The information presented here is current as of the latest 1.12 alpha versions of Mystic BBS.

If you are considering installing Mystic from scratch we recommend you use the latest 1.12 alpha. It is far more feature rich and better developed than the now (much older) 1.11 version.

In general, most things documented will still apply to the current stable version of Mystic BBS (1.11) but there may be new or changed features in 1.12 mentioned here as well.

To get your Mystic BBS up and running head to the Installing Mystic BBS section of this Wiki and/or check out Mystic Guy on YouTube for further how-to videos.

Work is underway documenting the Configuring Mystic BBS and section of this site.

The Recent Changes link is your friend also to keep up with changes.
