The responsibility for changed or disconnected numbers lies with the names associated with numbers. Unlike other lists that use automated doors to enter and verify bbs numbers, we too have used such programs and found them to allow non-bbs numbers to be added to the list. They also remove a working bbs from the list if the auto-verifier happens to call when your bbs is down for system maintenence or other reasons. At DFW.ZIP we have used such an automated feature in years past, now we find that we retain more accuracy by personally checking list entries for bogus numbers and down systems. Don't be fooled by overhyped bbs doors which produce inaccuracies in the bbs list they generate. ------------------------ BUM STEER AWARDS ------------------------------- April 1996 Number One to Stan Abercrombie - aka "The Bandit". This person is well-known to menace people "voice" PARTICULARLY females, whom he will harrass at all hours once he weasles a phone number from them. He has been repeatedly reported to phone companies time and time again, but always seems to reappear with or without running his own BBS. A genuine problem-causer to BBS Land since the mid-80's; anyone who has come into contact with him will have personal horror stories. Avoid him. Number Two to Texas Metronet - the Internet provider. Do not own a computer to run their husband/wife business from; they leech off of the local University mainframe (like the FREE lonestar.org) but THEY CHARGE people for it. Act like customer service is a god given favor which they should be paid extra for. Wife/Accounting department keeps track of customer service questions as if she should charge customers for each. Technical support is nominally okay until accounting hears about it. Number Three to local FIDO politics. In D/FW it seems customary to have a mandatory change of hub sites every couple of months. This does not include the regular "elections" where the same group of cheerleaders take turns electing each other local beauty queen. A very good network with an abundance of local "characters" Number Four goes to the ba-jillions of folks who believe all the hype that they are going to be able to make instant millions running a business on the Internet, even though they have never dialed a modem or contacted a single BBS in their life. After time and effort these Hungry Hippos find out they have a very expensive paperweight on their desks and that most 12 year old sysops run a better online service than the "business" folks could ever pull off, Internet or no. Number Five goes to Incredible Universe and CompUSA. Both treat you with swarming staff (3-5 tee-shirted employeees per customer) who will ALWAYS tell you ANYTHING to make a sale. Examples: "Of COURSE hard drive space and RAM memory are the same thing. Especially under Windows!" or "Yes sir this 2400 modem is just as good as the expensive ones!" or "Just go home and plug in this modem and you are on the Internet!" or "Yes, your SVGA monitor NEEDS this whole wall of Screen Savers". Ask them to show you ANY VGA monitor that has had an image burned into the screen from not using screen savers. ---------------- "But Hey, I Could Be Wrong!" - Dennis Miller ------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many other bbs's and tabloids (who rename and move frequently for some reason) tend to "borrow" the contents of this bbs list for publication under different names. While imitation is the highest form of flattery, SECOND SANCTUM's bbs list has remained the most accurate, and most used bbs list in Texas for two simple reasons: 1) This is the oldest continuous bbs list in the state of Texas and has been consistently updated with regularity since 1982. It is completely "BY all D/FW Sysops, FOR all D/FW Sysops" who personally contribute all the information found in the list. 2) It has always been, and always will be -- 100% FREE -- and easily distributed. The copycats want you to PAY for your submission of info about your bbs. DFW.ZIP has and always will provide unlimited space FOR FREE to provide each sysop space to describe the online services offered at a given system. WHY PAY to be included in a list or publication which still carries numbers which were disconnected in 1990? DFW.ZIP gives you the BEST for FREE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please see the "short form" of this list (DFW.LST) for complete info on being included in these ORIGINAL DFW BBS LISTS. In order to get your bbs on this list, please fill out the SYSOP SURVEY found in every DFW.ZIP file as SYSOP.FRM. Rename this to "yourname".FRM when completed, and netmail to FIDO 1:130/607 or mark.robbins@ssanctum.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- This listing is regularly registered with the United States Library of Congress Copyright Office, to serve as an Official, Legal, and Historical Record of modem activity in the North Texas area.
