, please your name, message, and callback number after the tone. I'll get back with you as soon as I can.
Thank you.

[end of recording].

I'm not a meteorologist, but an amateur weather enthusiast. I know
enough to be dangerous...and "I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last
night!!" <G>

My mother-in-law at the time would hear the tone and hang up, so it was a KW>double-win.

All righty, then. :P
