Thank you for Downloading and showing interest in PervNet.

PervNet is a WWIVnet style net (if ya didn't guess.). The main purpose I

started PervNet was not because I am a sick minded guy (Well, not 100% of the

time anyways), but because of a couple of things:

1> I ran a Previous Net that was, shall we say, dead. And I wanted to give it

   another try.

2> A local Net out here in Riverside, CA had become something of a bore and the

   NC wasn't really all he is supposed to be, a NC :). I would love to go on

   about how he is a perfect example of why the NC position should be for

   anyone, but, hey, this is about PervNet, not his. <Will talk about it

   later.>



So, after a couple of E-mails from other SysOp's in the area, and a lot of

thought, here is PervNet on your HD. 

'Why is PervNet called PervNet and is it really all that Perverted?'

This net is called PervNet simply because all the other Good networks had

gotten the Cool names before me. Plus, the name catches a couple of looks (Ok,

you can laugh because it caught your attention also. :) ) But, This is no Joke

of a Net. Within 1 week of it's 'Launch', we were pressing packets of 15k and

higher (Did I forget to say they were Compressed?) every couple of hours. Now,

I dunno about you, But never have I seen or heard of a Network with only 4

systems setup, constantly push that much traffic in the 1st week. And that

amount of traffic, still, after 2 months of running, has ceased to slow to

anything under 80k a day. Now, I can't tell you, or promise you that if you

join, that you will get whoppers of Huge Packets, that really depends on what

you and your user's want to carry Sub wise on your system. But, I am going to

try and promise you that this is net will be a popular, and very Interesting

one to come around in a long time.


(Have I got you hooked yet? Hope so, because here comes some of the Guidelines

for the net. i.e. the boring stuff.)


PervNet GUIDELINES and REGULATIONS:

1>  All systems are required to carry at least 2 Subs. And one must be the

    SysOp Sub. This is Mainly Because a lot of the Information about the   

    Network, and event's that will take place with it are said in the SysOp

    Sub. So, it is a must for all Nodes.

2>  Please use good judgement when subscribing to certain subs. I mean, if you

    have a System that is mainly 17yrs and younger, don't be Subscribing to any

    Adult chat subs unless your are 18 or older. Not that I am dumb and Don't

    know that there are 13 yrs olds who can talk the filth better than most of

    us adults, it's just not a cool Idea to pull. Specially with the recent

    events occuring within Cyber Space. So please, take my advice and warning,

    Don't lie, and you won't die.

3>  This network is meant for the enjoyment of all. I nor the coordinator's of

    PervNet will stand for any sub geared at Discriminating anyone of any Race,
    Color, Cred, Nationality, Religion, or Sex. Any such creations appear, it

    will be dealt with severly and swiftly.


3a> Subs that are a Topic of User Flamming/Bashing are allowed on PervNet
    and again, we ask that you have descresion with them so as to not upset
    anyone else outside your system.

4>  File Transfering over the net is a cool and faster way for sysops to obtain

    need or wanted files. This is allowed on PervNet Pending on that the

    system(s) you are wanting to have this ability with agree to allow it, and

    that you have the proper software. A word of Caution though, if you are

    caught transfering any file(s) that aren't supposed to be distributed, your

    use of this network will be terminated, and the matter will be turned over 

    to the proper authorities. So, in otherwords, if it can't be identified by

    any of the 6 or 7 senses, then it never happened. But I still don't suggest

    it.

5>  {Brown Nose warning! Brown Nose warning!}
    Even though it isn't a requirement to be a reg'd SysOp with WWIV to be a  

    member of this net, it is highly smiled upon. The Authors of WWIV have Put

    many hours, and hard work into WWIV inorder for you to be able to use thier

    software. Please Support them when you can. And on a Darker note for a sec

    here. If you are running a Pirated WWIV source code of any version, you

    will be removed off this network and reported to the proper authorities.

   
  !!!All reg numbers will be checked and cleared with WWIV Software Services!!!

6>  Lastly, and most important, we want you to enjoy this net to the fullest,

    and help add to it's uniqueness. So you better have fun or else!!!!!! :)



OK WAKE UP!!!!! 

   Is it me, or is this starting to look like a Bonnie Dundee post??? ( Lil'
Joke for all the 909/818 Systems reading this. :) )

Ok, now that the above is outta they way, let's get you started. If this is

your 1st Network, please refer to the INSTALL.TXT that should be with this

packet. If not, you can either request for it when sending in your app. or

refer to the Network Technical Documentation. And asking another WWIV sysop

with experience is also a good and fast way to learn. As for you out there who

are familar in working with this style of Network, then why are you reading

this still? Go get going on that app and get it to me! :) If you have any

questions, or comments ( Heck, even Bad comments are welcomed. But please don't

be offended when we are laughing at them. :) ) please send them to me at the

following Network addresses:

1@1-PervNet
1@13-RiverNet
DOC@9925-IceNet



Thanks for the attention and will see you on the network!
