Hi there!

I have started a network here in South Africa known as GameNET,
specifically dealing in games...  just wondering if anyone is interested
in being a zone hub for some other country, as would be quite nice to
expand a bit.

You can get the conferences via FTN format (ie. Front Door), QWK or
UUCP, I don't mind...  just let me know if you are interested...  the
conf names are as follows:

+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
|CNF| GameName 13  |   QWK Name   |   FTN Name   | Write by | Read by |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+

 140  GameADMIN       GameADMIN      GN_ADMIN       SYSOPS    HUBS/ADMIN
 142  GameSYSOP       GameSYSOP      GN_SYSOP       SYSOPS    ALL SYSOPS
 143  GameNEWS        GameNEWS       GN_NEWS        SYSOPS/ME

 154  GameTECH        GameTECH       GN_TECH        ALL             ALL
 141  GameSELL        GameSELL       GN_SELL        ALL             ALL
 155  GameVOTE        GameVOTE       GN_VOTE        ALL             ALL
 149  GameREVIEW      GameREVIEW     GN_REVIEW      ALL             ALL

 144  GameADVENTURE   GameADV        GN_ADV         ALL             ALL
 145  GameRPG         GameRPG        GN_RPG         ALL             ALL
 147  GameFLIGHTSIM   GameFSIM       GN_FSIM        ALL             ALL
 150  GameACTION      GameACTION     GN_ACTION      ALL             ALL
 146  GameSTRATEGY    GameSTRAT      GN_STRAT       ALL             ALL
 151  GameMAILPLAY    GameMPLAY      GN_MPLAY       ALL             ALL

All conferences are readable and writable by "ALL", with the exception
of GameADMIN which can only be read by SysOps and written by the Admin
team and the Hubs (we are thinking of make this read/write by Admin
only), GameSysOp, which is of course only for SysOps, and GameNEWS,
which at current is only writable by sysops (kinda like
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.announce...) but I am thinking of changing this to
read/write by all...)

Please let me know...  I can be contacted in alt.bbs, alt.bbs.all-sysop,
and alt.bbs.wildcat, or, e-mail me at sysop@cool.alt.za...

Cheers
Gaven
