GET A TYPING TUTOR
The next suggestion is one that sometimes is
overlooked, but it is really important: 99.9% of
your time running a BBS is TYPING! Now that was an
obvious statement but suprisingly overlooked by a lot
of new sysops. SAVE YOURSELF a LOT of FRUSTRATION
--- if you are not a "fluent typist" get yourself a
typing tutor program and USE IT! and learn how to
type. Once you get the basics down you will be
"practicing" for the rest of your life ... and it
will become easier and easier as time goes by.
Especially with the amount of typing that is required
in running a board. There is a program called:
FASTYP30.ZIP on my bbs and can be downloaded free by
calling 804-625-0728.
A word regarding typing on a bbs. USING CAPITAL
LETTERS LIKE THIS MEANS YOU ARE SHOUTING!!!!!!! We
only use capital letters if we are trying to
EMPHASIZE something!!! Don't SHOUT!! on a board! It
really is impolite and some people really take
offense at it!
The chat mode of a bbs is the place where "live"
typing takes place. This is usually done between
Sysop and User. Or between user and user if there is
more than one node and the interuser chat mode is
activated. Remember the first time a Sysop cut in on
you when you were a brand new user!!!! and you
FREAKED!!!!! just remember that when you cut in on
people as a Sysop! Heheheheh!!!!
