I found out that the description actually belongs to Skunkie of
FurryMuck, or more specifically, a zombie of his.  It was Skunkie that
came on as a guest and effected a name, sex and desc change in one of
the guest characters. He thought that the guest character would reset
back after disconnect. When it didn't he knew something was wrong and
reported the incident to me on FM.  I then notified Gyro who implented a
simple but effective action on the guests, that prevents such things.

I dont see how that would work.. the flag would have to be set on the
room itself.

I used the batch file method when I set up my apartment complex. with 5
floors with two hallways each, all exactly the same, why type everything
over 10 times? Just walk into the next hall, upload and move on.. :)
