- [VSB] VBBS Support Boards
- ═════════════════════════
- The [VSB] is a key support group composed of experienced VBBS
- sysops you may count on to answer many of your questions about
- VBBS. These boards also serve as distribution sites for many
- of the essential VBBS utilities.
-
- The [VSB] group is continually growing and qualified sysops are
- invited to join. The purpose of the [VSB] is:
-
- 1) provide a channel for volunteers to officially participate in
- the VBBS organization;
- 2) provide better general VBBS support at the local sysop level;
- 3) provide a distribution system for the essential VBBS utilities
- to VBBS sysops;
- 4) provide volunteers who will actively upload the main VBBS
- program to other major BBSes in their area.
-
- Please note that the [VSB] is specifically for VBBS support.
- Virtualnet support is offered at the local level by the existing
- VirtualNET administration.
-
- The idea behind the [VSB] stems from the fact that we get a lot of
- hands extended by VBBS sysops who do want to help in some way, but
- see no 'official' way to participate and get more involved in VBBS
- administration. We hope that this fills that need.
-
- Below are some requirements for joining the [VSB] organization:
-
- 1. Be a registered VBBS sysop and have a missionary attitude
- toward VBBS;
- 2. Be VNet capable, and in operation for at least 90 days;
- 3. Possess more than an average willingness to help and
- have a good general understanding of VBBS and bbsing;
- 4. Be accessible. (24 hr BBS, DIRECTmail enabled, sysop
- downloads on first call, no ratios on these files)
- 5. Carry and make available the most current VBBS utilities
- as prescribed by the VSB Coordinator on the [VSB]
- Distribution Site menu;
- 6. Understand and be able to explain basic set-up procedures,
- basic VBBS scripting, etc., to new sysops;
- 7. Carry and participate in the VNET Technical Support Subs
- as prescribed by the VSB Coordinator and the secured
- [VSB] sub itself.
- 8. Be willing to FREQ the stipulated files and make the
- necessary connects in a timely manner when advised by
- the VSB Coordinator.
-
-
- If you feel you are qualified and are willing to dedicate some
- of your time to helping others, please contact the [VSB]
- Coordinator for more information:
