"I'd really like to get some message areas started, but I just can't seem to get anything rolling." Solution: The MLPNET. The NASA MLP is a progressive, successful BBS in Port Orchard, WA that specializes in educational material. Conferences and file areas range from aviation to Seismology to Music to Star Trek to Meteorology to anthropology, biology, Rush Limbaugh and more! Believe it or not, my callers are MORE interested in my message bases than they are my file directories, all 176 of them. I'd like to share these successful message areas with you and with your callers. The MLPNET is starting up, and I encourage you to come aboard. The first customer was in Jacksonville, Florida (The Partex BBS - 904-766-6801) 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 �  RULES  � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 There are none...that is the beauty of it. I ask that you carry the Sysop Conference and restrict it to Sysops, but that's it. Of course, there are the standard rules regarding foul language, flaming, etc. I've seen NETS with pages and pages of agreements and rules. The only thing you have to agree to to use MLPNET is that normal BBS rules of ettiquette are followed. That's it. :) 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 �  WHAT DO *YOU* GET OUT OF THE MLPNET  � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 You get premade, existing message bases that are thriving. Well, most of them are. You know how that goes...up and down. You get the Nationally Famous MLP Hammster Conference...(more on that later.) You get a monthly newsletter (I've enclosed the most current one with this package) and you get to interact with the wonderful people of Port Orchard, WA You also have higher access on my system. :) In May, 1993 4,071 messages were left on my system outside of the other NETS. This month (June) nearly 5,000 in 20 days! These are LOCAL messages, not long distance or NET. As you can see, things are hopping here. :) YOU WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO BOAST the latest news DIRECT from NASA if you carry the MLPNET NASA CONFERENCE. And, if you carry MLPNET SEISMOLOGY, you will have the LATEST news on ANY EARTHQUAKE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! The NASA MLP BBS checks several times a day with the USGS (United States Geological Survey) to get the latest news on world seismicity!!! 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 �  WHAT MLPNET IS *NOT*  � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 * MLPNET is NOT huge. Your downloads and uploads will take very little time. MLPNET is very personal and not lost and entangled within itself due to size. * MLPNET is NOT available within the 206 area code (local to this BBS only) For example, Seattle is long distance from here, so it would be available there. * MLPNET is NOT an adult NET. There is no Adult area within the NET. * MLPNET is NOT complete yet! As the Network grows, new areas will be added. This is part of the process of growing, and I ask that you be patient with it. :) 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 �  CONFERENCE LIST  � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 These are the starting conference areas. I will add more as people request them and I see a potential for them. There will be more science/educational areas added if people are interested in them. I carry the SciFacNet as well; that is the reason for the "holes" in the conference numbers. (I know that Hammster is not spelled correctly...that is intentional!) I'm still talking with Bruce N. Baker, but you will probably be able to network the SciFacNet from this system as well. That is still being set up. UPDATE!!! You may now echo the SciFacNet from The NASA MLP as well! 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 �  HAMMSTER!!!  � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 THE NASA MLP PROUDLY PRESENTS: � � 靈컴컴� 靈켠컴� 靈켠컴� 靈컴컴� 靈켠컴� 爐컴컴� 爐컴컴� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 聃컴컴� � 懃컴컴� � 좔 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 爐컴컴� 컴爐� � 爐컴컴� 靈컴컴� �1> Hammster Self Help � Am Looking for a SubSysop for this area!!! �2> Religious Hammster � 픔� � � 픔� 聃컴컴� �3> Hammster Utilities � � � � � � � � � 컴懃� 懃컴컴� 懃컴컴� 聃컴컴� 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 �袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � PLEASE upload good quality hammster files at your convenience! � 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴暠 I started the Hammster Conference about a half year ago. I wanted somewhere where callers could go and just get goofy and let it all hang out. The Electronic Hammster conference was born. Since then, it has become ENORMOUSLY popular. I have many long distance callers who call to upload .REP packets into the Hammster area. I have enclosed some sample messages from that area...(Yes, I am trying to sell you the HAMMSTER Conference) If you have a weak stomach, you may want to skip the next part. �*1) NASA *17) PARENTING >33) ASTRONOMY >49) SCIMAT � �*2) HAMMSTER *18) PARANORMAL >34) HERPETOLOGY>50) C&MORE � �*3) RUSH *19) FOOD/HEALTH >35) COGNITIVE >51) APEBS � �*4) WRITERS *20) ARTS >36) TECHTALK >52) CONTROLS � �*5) CHIT CHAT *21) MONTY PYTHON >37) HAMRADIO >53) ELECENG � �*6) SEISMOLOGY *22) BBSADS >38) BIOLOGY >54) ENVIRENG � �*7) WANT ADS *23) COMPUTER >39) CHEMISTRY >55) MATH � �*8) FISHING *24) MUSIC >40) HISTORY >56) SCIENCE PROG � �*9) BIGFOOT *25) STARTREK >41) JOB BASE >57) MEDICAL � �*10) SUMMERTIME *26) SYSOP >42) MECHENG >58) PHILOSOPHY � �*11) METEOROLOGY 27) SCIFACNET >43) CIVILENG >59) NATIONAL NASA � �*12) RPG *28) CO-CO USER GROUP>44) HPUSERS >60) H20COOLER � �*13) DEBATE >29) PRIVATE EMAIL >45) MATCHAT >61) GENERAL SCI � �*14) RELIGION *30) DSNEWS >46) PHYSICS >62) GEOLOGY � �*15) LAW ENFORCE*31) MODELS/TRAINS >47) QUANTUM >63) SCISTUDENT � �*16) EDUCATION 32) NOT IN USE >48) SAFETY � � * MLPNET RED=NOT IN USE > SCIFACNET � ***SAMPLE MESSAGES FROM THE NASAMLP HAMMSTER CONF*** 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Sometimes, we can take ourselves too seriously.

