pack xi - november 1995
notes
welcome to the largest ls-notes file ever. hopefully this wont happen again.
several large changes for leper society this month. first of all the
world hq immersion technologies is down for an unknowable period of time.
i have yet to find a suitable replacement but im working on it. in the
meantime, if you want to contact leper society your best bet is either
through the internet or on the palace of omniscience if you absolutly cant
get ahold of an i-net connection.
second of all, we have lost two members: deetchman a founding member and
malachi. i also took psichosonic off of the vga listing as he has never
produced anything vga for leper society. this left me as the final vga
artist and i havent done any vga since the second pack. so i was going
to take myself off too, but then inspiration hit and i did the vga logo
for jive-ass records. no, i did not plan this.
we gained several members in the ansi department: rival, the punisher,
and stygian. genocyber does ansi and vga. keep it up, guys.
i will soon be moving, and it may affect how quickly your email is answered.
if you know of a good, free-or-very-cheap internet provider in pittsburgh
please contact me. if you run a bbs local to downtown pittsburgh dont
hesitate to mail me about it. the move should not affect leper society very
much. i will contact all sysops and members via email or calls as soon as i
possibly can after i have moved.
the rest of this file is new info for distribution sites.
i recently shelled out a lot of dough for a phone line of my own.
i celebrated my new phone line by calling all of the ls distribution sites
long distance from me. here are the results:
alpha studio 1 busy
aneurysm answering machine
delusions rings
infinite confusion voice
inner tube line being checked for trouble
rogashian empire rings
this is where i tell you that these boards are no longer ls boards - just
in case any of them should ever deign to go back up again.
here is a list of new rules that all new distribution sites will be required to
follow. please note that these are not guidelines, they are very inflexible
and hardass rules. sysops will do these things or they will no longer be
leper society distribution sites. these rules do not apply to headquarter
boards yet, existing distribution sites or member boards.
1. sysops are required to give me a report during the last seven days of each
month. this is a list of the questions that need to be answered in as
complete a form as possible on the report:
a. how many days was the board up this month?
b. how many calls did it have?
c. what is the total download count of each leper society pack?
2. sysops who are not running bbs software which allows the keeping of such
records will be given one month in order to work out the figures
themselves from what the bbs does tell them.
3. if the sysop will not be able to get their report to me at the end of the
month due to having a life, they are responsible for getting it to me
before they go down to spend a week with poor terminally ill aunt martha.
its called planning ahead and its an essential skill if you want to op
a distro site for ls.
4. the report is required to be mailed to me on the internet. thus,
only sysops with internet accounts will be accepted. eventually exceptions
will be made for those wishing to call long distance to deliver their
reports. but since the world hq is currently down we cant offer this.
dont like it? please call 616657-2524 and complain to the answering
machine that has replaced the whq. be sure to leave your board name and
number so that we can get back to you when we finally get things sorted
out.
5. the .plan message at the sysops email address is required to have
leper society or ls in it at all times so that i can check account
validity via finger. all changes of address are to be mailed to me. only
accounts capable of having a .plan file available for access at all times
are acceptable.
6. sysops are required to report to me if their board is down for more than 3
days. sysops need to state the problem in this note as well as when they
expect to be able to put the board back up. after the board has been
fixed a similar mail is required, telling me so.
if you think you can hang with these requirements then fill out the
application generator using catagory other. as before, we will only
be accepting distro sites when i feel like it based on entirly arbitrary
things which may or may not include but not be limited to:
* what kind of mood im in
* if i like the name of the board
* correct spelling
* and maby even the boards statistics
