Well, after an interesting chain of events or three, which left me with much
bigger things to worry about, I'm back.
OK, so much for the formal introduction. For those of you who do not know me,
I am the former ZC and chief promoter of DuckNet. Over the past year or so,
activity has dropped for various reasons, however, it is my belief that this
is the "calm before the storm" and we're about to have another upswing in
activity before too long.
I started DuckNet as an alternative to FidoNet and other networks which,
IMHO, were even more annoying in their policies than Fido itself. As much as
I can see the reasoning behind lack of a formal network policy document, I've
been on nets before where the complete or partial lack of policy translated
at worst into a dictatorship, or at the very least something unpleasantly
different from what the very short written policy document would otherwise
denote.
A few quickies on DuckNet's overall policies and benefits:
* No minimum age to join
* No age/sex/race restrictions allowed on echos
* Handles allowed on echos at moderator's discretion
* BRE league (one at present (750), soon to be two)
* VGA Planets game(s) starting soon
* Exclusive use of zone number (translation: no conflicts with other networks
you may be on)
* Several active echos
For more information, netmail me at the origin or Wes Landaker at 1:202/322.
Wes also (at least LTIC) had the info packet DUCKKIT.ZIP available for file
request. It is available on my board (1-713-692-8527) at 28800 v.FC for
download to first time callers (Portal of Power's FREQ capability is not
working right now for some reason). I would show a Fido address, but due to
local politics and problems, I don't have one yet... working on it though.
