- As the sysop of a BBS, surely have noticed that users almost NEVER
- bother reading welcome/news bulletins. As soon as the little
- "More y/n/=" prompt appears they skip the entire bulletin and as a
- sysop you have wasted your time posting the bulletin and the user
- misses out on some important information. After a little research
- into why users never read bulletins I discovered that they usually
- only want to read it once, and that they get accustomed to just
- aborting them. NewsFlash will attempt to overcome this problem.
- What NewsFlash does is only force the user to read the bulletin once.
- Since they only have to read it once, user's will tend to stop and
- read the bulletin carefully.
-
- Why is NewsFlash v1.00 worth running?
