You do know about bbsfiles.com, right?  Go take a look there.

I do not allow this on Micronet for a variety of reasons but nothing personal
about that.  You should take a look in my BBS file area; there's a particular
file directory that you might like.

bbsfiles.com has a lot of doors that he can create regkeys from but you have to
be careful as Doug (the guy that runs that site) has been caught charging to
generate keys for doors that have free registration keygens made publicly
available by the author.

AFAIK, besides Shawn Highfield, I'm the only other door author in Micronet.
Nearly all of the rest have disappeared, moving on from BBSing when they
couldn't make a profit.

Fun fact: an older nagware unregisterable door is what caused me to create my
first BBS door, "The Magic Oracle", back in 1998.

Have you thought about writing your own BBS doors?
