1> All uploads that can be zipped must be zipped (or self-extracting).
   .ZIP format is preferred, but other archive formats are accepted.

2> All archived files should not have anything in the archive not part
   of the program. Ie, I don't want to see any .ZIP files that have the
   file PKZIP.EXE inside. Partial credit will be removed if I have to go
   through the trouble of deleting extra files out of archives.

3> .GIF files may be uploaded, HOWEVER, I don't want any low quality .GIFs
   and when asked to enter in the file discription include the size before
   the text ie, (640x480x256) Picture Of Garfield.

4> I don't want any low quality games. Do not upload anything that runs so
   fast on anything better than a 8088 that you can't even see anything
   even with the Turbo button off.

5> Don't upload anymore text games, we already have enough of those.

6> Don't upload any programs that do not have standard function keys or
   proper instructions as to what the keys are for. I don't want to load
   up a program, hit every key on the keyboard, not find anything to exit
   and have to reboot the computer, that really pisses me off.

7> Before you upload any files, please do an 'S' (Filename) search and an
   'F' (Text description) search, or look in the proper directory to ensure
   that I don't already have the file.

8> Due to the almost total lack of voluntary uploads (ie. One new upload
   every 3 months), uploads are now required, you must maintain a U/D ratio
   of 0.100 as well as a post call ratio of 0.500. If you do not know what
   to upload, take a look at the File Request Door in the on-line game
   section.

9> If I find that someone has uploaded something I have specifically said
   not to I will remove double the file credits and hand out ass points.
