- WHAT IS SEEKNET?
-
- SeekNet is a NEW Echo mail Network That was Created to fill the need
- for a QUALITY, Professionally run, User/Sysop Friendly Mail System,
- without all the Cumbersome Rules and Application procedures of some of
- the others. Let's face it, there are some Quality Echo Mail Systems out
- there, but few which make Users feel at home, and even less that are easily
- obtainable by the average Sysop. Others lack the professionalism and quality
- that Sysops rightfully expect. We don't think that this to much to ask, and
- that is why SeekNet was formed. Our goal is simple. Give the Sysop a QUALITY
- echomail Network that will not rule his BBS, but compliment it. We think that
- we have succeeded in doing this. Our conferences are Interesting and Inform-
- ational, but they are friendly as well. That is a hard combination to find,
- which is probably why we are one of the fastest growing, and most popular
- Nets to come along. The ever popular "Shareware Review" is echoed in full,
- and It's Author, David Johnson, Host of the Files & Utils conference, is
- ready to answer any questions on it.
- This Network can handle either .Qwk or Fido type mail transfers.
- If you are using the .Qwk format, any mail Tosser like Tnet, Rnet,
- or Qnet will be able to Import mail into your message area. We already
- have wide participation with over 100 active nodes, and currently over
- 50 conferences. We will add additional conferences as needed.
- The File NETCONF.LST Contains descriptions of all our Conferences.
- If you run a Wildcat! BBS, The SEEKERS.CFG, (included) is The configuration
- to use for The Seeker's Place. It is complete with Our conference numbers.
- You can use any text editor to add your conference numbers and tagline,
- and use this .cfg file for your setup. Make sure that you leave the SeekNet
- portion of the tagline intact! Change the Upload/Download path to reflect
- your comm. program, and you are all set. If you are running with any other
- BBS software, consult the docs for proper setups and files.
- We have included some very nice screens and bulletins to introduce
- your callers to the Network, should you decide to be a part of SeekNet!
- You can customize them with your own Info and NODE/HUB ID: Number.
- Making mail runs to The Seeker's place should be Quick and Easy.
- All modems are High speed and with the "!" Option Placed before your
- Network Name, you can go Directly to the Mail door without ever seeing The
- BBS. This is Great for auto mail runs. saves Time, and Time is Money.
- Node one is HST, and nodes two and three are Dual Standard. There is also
- Information, as well as script files available on the BBS for sysops new
- to Echo mail, to help them get setup with Seeknet. Prescans are available
- upon request.
-
-
- RULES & GUIDELINES!
- Any Network worth It's salt has Rules and we are no exception. We
- are trying to keep the rules to Simple Common Sense ones. We want the Net
- to be Interesting, Informational and fun, but not Burdensome.
- Conferences are Topic Specific, but we will allow for deviation.
- For example; If someone is Talking Lan systems, in a Lan conference, and a
- user reponds that he has such a system and will sell it for x amount of
- Dollars. This is not an infraction of the rules (Since it "is" Topic
- specific). He will NOT have to go to The "For sale" conference and post.
- This does not however mean that Users can fill the conference with sales
- pitches or ads. It is permitted "ONLY" in the course of the conversation.
- Our conferences do have moderators. Anyone wishing to Moderate a
- unmoderated conference, (Moderators are listed in Netconf.lst) should
- contact the network aministrator with their request.
- Since This Network is for all, and accessible by all, we do Require
- that the language be kept in a "PG" rated mode.
- All Net sysops are "REQUIRED" to carry the Net administration
- conference. It is for Net sysops Chat, exchange of ideas, and/or questions,
- suggestions for the Net. This conference "MUST" be "PRIVATE" and accessible
- only by you and your co-Sysop/s. Please read "ALL" Mail in the Net
- administrative conference since it is where notices of changes, additions,
- Policy or suggestions will be posted. General Sysop chat pertaining to
- anything other than the Net should be posted in the Sysops conference.
- There will be no Verbal assults on Individuals or Flaming allowed on
- the net.
- We Don't require, but we do request that nodes carry at least 6
- SeekNet conferences.
- Aliases or handles are "NOT" Permitted on the Network (Except in a
- case where an Alias conference has been added to the Net).
- No illegal acts of "ANY" kind will be permitted on The Net.
- Sysops should try and keep quoted text im messages from their boards
- down to a maximum of 7 lines. There will be exceptions, but as a rule 5 or
- 6 lines is enough for anyone to quote in replys. Replying to multiple
- quotes is acceptable.
- Any Dispute that may arise between nodes or hubs will NOT be handled
- in public conferences but will be resolved by the two disputing parties
- and The SeekNet administrator, whose decisions are Final!
- Any Net Sysop knowing of anyone who wants to host/Moderate a
- conference and is qualified should contact the SeekNet administrator.
