Patrick Spence, hands the reins of development of Renegade BBS Software to Jeff Herrings.

Reasons for giving up on Renegade, by Patrick Spence:

2000-01-16  Its that time. 

I know I have said for the longest time that when I decided to quit 
working on Renegade, that I would bury the source and there would be 
no further work done. I have had a change of heart. I have selected
a sucker -ahem- fine programmer to replace me as active programmer. 
Both my partner Gary and I have decided that we are going to start 
working on newer projects, but don't want to see RG die. 

The new programmer is named Jeff Herrings jeffh@ariven.com and he 
will be taking over production and work on RG as of today. 

Gary and I will still keep our hand in, as we are retaining copies 
of the source code, and I will remain as someone who can answer Jeffs 
questions about the code to help him get up to speed. 

Now we get to the reasons.... 

1. I said from the beginning that I was working on the code for ME, 
   not for anyone else, and having rude people writing me because I 
   don't do things their way or at their speed is annoying. Well I 
   haven't run a bbs in over a year, so I guess updating a bbs 
   program that I don't use is not the way I want to spend my time. 

2. I am disappointed in several people who volunteered to help. If 
   I can't get people to help test stuff, there is no point in 
   working on it either, since I can't catch all the bugs, nor can
   I spend all my time working on a free program. 

3. I have new ideas that I want to implement, that I cannot 
   implement in a dos programming world.
