    Hey Mro!

    Hello, I have uploaded all the sunrise doors programs. 16 bit, 32bit

    Apologies if this was already mentioned and I wasn't paying attention to the thread..

    Are they not able to be registered via Al's website any more, or has he stopped responding?

    I only ask because I got that bundle like 10+ years ago (don't currently offer the doors, but still have the saved email with the codes), so I don't know the current status of registration or if Al's around anymore.

    people said his site was down for a long time.
    i went on archive.org and looks like it's been down with the server error since 2024

    his emails from from his domain and i'm not sure if he still has that domain. looks like i paid him 55.55 in 2012. paypal receipt doesnt show his info.

    On a positive note, he offered those doors with free keys via that
    website for quite awhile before deciding to close up shop. I'm
    guessing he has no way to open source them or make some kind of
    master key to put out there for everyone to use. So I suppose as long

    Al wouldn't have open sourced them. he paid for them. I'm surprised he even did keys for tips.

    Probably like 5 people donated i bet.

    Looks like I have two emails saved from April of 2015. One was from al@sunrisedoors.com (the actual list of keys) and the other from support@sunrisedoors.com (the verification email that I requested

    Yes, i have that too. i just didn't want to post it so spammers would
    harvest it :D


    do you think i should delete that file i uploaded and let people contact him? ---

    i emailed him and asked if it's okay for me to distro my keys
    or if he would do a master key.

    Right on. Why let this hobby stuff die/disappear when it doesn't have
    to?
    I would have done a farewell sale. Saying $15 for each package, Dos or winserver. Instead of just fading away entirely. Saying you have six
    months to make a deal with me and after that goodbye.

    it other than being kinda rude. but whatever.

    I suppose he could have done that, but he was giving away free keys to anyone that emailed for over a decade. He could have easily made a one-time catch-all "My BBS" registration with all of the keys, and just send it out in a zip file.
