I am BOTH.  As a user, I love SearchLight.  Very simple and easy to use.
It's the best BBS, as far as I'm concerned.  
As a SysOp, I still enjoy it.  It's not very difficult to run.  Being a user,
I can understand how it works.  And, now, with the configurability, I can
make it do anything else I want it to, if I didn't like the way it worked!
I can even set it up so that the USERs can CHOOSE which way they like it.
 For instance, for my Commodore users, I have a setup that allows them to
use the board as if it were an AA BBS - a Commodore BBS, which I ran previous
to SL.  Their choice.  Default is of course, Frank's menus.  I don't see
what you see as so difficult in setting it up or running it.  It's all completely
menu driven!!  How can you go wrong with THAT???  Since you bought the BBS,
if you need help - just ask.  Frank is too busy to handle every query that
comes by him.  But,if you want, I'm perfectly willing to assist you!  I'm
just wondering what you find so bad/so hard about being a SysOp of SL?

NOt only have I tried to run it, I have been running it for about a year
now, with enhancements coming ALL the time.  It's never failed me, unlike
my hard drive, and some other programs.
