   This is a PUBLIC Conference which is available to all DoRENET Sysops.
   It is used for the discussion of BBS news and BBS adds for DoRENET Nodes.

1.  This echo should be flagged as normal.

2.  Leave the moderating to the moderator.  Even if you don't seem to
    see any response from the moderator in the echo, it could have been,
    and most likely was handled by netmail.

3.  The moderator decides what is off topic and what is on topic, if you
    do not agree, you may discuss it in netmail or E-Mail.

    These are easily followed by remembering the two FidoNet Policy
    rules (adopted for use with DoRENeT):
         1) Thou shalt not excessively annoy others.
         2) Thou shalt not be too easily annoyed.

4.  No bashing the author, the software or others dealing with this software.

5.  This base is ENGLISH only.

6.  Adds can be ansi, pipe or ascii

 The primary purpose of this echo is to advertise your Bulletin Board. 
 Products or services other than a BBS may be mentioned - ONLY -
 when PROMOTION of the BBS is the primary focus of that advertisement.
 Other advertising, software or hardware, etc is off topic. Network
 advertising is acceptable.

 You may use ANSI, Graphics and ASCII for maximum effect in TEXT area
 only.   "@" codes or substitutes like ' for Ansi <ESC> and RIP are not
 allowed. 
 ADS are copyrighted by the author, use them ONLY with permission.

 Focus ads on what is UNIQUE about your BBS' for maxumum interest...
 If your BBS is the same as all others, why should users call long
 distance? 
 UNLESS your ads are - DISTINCTLY - DIFFERENT, post only two per week.
 Boring or repititious ads, will not stimulate more calls.

 MOTIVATE people to CALL with a - UNIQUE - ADV - but make the BBS
 Unique so they will call back, again, and again!

 If your language is legal, clean and friendly you are welcome here.
 It is your -responsibility- to know the rules in echo's before
 writing. When you violate echo rules, the consequences are also your
 responsibility. 
 When posting ansi in a message area, please follow this simple advice.
                ┌──
Don't use column│ This is because the use of column 80 
80 Drawing ANSi─┤ in an ansi screen will cause some terminal programs to
                │ screen wrap.
                └──


                ┌──
                │ Set your "max line length" to 78 when saving your ansi. Saving
ANSi    ─┤ This is because when you post ANSi, if the line length
                │ is too long, it will get hacked up when tossing out.
                └──
                ┌──
                │ Make sure you are using a line editor, NOT full screen
                │ editor when posting your ansi.
Posting ANSi ├──┤ This is because full screen editors filter out ansi
                │ escape codes when uploading ansi, Full screen editors
                │ use them internally.
                └──

─┤ This base is ENGLISH Only.
