+ | ====== About fsxNet ====== | ||
+ | fsxNet is a fun, simple and experimental network that uses Fido Technology Networking to communicate between connected Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Established in 2015, the network uses ZONE 21 and there are five NETs with each NET being served by a HUB. | ||
+ | |||
+ | fsxNet is not a perscriptive network. e[X]perimentation is at heart of its name and members are actively encouraged to be creative in their use of the network. A limited number of message areas and file bases are used - setup is quick and [S]imple. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Technologies covered by the network include (but are not limited to) BBSing, ANSI art, Amateur (HAM) Radio, Retro / Vintage Computers & Gaming, FTN communications, | ||
+ | |||
+ | fsxNet sees a number of messages posted to it every week. It is an active support network for several developers of BBS software spanning BBS systems, door games and more. | ||
+ | |||
+ | fsxNet is not an invite-only closed network, rather it is an open community and everyone who wishes to join is welcome. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Do you find it [F]un to learn about and use retro computing technologies? | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Goals ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Develop and encourage international communications between 100 (or more) geographically diverse bulletin board system operators (members) and their users in order to: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * Raise awareness of BBS as a hobby and communications option for the 21st century | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Values ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Have fun! | ||
+ | * Keep it simple | ||
+ | * Be kind, respectful and helpful | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Housekeeping ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Members of fsxNet and their users to conduct themselves with the above goals and values in mind. Failure to do so risks being de-listed and/or removed by the Network Coordinator | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Please don’t post echomail to fsxNet about country politics or religion. These subjects inevitably seem to cause discord and are best left for discussion on other message networks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The use of the fsxNet for illegal purposes is not permitted. Members or users deemed to be engaged in such activities will be de-listed and/or removed by the Network Coordinator | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Members real names are used in the nodelist, members and users’ aliases or real names are welcome in all echoareas | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Messages containing ANSI should use a [ANSI] prefix in the message subject line. This allows members who can’t view ANSI content to opt out reading it if they are unable to do so. e.g. Subject: [ANSI] Something I drew last night | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Please do not gate fsxNet traffic to other FTN/QWK networks, Usenet, or any other network without first discussing your request in FSX_GEN and obtaining approval from the Zone 21 ZC. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Members will be de-listed from the network if their BBS/system has packets/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | * If you decide to leave fsxNet please delink your BBS/system from all echomail and file areas before you depart. This ensures packets/ | ||
