The valet takes your car keys and rolls your new car away. You enter the
|
||
large building and walk to the elevators. They arrive and you board these
|
||
chrome and glass beauties. The building has eighty-five floors and while
|
||
most people go to an obnoxious bar on the top floor, you know better. Since
|
||
you are alone in the elevator, you move your hand above the top row of
|
||
buttons and place your fingers just an inch above the "85". You hear an
|
||
audible signal that your body heat has been detected over the hidden
|
||
mechanism. You wait as the elevator motionlessly and noiselessly rises.
|
||
After a minute, another soft tone signals your arrival on the building's top.
|
||
The doors open, you walk a few feet, and stand in front of a burgundy,
|
||
featureless wall. An alphanumeric keypad rotates from the wall as a voice
|
||
from nowhere in particular says...

I would like to let everyone know that our 100,000th caller was
|
||
|
||
Corgi's Mom

|
||
|
||
I was away on vacation and did not get any contest up for the 100,000th caller
|
||
but I think we should at least congradulate her for being # 100,000. Not too
|
||
often do you see a board reach that many calls.
|
||
|
||
|
||
On another subject, some of you may have noticed that there is a board
|
||
in town called TURD that has been causing some porblems. It seems they have
|
||
even gone as far as to use our own logon message in a different format for
|
||
their own board. They do not like our standards here on Rooftop Hide-Away and
|
||
have made their feelings known publicly. I would just like to let everyone know
|
||
that we here on Rooftop will not tolerate and kind of threats for actions taken
|
||
on this board by myself or any Asst. Sysop. I will add the rules of this system
|
||
at the end of this posting and I suggest that everyone read them.
|
||
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
There are a few rules that I would like all of you to abide by.
|
||
|
||
1: I do not allow bad language on this system. I have 2 kids and they are
|
||
both interested in the computer so keep the language acceptable.
|
||
|
||
2: I do not want any messages posted on the public boards pertaining to any-
|
||
thing illegal. What goes on in E-Mail is your bussiness. I will not be
|
||
held responsible for something a users posts on this board.
|
||
|
||
3: User fights are not allowed on the public boards. Anyone abusing another
|
||
user on the public boards will recieve one warning and loose some of his
|
||
privilages on the board.
|
||
|
||
4: Anyone found to have more than 1 password without a good reason will loose
|
||
all access to this system. Anyone needing 2 passwords needs to talk to me
|
||
and I will decide if it is a good reason.
|
||
|
||
This system has a lot of potential. We are averaging over 3000 calls and
|
||
2000 messages a month. There have been up to 400 validated users and everyone
|
||
to far has been doing a very good job. Remember that it takes both you and I to
|
||
make this a great board.
|
||
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Rooftop is here for anyone to call and use anytime day or night. We do
|
||
have rules here that require you to post messages to gain access to the online
|
||
games and chat hall. We do not tolerate user abuse or foul language. After
|
||
that, it is easy. If you cannot live with these rules, then take this number
|
||
off your dialing list and start calling a board that fits the desires you have
|
||
that cannot be maintained on this board. Remember, you called us, we did not
|
||
call you.......
