| * ] - An ] was added to the BBS. It was called "'''The Polka AE'''." This name is a parody of the "Metal AE," which was a popular AE at the time. Entering the word "]" at the GBBS entry prompt launched "The Polka AE" (rather than DRU); "KILL" was also the entry for "the Metal AE." | |||
| * ] - A fake-version of the BBS was added. It was called "'''Demon Roach Underground Elite'''." At the main BBS entry prompt, one entered "SMASH." This version of the BBS did not require a new user password. An interesting feature was that the user list showed the passwords for all users, including the sysop. Thus, any user could log in as any other user. Messages were often posted and e-mails were often sent under other users' names. | |||
