Unlike "other" networks, our nodelist INCREASES in size, and our activity is on the RISE! Join CyberCrime today, and watch your system's message base activity kick any Internet-lovers into awe-struck silence. No, we're not miracle workers - we simply care enough about the BBS scene to make this a reality! * CyberCrime is the world's oldest, largest and highest-quality scene- based network, with 81 member nodes in 42 area codes, 20 states (US), 16 countries, 6 continents and 4 provinces (Canada). * 44 ACTIVE Message Echos, covering the full range in topics, including discussions for ALL computer scenes: Art, Warez, H/P/V/A/C, Gaming, Music and Demos, BBS Modding, Magazines, Entertainment, and more. * This is CyberCrime: A direct descendent of the original CyberCrime, founded by Midnight Sorrow in early 1990, which topped out at over FOUR HUNDRED BBSes worldwide. CCi (CyberCrime International) is TRULY the definitive "meeting ground for the underground." WHO MAY RECEIVE IT? * If you are directly involved with any active and dedicated groups (in ANY computer scene), and do not have access to a BBS, you may receive the network via QWK packets delivered directly to your e-mail account, or downloaded off of an FTP site. E-mail Midnight Sorrow at [email protected] for more information on hooking up with CyberCrime! * ANY quality, established BBS may join CyberCrime. As we are devoted to underground subjects, the quality level of your system must be verified through our application process. Please note: Only truly DEDICATED and MOTIVATED sysops need bother applying for CyberCrime. * No silly rules restricting you from joining, either: Carry as MANY "other" nets as you like - we're not insecure. :) Don't want to make CCi the backbone of your whole bbs? Who cares! Do you have a NUP, require real info from your users, or take a week to validate them thru NUV or voice validation? Hey, that's YOUR prerogative. Want to carry JUST five or six echos, and nothing else? Go for it! CyberCrime is about freedom, and choice. Not restrictions. HOW DO I GET MY MAIL? * CyberCrime is a FidoNet-Standard (FTS-001) BBS Message Network. There are QUITE a few transfer options now available: Standard polling from a Iong-distance hub.
