HEY, SYSOPS!
|
|
|
|
Join the K-C0W PHORCE and run an Official cDc Global Domination Factory Direct
|
|
Outlet! Be a cheerleader for The cDc Way and get the files out! There is
|
|
nothing more noble you can do as a sysop than running a Factory Direct Outlet
|
|
(that doesn't involve crippled children.)! So jump on it and let's go!
|
|
|
|
What it is: K-C0W PHORCE is the group of sysops who run cDc Outlet boards.
|
|
It's not the same as cDc communications. cDc wants to make our files as widely
|
|
available as possible, so we started the Factory Direct Outlet (FDO) thing.
|
|
|
|
What FDO sysops should do: Make the cDc files available, old and new. Past
|
|
t-files are packed into ZIP archives in groups of 25, which currently range
|
|
from CDCV1.ZIP - CDCV9.ZIP (#1-225). New releases come in ZIP archives with
|
|
filenames like CDCx_93.ZIP, where "x" indicates the # of the release for the
|
|
year. For example, CDC493.ZIP would be the 4th release of 1993. All the files
|
|
need to be in a no-u/d-ratio directory for users to grab. It would probably be
|
|
good if you had the 25-file-ZIP-packs online instead of just individual files
|
|
for less hassle when downloading.
|
|
|
|
How to get the releases: The ZIP archives of old and new releases will be on
|
|
The Polka AE (806/794-4362, Entry:KILL) in Volume 2 first. Someone in cDc may
|
|
upload new releases to your board, but don't count on it. That's why sysops
|
|
should call The Polka AE once a month to check for new releases and download
|
|
the ZIP packs containing all the new files. The Polka AE is an easy and
|
|
hassle-free system, so calls should not take long.
|
|
|
|
Or, if you've got access to the Internet, you can get the files by FTP from
|
|
zero.cypher.com. This would be cheaper and faster, especially for non-US
|
|
people.
|
|
|
|
What do sysops get out of it?: First off, you'll get the satisfaction of
|
|
providing free information to people who want it. You also get a full-screen
|
|
ASCII BBS ad in all future cDc ZIP release packs which will go all over the
|
|
place. There's a message base on Demon Roach Underground BBS for FDO sysops
|
|
too.
|
|
|
|
How do you get involved?: Are you running a full-time, reliable board? Can you
|
|
set up a no-u/d-ratio file transfer area? Good deal. Call The Polka AE or
|
|
send Internet mail to S. Ratte and upload your full-screen ASCII BBS ad. No
|
|
cow heads or over-the-top cDc hype in the ad, please; leave that to the cDc
|
|
boards. A line about "cDc Global Domination Factory Direct Outlet - it's got
|
|
'em all" would be good, it's up to you. Either in the ad itself or in a
|
|
separate note, make sure to give your sysop handle for keeping-organized
|
|
purposes. NOTE: This is not the same as running a cDc board. To avoid
|
|
confusion, make sure you don't just say "cDc comm." in your ads on on the
|
|
board... or when signing your handle or anything like that. Like it says
|
|
above, stick with the "Global Domination Factory Direct Outlet" and everybody
|
|
will be happy.
|
|
|
|
That's it! From then on it's up to you, The Responsible Sysop, to keep up with
|
|
new cDc releases and their propagation in your area. Spread the word, get
|
|
everyone involved, and let's go go go!
