THE NEW GENERATION GROUP GUIDE
by
Beezlebart!
Well, after a short period of time, I decided to write a second New Generation
Guide. As you remember, when I speak of 'New Generation' I am referring to all
of you who have aquired your modem in the last months or so..
This guide will help you in your pursuits to set up, and run a user group. That
group can have many reasons for being formed, some such as:
-Pirating
-Phreaking
-Partying
-Authority
If you have trouble with any of these, there are plenty of files to help you
with some of those subjects.
First of all, for a good group, you must think of a name that is authorative,
and sounds powerful. The reactions of other users towards your group will be
in direct relationship to the 'powerfulness' of the name.
Here are a few ideas for you:
RUGGIE BURNERS OF AMERICA
THE MEAN DUDESTERS
WE RULE THE BBS SCENE ELITE!
KNIGHTS OF DARKNESS
SUPREME TRIBUNAL ELITE!
Be sure to name of your group according to what you want to accoplish with the
group.. Such as, if you just want to be knon, and respected, I would suggest
any of the above.. If you are a party group, call yourself the 'Though Police'.
Heh, no just joking, if you are a party group, try something like 'THE BEER
GUZZLERS ELITE AT 300 BAUD' or something to that effect.
Be original, and make sure to use 'psuedo-spellings', such as instead of a name
like 'COOL DUDES OF DEATH', call yourselfs the 'K00l D00DZ OF DETH!', or
something like that.. All appropriate letter combination substittions can be
found in the 'New Generation Sysops Guide.'.
Next, for you to have a good group, you need members. If you run a BBS
that you set up using the 'New Geneation Sysops Guide', then pot this message
in your announcements. If not, post it on a BBS you call regularily.
Here is a typical 'recruit' message, and will work best for your uses.
TITLE: NEED MEMBRRS!!!!!!!
First, lets look at the title.. It should be in upper case, and hav quite a
few explanation marks. That will attract more users to read your message.
DATE POSTED: XX/XX/86
BY: YOU!
OK, DUDES! WE ARE STARTING A NEW GROUP.
[First line- Declare it a new group, so users will know it new, and won't get
it confused with a existing one..]
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE K-K00L, THEN PLEEEZE LEAVE ME EMAIL.
[Second line: First, make sure they know that they must be K00l, before they
can oin your group. But, there is a mistake here. Instead of telling them
to leave you E-mail, just give your voice number. That way, it can get star--
ed quicker, and will be benificial for everyone to know there group leaders
phone number.]
Ok, then finish by filling the rest of your message inText Graphics, then sign
off, always embedding backspaces in your name, and then we come to the most
important part.. Signing ff with the group nme. Letssay your group name
was the 'Beer Guzzlers'.. Now you can abbreviate it to "TBG" for this example.
YOUR NAME/LOOKING FOR MEMBERS TO THE
