 ## System Configuration
 The main system configuration file, `config.hjson` both overrides defaults and provides additional configuration such as message areas. The default path is `~/.config/enigma-bbs/config.hjson` though you can override this with the `--config` parameter when invoking `main.js`. Values found in core/config.js may be overridden by simply providing the object members you wish replace.
