Hey everyone,

We've been working on something here at PhotoRM BBS that
we wanted to share with the community.

CRS BBS is a new BBS software we're building from scratch.
It's still early prototype stage, but here's what's working
right now:

- Telnet server (Linux/64)
- Bilingual interface (French/English) built into the core
- User accounts with language preference
- Dynamic screen updates (clock ticking in real-time)
- Lua scripting for door games
- Our first door game: Tetris with real-time piece
movement and differential screen updates (~30 bytes
per frame, works at 9600 baud)

What makes it different:
- Bilingual from the ground up, not bolted on
- Dynamic content (screen elements update without
full redraws)
- Lua scripting instead of MPL (modern, well-documented)
- Configuration by YAML files (human readable)
- Themes and menus as external files (like Mystic)

We're NOT trying to replace Mystic — we love Mystic and
we're running it right now (1:229/114 / 21:1/235). This
is a side project born from wanting to experiment with
dynamic content on a BBS.

We're looking for:
- Beta testers who'd be willing to try it and report bugs
- An ANSI/ACiD artist who'd be interested in creating a
theme for the project (we're coders, not artists!)

If you're curious, the prototype is running on our board.
Drop us a line at dev@photorm.net or leave a message here.

No release date yet — it's a work in progress. But we
wanted to put it out there and see if anyone's interested.
