    Ditto. Three new files:

    -rw-r--r-- 1 sbbs sbbs 2511 Jan 6 11:36 random_synch_gj_splash.asc
    -rw-r--r-- 1 sbbs sbbs 1639 Jan 6 11:36 random_sync_starwars1.asc
    -rw-r--r-- 1 sbbs sbbs 1674 Jan 6 11:36 random_sync_starwars2.asc

    Believe two "sync" and the original "synchronet" image that has come with the BBS software for years.

    Now it looks like it's a stock feature, so you don't have to make a custom script for that.

    It is scripted, in logon.js:

    // Print one of text/menu/random*.*, picked at random
    // e.g. random1.asc, random2.asc, random3.asc, etc.
    bbs.menu("random*");

    the "curve" when it comes to SBBS :)
