"We're just here to have fun!"
What is FringeNet?
─────────────────────────────────────
FringeNet is a network of BBSes with the intent of sharing information
and ideas with other users around the world. While this net is aimed
toward those "first-time" echomail sysops, we welcome all boards to
join in and participate in this grand experiment! The administration
of this net assumes that the vast majority of folks using a BBS to
"talk" to others are mature adults, or at least capable of acting like
one.
Currently, this net supports most QWK based echomail software,
including Rnet, Qnet, Tnet, and more! We also have hubs that will
echo the mail via a mailer such as FrontDoor, via Fido technology.
Please see FringeNet.FTS for a list of area names.
This net does not have very many rules, nor will it have an abundance
of same, unless the need is proven. We are always looking for ideas for
new conferences, and am very interested in what the user would like to
see and obtain from an echomail network. It is not our intention for this
net to grow to be a huge network, as I already have a fulltime job, but I
do want to encourage communication between any user that's interested.
Unless otherwise noted, the conferences are overseen and hosted by John
Stewart. Anyone wishing to host a conference, or start a new one, please
let me know, and it will be taken into consideration. This net will
have no "moderators", but will have Hosts. FringeNet will enlist the help
of "Roving Hosts" in most conferences. Any shareware author that wishes to
set up a support conference for their software is welcome, please let me
know.
The Rules
──────────────────────────────────────
1. No profanity or personal attacks in any conference, other than
LUNATICS, where anything goes. By the way, the LUNATICS conference
is restricted to those callers 18 years old, and older! :>
2. Stay on topic for the conference you are in, so that everyone may
fully enjoy the focus of the conference
3. As these conferences are echoed, refrain from over-quoting and
give the sysops who echo these conferences a break.
4. REAL SOUNDING NAMES ONLY! No handles please.... No one wants to
message with DOCTOR DEATH...
5. All FringeNet sysops and conference hosts are required to carry
the ADMIN and TALK2ADMIN conferences.
6. HUBS are required to call into The Fringe once a day, while nodes
may call into their respective hubs NO LESS than every other day.
We want to keep the mail moving, right?
7. All FringeNet Hubs and Nodes are required to run the CHECKREP
utilities, included in CHECKREP.ZIP in this info file.
8. Hubs are required to offer ALL FringeNet conferences to their
nodes, even LUNATICS....Of course, given the "adult" nature of
Lunatics, Hubs do not have to carry the conference on their BBS,
just offer it to their nodes...:>
9. Nothing illegal is desired, requested, or allowed!
That's it!! Explore the conferences, and as always, ENJOY!!
