ArcusNet was created Spring Break, 1995.
The objective was to found a net specifically for
intelligent and experienced message posters of the 817 area
code, free of bases dominated by woefully ignorant and
moronic 14 year-olds unaware of basic spelling, grammar, and
reality in general - that reality being that they suck.
Sucking is becoming more socially acceptable these days -
bad trend. ArcusNet is a reactionary institution, based
upon our hopes for the flourishing of the high standards
we choose to enforce upon ourselves.
Enough of that.. the facts are, ArcusNet has the best coders
in Texas, and is currently the Net HQ for two quality text
groups and a superlative programming group, not to mention
817's finest in general. The net has expanded a bit, into
quality boards in Canada and Illinois, and is actively seeking
further additions. A list of our BBSs is at the end of this
file.
Just for the fun of it, since this is a FAQ, let's take some
questions..
Q: I just started my BBS, and I think ArcusNet would really
help it out - I don't have many users yet, but my mother
says I'm smart.. can I join?
A: No. You need to establish yourself first, which could
take weeks or months, depending on how good of a SysOp
you turn out to be. Get some good users - especially
good posters. As far as we're concerned, the message
bases *are* the BBS. If you can't generate a
respectable 60-100 posts a day in your local bases,
then you're not strong enough to be joining any nets.
The network often generates 100k of messages (that's
zipped text) a day from only six bulletin boards.
Build up to it.

z's AnD r3pLAc1nG o'z w1Th 0'z.. cAn 1 J01N?
A: No. d00dz suck. We laugh at people like you. Ditch
your 0-day penis props and do something creative with
your pitiful life. You are a waste of organs.
Q: Hey. I run a multinode BBS, with several hundred users.
I carry 3 international nets and several Internet
newsgroups, and I have thousands of cool texts online.
I code in ASM, and I look just like David Koresh. Can I
join ArcusNet?
A: You're cooler than we are. But not by much, because I used
to look like David Koresh, too.. maybe you can have
probationary status.
Q: If I were to..
A: Yes, because you used the subjunctive mood correctly. I
love it when people do that, though they often suck
anyway.
Q: You're the ones that suck - who are you to judge us?
Why is your definition of quality the only correct one?
A: Whine, bitch, whine, bitch.. it's simply fact. BBSland
has amazing potential for stupidity and erroneous
self-importance, which is usually realized. It's
getting harder to find things of any value not ridden
with idiotic angst (another fucking stupid trend) or
suffering from another equally lame mental impairment.
Why not separate ourselves from those who are even
now crowding into BBSs hoping to be I<-âD someday?
Q: Can you be a little more specific about what goes on in
your supposedly awesome net?
A: If I told you, your brain might catch fire.
Religions, Metaphysics (for the astral projectors), Real
Musicians (not hacks who transcribe Nirvana), Literature,
Role-Playing Games, blah, blah.. SysOps have their own
discussion area, and there is also the matter of Ouais
Mec! and [2112], two text file groups based on BBSs in
ArcusNet - each has its own support echo, where applicants
and members alike post their submissions for consideration
and criticism. We also have ridiculously skilled coders,
to the point of having two programming bases, one for
dabblers and one for the awesome.
We do occasionally blacklist posters from the net. It's
not gratuitous or unreasonably prejudiced. It's simply
the best method of preserving the order of the net.
Q: Is it even possible to join this net, or are you just
teasing us, O rapist of both furry and slippery animals?
A: Yes, it's possible to join, and we really *want* people to
join. Not just anybody, though, which is what has made it
so much more complicated, dammit.
When asking a Swede working at a hotel pool why he had to
wear a swim cap, a wise man was told, "You should not
have to swim through other people's hair."
Q: How do I contact you?
A: Call me at [tnh] (817.346.3370) or send e-mail to
mcy1536@utarlg.uta.edu. I'll call your BBS soon after and
see where you stand in the great BBS food chain.
Here's that BBS List:
