A lot of you are probably feeling the same I way am right at the
|
||
|
|
moment I am writing this file. I just got done applying for a nice board
|
||
|
|
and I simply went blank while filling out the New User Application! I
|
||
|
|
really hope I gain access, but I hate having to remember what is what
|
||
|
|
all the time. Besides, it's been almost a year since I have had to fill
|
||
|
|
out a REAL challenging application! So, I have forgotten probably 90% of
|
||
|
|
my acronyms! A shame really because if I could only remember what they
|
||
|
|
meant, I'm sure I could remeber what they were! That's why I made this file!
|
||
|
|
To help us all remember what is what! I'm sure tons of SysOp's are going to
|
||
|
|
come down on me for telling what the acronyms mean..but remember.. I am NOT
|
||
|
|
telling what they do, are used for, or anything of that nature. Just what
|
||
|
|
they STAND for! So, don't give me too hard of a time. This may help you
|
||
|
|
define better New User applications for your board to be more selective! I
|
||
|
|
will try to come out with updates as my time allows for this file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
My Disclaimer:
|
||
|
|
I don't know why I need one..but here it is..I take no resposiblity
|
||
|
|
for anything in this file, anything it's used for, or anyone that reads it!
|
||
|
|
I pretty much don't take responsibility for anything at ALL and I am beginning
|
||
|
|
to doubt that I exist. Oh well, on to the file!

Well, anyways, I guess that should get you started for a while, but
|
||
|
|
I should be coming out with acro02.txt very, very soon. {Probably like in
|
||
|
|
a day or so} Look for it and help me spread this around!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another note! Due to a hard drive crash, I lost ALL {I do mean ALL}
|
||
|
|
of my cool BBS numbers! If you run a cool BBS and would like to have me give
|
||
|
|
ya a ring send me up the number somewhere I am! Which is probably in the
|
||
|
|
606 or 513 area code..either that or on one of the few boards I did find
|
||
|
|
around on paper.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In closing, I would like to thank the following folks! Insanus
|
||
|
|
Maximus, Akira, Lestat, and Captain Blah. {<- My local Greets {hehe}} In the
|
||
|
|
far away lands from me, I would like to say 'Hi' to Starbuck {thanks for
|
||
|
|
saving my account!}, Digitone Cypher, and Night Ranger...as well as all the
|
||
|
|
other dudes in LoL/Phuck that are too many for me to mention right now!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
