MsgMessageBoard
Message boards are categorized into channels, referenced in MsgTalk as Text Attributes. The game server and client pass this message to organize text messages from MsgTalk into listable postings.
The NetStringPacker returned when listing posts (10 maximum) is flattened groupings of three strings each:
- Name: The name of the hero who authored the message.
- Message: Text shortened to 36 characters.
- Date: In the format yyyyMMddHHmmss.
