               Community Relations For Computer Bulletin Boards

              (Fort Smith, AR)--  Software Piracy, Computer Viruses, 
         Pedophilia.  Those are just a few of the items contributing 
         to the image problems of Computer Bulletin Board Sysops and 
         Users.

              The majority of Sysops and Users do not engage in 
         illicit activities.  The general public, though, usually gets 
         a distorted view of BBSs because of the poor behavior of 
         those who do.

              BBSs are on the leading edge of the Information Age, but 
         they are falling behind in getting the word out.  Aphelion 
         Promotions of Fort Smith, Arkansas can assist Sysops in their 
         community relations efforts.

              Services range from customized News Releases for use by 
         local media outlets to Damage Control of serious image 
         problems.  Because of the limited budgets of many BBSs, 
         Aphelion Promotions has priced its services at a very 
         reasonable level.

              Aphelion Promotions has also released The Computer 
         Bulletin Board Guide to Public Relations.  BBS-PR15.ZIP is 
         available at no charge, and can be downloaded from Paradox of 
         Arkansas BBS at 501 484 0944 or 501 484 1043.

              The President of Aphelion Promotions, Robert Parson, is 
         a Broadcast Journalist and an active participant in his local 
         BBS community.  For more information call 501 646 9332
