Support for IDENTing remote users to their real remote usernames


Support for hidden passwords, terminal locking, EOR/GA prompt termination, and terminal type detection


DNS caching for ip->hostname resolution


Output buffering, which allows the talker to send output to users only when it's ready to, which in-turn creates more efficient socket operations.


Macro substitutions. Macro naming to just about anything, puncuation mark, letter, number, word.


Creation of new users based on email verification system (toggleable)


User expiring. Have users older than a set # of days nuked. Setup which users are exempt from user-expiring. (toggleable)


A warning feature for expiring. The talker will email users X number of days before they're about to be expired/nuked (toggleable)


Remote who lists. See who's on another Ncohafmuta talker with a simple command


Timed shutdowns and reboots. Set the talker to shutdown in 2 days, 5 minutes, whatever. Or set it to reboot like that. Or reboot it immediately from inside itself.


File variable substitutions. putting %system% in a talker text file will replace it with the talker's name. %user% with the current user's name, etc..


Banning of names with .banname. Ban up to 20 names by default, or more if you change the global.


Banning sites can be done by ip number or by hostname. You can ban a specific host or a whole domain if you need. Add comments to your banned sites internally so your wizards know why a site was banned, how long ago, and set what message is sent to people that try to log in from that site.


ANSI coloring. Users can turn it on or off, and use color codes in almost anything. In mail, message boards, conversation, etc..


Activity monitoring. Allows you to see on a graph logins/per hour for the whole day. Makes it easier to plan maintenance and shutdowns/reboots.


Helpfile matching. (i.e.) a '.h rea' will show you the helpfile for the .read command. You just specify the most original match to the helpfile you want. If there are multiples it will tell you them


Users can recap their name (i.e. CyGnuS) (and add color to them) with .set recap


Tic-Tac-Toe, Hangman, Nerf, and Fight games


Enhanced .time. Will take in account daylight savings for all zones and runs on the more popular 12-hour clock. Also can get the time for a few specific time zones listed in .time -l (egypt, cuba, etc..)


Setting of talker time to a timezone other than the zone the server/machine is in


Helpfile format setting with ".set help"


Who list format setting with ".set who"


Greatly enhaced .entpro and .descroom commands. You can edit a profile or room description from the command line by changin specific lines, inserting lines, inserting blank lines, etc..


.nuke on users that are online,.kills them automatically first


Changed format of user data files from IFORMS. Each file can be edited manually if needed, and uses 1/2 the disk space.


Enhanced .ranks, checking in .to for afk user, more message globals for easier customizing, allow to .move users that are not online, .unarrest command, 18 more .socials add by Jazzin


Can give a message on a .kill, "all" option for .delatmos, more data in .ustat and .examine, clear/-c option for macros, more options for .clist, emote option for .mutter/.to, etc, etc..


More compact address resolution


Customizing the code for a specific talker is a breeze. Almost every global is in a constants file. Change everything in that file, not all over the code file.


Have 4 rank levels or 9. Whatever you want. The code makes customizing ranks easy also. Just change the globals in the constants file,


Mail forwarding. Forward your whole mail file to an email address anytime you want. You get sent-mail boxes, so you can see every message you sent to someone. Especially when someone mails you and you have no idea what they are talking about! Also, auto-forwarding, in which new mail will be forwarded to your email address as soon as you receive it. You don't even have to logon anymore to get your mail!


Mail limits. Admins can set how many auto-forwarded messages a user can receive at their email address per day, how big their mailfiles can get before they have to delete some of their mail.


Custom punctuation marks for shortcut commands like tell, look, semote, etc..


Admins can change user passwords and names from inside the talker


Auto-promotion and auto-nuking. Users that set their gender, description, and a profile will automatically be promoted to the normal user level. If a user logs out and hasn't set a description, they will be nuked, Of course, you can set this on or off at your leisure.


Ability to close one or all login ports. A mini web server on the web port that shows the who list in table form, with the ability to go to the user's set homepage addresses or email them.


Gag users, be alerted of when certain users log in, vote on topics, describe rooms from inside the talker, enhanced profile/room description editor, set timers on muzzles, xcomms, gagcomms, partial helpfile matching, add/delete atmosphere messages from INSIDE the talker, and TONS of other stuff..
