Suggestion: I've seen an "Introduce Yourself Here" section/board/subforum on some other forums and it seems like something that might be useful here.

Usually, I don't go in for the Introduce-Yourself-to-the-Forums topic. I'm more of a lurker than a poster. However, I read the Saga of the Hundred Thousand Spam Accounts and decided it might be a good idea to identify myself as not a spammer. The obsessive-compulsive in me doesn't like cluttering up a General section with "hi", but is totally OK with cluttering up a section specifically for that kind of post. Even if it's not a new user requirement, I'd be willing to bet a chunk of the real people who sign up would post there if they saw the section. I would.

In the absence of such a section, however, I'd just like to say that I'm now running a basic tbaMUD 3.64 on a Raspberry Pi B running Raspbian Wheezy. It ./configures correctly and compiles mostly cleanly out of the box with GCC 4.6.3. Just some warnings from -Wunused-but-set-variable.

So thank you to everyone here who contributes to development. It's extremely nice (and unusual) to find a codebase with this kind of maturity that's both currently maintained and not a case study in why incrementalism is bad.

I really appreciate the post because it does make my job much easier :) Welcome to the forums. I hope that you find the information here (now and in the future) helpful.

I'm pretty much a lurker myself so I don't know how it happened that I keep posting stuff!
