General Information, Terms of Agreement, and Application

systems. If you would like to join, please read the following information

Once you've completed it, you must rename it to <last_name>.APP. This is
to prevent it from being looked over or overwritten by another application.
Then upload it to The Gate BBS, (704-538-5116). Unless otherwise worked out,
LD charges will be the responsibility of the joining node. However, FileNet
makes this obsolete!

General Information
Advanced Communications Network (ACnet) has been a prominent WWIV network in
the Shelby/Charlotte area for several years. The way I, Eli Sanford, the
current network co-ordinator, understand it, it began with the sysop of The
Underground, currently known as Dragon Warrier. He then passed it along to
Clone1, who passed it to Lil' Abner of Dogpatch USA. When Lil' Abner
no longer was able to continue with ACnet, he asked Madam X of The Druid's Keep
then the NC of CowboyNet, to take ACnet and merge the two largest WWIV based
networks in Charlotte together. CowboyNet originated with The Byter, sysop
Carolina Cowboy, now known as Spacecow of The Cyber Farm. Once Madam X could
no longer handle the load, she passed ACnet on to Gate Keeper of The Gate BBS
Who ran Acnet for years. Then the tourch was pasted to Me Eli Sanford Of
Skulls & Crossbones. Acnet is the largest network in the Charlotte,
North Carolina area. I feel very priviledged to be given the
responsibility to continue the great efforts of all my predecessors, and
grateful for the support of all the sysops in the network. Together we make
ACnet what it is today!!!
=============================================================================
Terms of Agreement for Membership
All members of ACnet will support WWIV Services Inc. by registering the
software legally. Unregistered boards are allowed in the network, but
registration is encouraged. Registered sysops will agree to not distribute
the WWIV source code or mods to unregistered sysops, as this is illegal.
ACnet Boards will not enter fake registration numbers or use pirated source
code. If you suspect someone of doing this, it is your responsibility to
notify the NC of this so that I may investigate this possibility. Anyone
using a fake registration number will be asked to remove it. Anyone found
to be using pirated source code will be immediately removed from the network
and reported to WWIV Services. We paid for it, you should too!
Network Validation is supported and encouraged by the NC of ACnet. Sysops
may host whatever type of sub they wish, however, adult subs should be noted
as such in the description in //BE. Sub hosting is supported and encouraged
as well. I'm sure each sysop has some great ideas, and I would love 100%
of the boards in ACnet to host subs. Of course this isn't required, but it
would be nice :)
BBS Taglines should remain within a maximum of five lines. However, keep in
mind that many networks require a limit of three, so this is a good guideline
to follow if you belong to more networks than ACnet. I ask that you do
refrain from using profanity in your BBS taglines. Taglines should NOT be
ANSI codes!!! There are great programs out there to make taglines that look
like ansi, but consist of WWIV heart codes. Ansi taglines make your posts
unreadable as they scroll completely off the screen (no pauses).
No manual updates (via subs) will be used. You MUST be able to receive
automatic updates to be a member of ACnet.
At times, it may become necessary for me, the NC, to ask a sysop to turn on
network validation, restict a certain user from access to posting on ACnet,
or other unforseen events. ACnet sysops must be willing to agree by my
requests in the event that this becomes necessary.
ACnet does NOT support pirating, hacking, or phreaking of any manner! ACnet
sysops should NOT participate in the spreading of viruses, ansi bombs, or
any destructive programs, and should NOT make these programs available for
download, even if designated as such. Virus scanning of uploads is
encouraged.
ACnet sysops should respect the privacy of their users, and should especially
not use the priviledged information of user passwords to attempt to log onto
other boards using a users account. Sharing of user information, such as
real names, address and phone numbers is allowed in the event of a problem
user, but only with other ACnet sysops. However passwords should NOT be
shared even with other sysops. The sharing of ANY information about users
should NEVER be given out to anyone except in the afore mentioned situation
of sharing bad user info with other ACnet sysops in order to prevent problems
with ACnet or ACnet BBS's.
