Freeline

FreeLine allows you to always keep a line free for your paying users to get on the system. It checks your lines at intervals you choose from 20 to 300 seconds, and if all lines are in use and if there are DEMO or other users on that you select by lack of a key, it logs them off.

You can also choose to not check as many lines as you desire if you're running doors or some special set-up. You can also edit the message the DEMO users see when they're being logged off. Great for increasing user satisfaction as paying users can get on the system, and for increasing the desire of non-paying users to get access. (Written by "Easy Ed" Erdman. Formerly EzSoft, Adventurecomm)

Global Post

Global Post allows you to quickly and easily post days in class or credits to entire classes of users in one command. Why might you need this module? Well, if you've ever had your BBS go down for a day you undoubtedly heard your users howling about losing a day in class that they paid for. And of course, you're not about to post a day in class to each and every user because you don't have the time. Global Post eliminates this problem by allowing you and your staff to post days in class and credits globally to entire classes at a time with one global command. That's right, we said classes not class; you can post a day in class or credits to more than one class in the same command. Up to 20
classes can be posted to per use of the commands. (Written by "Easy Ed" Erdman. Formerly EzSoft, Adventurecomm)

Offline Utilities

Top

Top is an offline utility that changes the load order of modules on your Worldgroup system. When run within your main server directory, when you execute Top with a module name, Top rearranges things to force the specified module to load and initialize first.

Certain modules may need to load ahead of others because they provide some functionality to modules that load after them. Examples include ELWCOLOR (Colorize) and ELWGLOB (Globals) which impact module strings and might miss some if they're initialized before Colorize / Globals are loaded.
