==================
Distribution Sites
==================
Each BBS that fills out an application will have an AVA file courier
sent out to upload all of the current supported releases.  All files
listed here in the FAQ will be available on -every- AVA Site.  Releases
removed from the official list can be moved off of the AVA directories and 
placed into the board's general MOD/S3M directory.  As soon as new files are
placed online at the AVA WHQ, the file couriers will update their assigned 
boards within a week.  Boards listed as primary sites are usually the first 
boards setup. 
 -+- Your board must have every single release supported by the AVA, all of
     which will be listed in the most recent FAQ.
 -+- Your board must be an AVA information center.  You must have the 
     latest gfiles/bulletins online to view through your BBS, and be prepared
     to answer any questions concerning the Audio Video Assembly or any of
     its works.
 -+- You MUST contact your area coordinator at least once a month to get the
     latest releases and updates, even if your BBS has an assigned file 
     courier.  You are responsible to have your board updated. 
 -+- Your board must be on an IBM compatible PC, and must offer high speed 
     communications (meaning 9600+ bps.)  Have at least 30 megabytes
     allocated for the AVA files.
 -+- The BBS has to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days 
     a year.
What the Dist. Site BBS Should Expect
=====================================
 -+- Your board will be mentioned in every AVA FAQ and monthly pack released 
     in the distribution site BBS list.
 -+- We will try to have a file courier keep an eye on your BBS and keep it
     updated, however, be sure to remember that updates are the
     sysop's responsiblity.
 -+- You get all of the AVA releases through official channels and receive
     direct files. 
 -+- Many sysops who have become distribution sites have reported good info.
     to the AVA WHQ that the quality of their BBS has improved drastically
     since they have become a site, and the same should be true of all those
     that apply.
