Thank you for applying for the CyberCrime International Network. This procedure is quite simple. All you need to do is fill out the following application, and return it to Midnight Sorrow, CyberCrime OverLord. Quickest and easiest method by far is to hop onto EFnet IRC, and seek him out as nickname MidSorrow. (He's on most evenings. Check out the new #CyberCrime channel!) Then simply DCC it to him. If your system is of sufficient quality, you will generally be assigned a node number on the spot. After that, the primary choice would be via e-mail, send it to either midsorrow@ice.org or cci-mail@geocities.com You may also choose to netmail or crashmail it to any of the node numbers for Infinite Darkness, CCi WHQ, including: FidoNet 1:369/23, InfiNet2 68:9541/0, AttitudeNet 76:200/155, DoREnet 44:300/0, Gnome Land 18:1/0, KitschNet 15:170/17, Masque 235:4109/7, PODnet 93:9020/0, PrismNet 33:7000/0, RGSnet 50:270/400, Speed 12:94/3, or VoidNet 77:888/12. If none of those above options are available or feasible, you will then need to directly call Infinite Darkness, login "CYBERCRIME" password "DEATH", and upload the pack that way. (Or you may apply for a new user account, access on the first call). Infinite Darkness is available 24/7 at 1-954-316-4663. If accepted, you will be added into the nodelist and sent your startup/welcome kit via the method you choose in the below application. (Note: Midnight Sorrow MAY call your BBS to verify your identity, and/or evaluate the quality of your system. If you do not validate him, for any reason, your CyberCrime application will be instantly discarded.) Thank You, Midnight Sorrow CyberCrime OverLord NOTE: BEFORE YOU SEND IN THIS APPLICATION, BE SURE YOU RENAME IT! Best is XXXXXXXX.APP, XXXXXXX being an eight-letter abbreviation of your bbs name (ie Infinite Darkness might be INFIDARK.APP). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** PLEASE CUT EVERYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE TO SAVE ON FILE SIZE! **** -------------------------------------------------------------------- PERSONAL INFO * If you fail to answer ALL of these questions, your application will be immediately discarded. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Do not fill out this app unless you are the sysop of this bbs. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's Date * Your Handle * Full Real Name * E-Mail Address * Your Age * Voice Number * City/Town * State/Province * Country * -------------------------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM INFO * Questions related to your bbs. -------------------------------------------------------------------- BBS Name * BBS Number * Approx Number of Users * BBS Operating Hours * BBS Software Used * BBS Website URL * Computer Type Used * Front End Mailer Type * Mailer Hours Online * Modem Brand/Type/Speed * New User Password * Number of System Nodes * Telnet Inbound Address * Telnet Operating Hours * Total Online Storage * When was your BBS established ? * -------------------------------------------------------------------- Is your system considered open access or private/invite-only?
