    It's "bollocks" and it means balls/testicles as well as bullshit.

    I was thinking of switching to this, but how hard would it be to get it to parse @ codes? Then I could use to still display the default bulletins (system info, etc.)

    I was able to do a proof of concept by adding these lines in frame.js

    contents = contents.replace('@CLS@', '')
    .replace('@CLEAR@', '')
    .replace(/(?:@(.+?)@)/g, function(match, rcontents, rinput) {
    return bbs.atcode(rcontents);
    });

    .replace('@CLEAR@', '')
    .replace(/(?:@(.+?)@)/g, function(match, rcontents, rinput) {
    return bbs.atcode(rcontents);
    });

    This was discussed at length here very recently, within the past month.

    Anything that clears the screen or a line will need special handling. I'm not sure if it should be filtered out altogether or if it should clear the Frame it is written to.

    Anything that repositions the cursor needs to be handled specially. I'm not sure if it should be filtered out altogether or if cursor movement should be handled relative to the Frame in question.

    Whatever file you're loading might be useless or appear garbled if cls/cursor-movement sequences are discarded. It'd be better to handle these properly, but a bit trickier.

    This needs to be an opt-in feature. Some @ codes (EXEC, EXEC_XTRN, etc.) are problematic. Probably okay in something like Bullshit where only the sysop is providing the content, but not so good in any Frame that is displaying content from an arbitrary source.

    If possible, this feature shouldn't be exclusive to Frame.load(). If Frame supports @ codes, it might as well support them everywhere. (I suspect 'contents' in your example is the contents of a file that's just been read.)

    Lastly, lots of stuff depends on frame.js, so on top of being opt-in, this change needs to be non-breaking. Frame should act exactly as it did before unless @-code support is switched on.

    So if you're going to work on this, please keep all of that in mind. If not, it's on my mental to-do list and I'll get to it when I get to it.

    I'm sorry that "Bullshit" offends you, but IMHO it barely counts as a swear - which makes it perfect as a slightly cheeky name for a BULLetin program which can be used instead of BULLSeye.

    Here in Australia, "bullshit" is part of everyday language. :D

    So, you're all just talking bullshit, eh? :-P

    Yeah we're pretty good at bullshitting. :D

    Here also - I assumed it was much the same everywhere. I suspect
    somebody is just looking for something to complain about. :)

    That sounds like bullshit! :D

    Isn't "Bullocks" the same thing? Horseshit? poppycock? pidgeonshit? cockamamy?

    I think "Bullocks" means balls/testicles.

    It does, but in some contexts it also means the same as "Bullshit". For example, "That's a load of bollocks" means the same as "That's a load of bullshit" (or horseshit, etc). :)
