"And Here's The Facts............"


Man.... Did I get bored reading the same ole' serious echos over and over 
again. I mean, they're informative and all, but too many rules, I was almost
scared to post in an echomail area for fear of having a SysOp get pissed off
at me and remove me from his system... I noticed, after calling some "non-echo"
boards across the country, that there were ALOT of SysOps out there with a
decent sense of humor and could relax and just bullshit with the users in the 
mail areas. It got to the point where I was calling long distance and going 
through the message areas like once a week and posting close to 60 messages on 
each board. You can imagine how costly that could be. So I thought to myself,
"There's got to be an easier way to reach all the new friends I've made and 
not have to spend so much money." Sooooo.... The Slimer, The Wizard, and Myself
thought "Why not make our own network and not have so many rules?". So we did
and here it is.... ChAoSnet!


Basically this net is similar in structure to Fido-Net, BUT, ChAoSnet
(us being the fun loving people we are) has "non-serious echos". What I 
mean by "non-serious" is, you can post WHATEVER you want in these echos 
within reason... I mean, we don't really wanna get shutdown due to illegal
reasons. If we get shut down, we want it to be for perversity. Heh!

The only rules we need are the following:

1) No talking about PIRATING, HACKING, PHEAKING, or ANYTHING in that context.
   it only causes problems and we DO NOT promote that.

2) The SysOp of the board the echo is carried on MUST be responsible enough
   to recognise a problem in their echo and deal with it. We are not dealing
   with YOUR problems, we are trying to make a FUN network.

3) "BORINGNET" (AHEM) topics are NOT to be discussed in the non-serious echos.
   This defeats the whole damn purpose behind what we are doing. We will have 
   help echos, but the non-serious echos are for "fun and games", please keep
   them that way.

4) This network, in NO WAY, is going to support long-distance quarreling as 
   this is the quickest way to ruin an echo. Not to mention the fact that no
   one wants to hear people argue. If you must fight, GO JOIN THE ARMY!


	Do you believe it? Those are all the rules... THAT'S IT! Handles are
allowed, cussing, bullshitting, sexual references, you may say "BIG HARD DISK" 
without fear of being removed from the echo (you may end up with a shitload of
smartass responses tho....). So hopefully, with good SysOp support on the hubs,
we should have a good thing going here.

	
	Some echos we will be supporting:

1) Renegade Support Echo - For Renegade Support, Not Complaints.
2) National SysOp Underground - For SysOps Only To Band Together And Discuss
	Topics On A National Level (ALL SYSOP ARE ALLOWED REGARDLESS OF THE
	SOFTWARE THEY ARE RUNNING).
3) DesQview Support - Again, Support - Not Bitching!
4) Bullshit Echos - There Are Echos For Just Basic Bullshitting And Sexually
	Harassing The Entire Network!

	Any other ideas (seeing as how this is a relativly new network) can be
sent to the SysOp of board carrying the network to review the idea, at that 
point, it's up to him\her to decide if the idea is one that could or should be
included in the network. At that point, please submit this idea in the National
SysOp Underground Echo and it will be reviewed by The Slimer or Slammin' for 
implementation into the network. Hey, what can I say? We're open minded folks!





What it takes to join into ChAoSnet is rather simple.  Once you have
decided to carry the network, all you have to do is send Net Mail to
your nearest Hub or you can go straight to the top and send to ChAoSnet
HeadQuarters (we're not picky - snicker).

In there include your;
1)Handle          
2)Exact BBS Name
3)Real Name 
4)Modem speed (i.e. HST,V32b,V42b,MNP, or 2400)
5)City, State
6)Voice Phone #
7)BBS Phone #
8)Preference for a 3 digit Node Number (i.e. 1:???/000, you can select the 000)
9)And The Best Thing You Can Think Up That Will Give Us A Good Laugh!

In a few days, we will net you your node number and information on what to
do next!  On the following Friday, you will be included in the Nodelist
(called CASLIST.###) and you'll be cruisin'!!!

The Guidelines are rather easy.  You must have a ChAoSnet compatible Front
End up and running (i.e FrontDoor, D'Brigde, Binkey... you know) have your
modem answering the phone 24 hours a day (in other words, NO part time BBS's),
and have had the board up and running for the last 90 days.  This isn't to
exclude anyone, it's just to insure the quality of the Net.  Lastly, you must
agree to be responsible for the people you allow post (See The Above Rules).  


C'Mon Have Some Fun, Join ChAoSnet!!!!!!!!!!!
