Information on how to become a Pasco BBS Magazine Distribution Site
General Information
-------------------
The Pasco BBS Magazine is an electronic magazine which is distributed free
every month. Having Distribution Sites gives an added flavor to the
magazine, as many times articles will be written on unique features a
Distribution Site has to offer. The sites also help with exposure, as not
everyone calls around to a lot of long-distance bulletins boards. It is not
a bad deal for the Distribution Sites, as these boards will probably get a
few more calls, get free ads in the magazine and some extra publicity.
It was originally intended for each Distribution Site to receive a free ad
in every issue, but unfortunately there can only be a limited number of ads
each month. As more Distribution Sites are named, the frequency of ads will
have to be reduced. Distribution Sites will always receive an ad the month
they are named, but after that, there is no guarantee space will allow for
an ad in every issue. Remember, a complete list of the Distribution Sites
will always run at the beginning of every issue and each month all sites,
which submit one, will have an ad in the BBS Log. Advertising space is
limited, so the editor makes all determinations on which and when ads will
run. Ads should be forwarded to the Board of Trade BBS. It is preferred
that ads for the magazine not exceed 23 lines. The Pasco BBS Magazine
cannot be held responsible for information contained within ads. All ads
remain the property of their owners.
The Distribution Sites are granted an area exclusively, which is normally
meant to imply a city. It is difficult to guarantee that two sites could
not fall within the same calling area, as local calling areas vary
dramatically worldwide.
The editor will attempt to upload the magazine to the Distribution Sites, so
these boards will be the first to receive every issues. Sometimes it may be
better to call the Board of Trade BBS, especially if your board is "busy"
and as the number of Distribution Sites increases.

Rules and Guidelines
--------------------
Distribution Sites:
■ Must not engage in illegal activity
■ Must have the current issue available of on-line reading
(Bulletin or Door)
■ Must have all issues (current and past) available for downloading
■ Must allow free downloading of the magazine
(this doesn't necessarily mean a free board)
Other things boards could do to become, or remain, a Distribution Site:
■ Display "Pasco BBS Magazine Distribution Site" on welcome screen
■ Create a Pasco BBS Magazine File Directory
■ Forward submissions to the Board of Trade BBS
■ Upload magazine around local calling area
It is possible, only with the consent of the editor, that one of the first
four conditions may be waived (with the obvious exception of engaging in
illegal activity). Special consideration may also be given on ads. It is
the objective to have a stable list of Distribution Sites, but sometimes
things change. The Pasco BBS Magazine is not responsible for the activities
of the Distribution Sites.
Distribution Site Sysops should help keep the information in the BBS Log up
to date, by calling the Board of Trade BBS and leaving a message or retaking
the Pasco BBS Magazine Script Questionnaire.
