    Hey Y'all..

    Just a one time post to hopefully bring more bbs callers to our hobby.

    Doc's Place BBS has been online since 1991 and was one of the first internet bbses when dial up bbses were going offline.

    http://www.was-ist-fido.de/doks/fnews/fido1733.txt

    A post similar to this one back in 2000 revived a dead board, and I'm hoping
    to attract new callers.

    We offer the complete Fidonet backbone. Access Doc's Place BBS by the web at bbs.docsplace.org or via Telnet on port 26.

    We also offer QWK via web browser. Just set your web qwk areas and download
    the generated packet. Uploading your rep packet works the same way.

    Check us out when ya get a chance.. :)

    Don't Shoot.. I'm only the messenger!!

    really, dude? a one time post to every echo carried on the backbone?? :SIGH:

    effectively 200 or so duplicates that aren't dupes since they are in different echos...

    i think you missed like maybe 10 others but still :( :( :( :( :( :(

    i'm not going to waste my time throwing a moderator message at you in each of the 30 or so echos i moderate that are carried on the backbone... this one will

    serve to cover all of them... i'm guessing you have your asbestos panties on??

    While I am all about promoting BBSing... the topic of this echo is the 10th Amendment / States Rights.

    If everyone took a mass bombing run on every echo with their "BBS PROMOTION" what little order we have left will degrade into Chaos. As the moderator of this (Slow) echo I know we need traffic, but there are areas to advertis BBSing in.

    I admire your passion though... you never have fell short on that.
