The C*Base NITTY GRITTY: This "Graffiti Wall" feature was not a part of the original BBS code. It is a feature that I added, myself, after having seen something like this on some other BBS. The actual code was not that difficult to write and incorporate into the BBS itself. (C*Base was written in Commodore BASIC, then compiled with the "BLITZ!" utility.) The original Wall featured a cute graphic at the top that resembled a cinderblock wall. Because Commie graphics are almost impossible to simulate with ASCII, I have deleted that jumble of characters. :( The Graffiti Wall allowed users to post single-line comments, anonymously, each day. The Wall was visible to all with just a simple command (W) from the main menu. :) (The comments on the wall were anonymous to everyone but the Sysop and his assistants, as they appeared in the SYSTEM LOG.) I know... because I was that Sysop. ;) Willie...