Got extra locks on the doors and windows this time, but don't none of you tell 'em. I'M OUTA HAMMSTERS!! It's been hours since the last one and I gotta get another one SOON! You got a spare? Some spindly little runt that you couldn't bring yourself to eat? I aint picky, maybe just a side, or even a hind quarter. Some extraneous little parts, your know, like little Hammster chittlin's or something. Gotta get one soon. Uh oh, here we go again. Starts slow, maybe just thinknig I see one here and there. Start to pick one up and it disaPpears. Then I start to see more and more of them. On the sofa, under the 'puter, peeking out from behind the monitor. Jeez, now they're everywhere!

It pities me to see the starving children in Somalia...I can read into their eyes.

To: ALL From: ANDY HARGROVE Subj: HAMMSTER RECIPES Read: (N/A) Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE (Echo) Conf: HAMMSTER (8) Read Type: GENERAL (-) HAS REPLIES Just wanted to share one of my favorite recipes for Hammster. It's called Stuffed Hammsters. Take two Hammsters (per person, three if you use the Red Rock Dwarf bred variety). Remove the fur (using your own favorite method, it doesn't really matter how, as long as its off.). Split them lengthwise almost completely through and set aside. Prepare you favorite stuffing as you would for, say, Thanksgiving. I like the traditional Southern conrbread stuffing myself. After the stuffing is ready, plop some on the open Hammster, until one half is covered. Flip the other half back over on top of the other. Continue until all the Hammsters are stuffed. Place in a baking dish. Pour Cream of Mushroom Soup over them until they're all coated. Cover dish with foil and place into an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. At the twenty minute mark, remove and baste with drippings. Return to the oven for another 20 minutes. After the last twenty minutes, remove from overn and let stand for 5 minutes. Then serve with a nice side dish of brocolli (or whatever you like). VERY TASTY. Anyone else out there with a favorite recipe. I'm thinkig of writing a book on preparing Hammster and could use the thoughts. It doesn't matter what nationality, Italian, French, Spanish, Japanese, whatever.... Thanks. May post a recipte for Hammster Cobbler.

SHAVE THE HAIR OFF OF THEM??? ARE YOU NUTS???? You know how long that takes??? I just burn the hair off with a cigarette lighter. And no, when you do that, they just go SPLAT! You need to leave the hair on.
