If you are unwilling to abide by the terms of this bulletin, then you should stop using this BBS. Your continued use of this system constitutes acknowledgment that you have read, and agreed to, the terms and conditions described in this bulletin. (1) The Message System Pursuant to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (18 U.S.C. 2510 et seq.), notice is hereby given that there are no facilities provided by this system for sending or receiving private or confidential electronic communications. The operators of this BBS, being legally responsible, read all messages left on this system, including "Private" messages addressed to persons other than the system operators. The system operators reserve the right to delete any message, (Page 2) regardless of whether such message has been received by its intended recipient(s). The system operators also reserve the right to change the status of a message designated "Private" so that such message is public and available to all callers. The status of a message may be changed whenever, in the sole discretion of the system operators, it is believed appropriate to do so. Your continued use of this BBS constitutes acceptance of the system operators' discretion in this regard. "System operators" means those persons responsible for the operation and maintenance of this bulletin board system and their designated agents. The system operators reserve the right, without limitation, to grant "Sysop" status to other persons. Such persons have access to all communications on this BBS and may have all rights of a system operator, including the ability to delete or change the status of messages. (2) Files Available for Download (Page 3) The operators of this system take reasonable care with regard to the files that are posted for download. Files that have not yet been screened are not posted. However, the system operators cannot be held responsible for the software on this system. All software is taken by you "as is" and you assume the entire risk of ANY harm that might occur through your use of this software. THE SYSTEM OPERATORS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH REGARD TO SOFTWARE OBTAINED FROM THIS SYSTEM AND HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. In no event will the system operators be liable for incidental or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, destruction of data or damage to your equipment. ANYONE who knowingly uploads a trojan/virus program to this board, or attempts to HACK this system, will be denied further access and their name will be passed to other area Sysops and to the appropriate authorities. (Page 4) REFERENCE -Part II---------------------------------------------------------------------- New User Notice Welcome to 20 Miles North of Nowhere BBS. You have been accepted as a new user, and will be validated within 24-48 hours. Your access will depend on how you answered the new user questionnaire and any other circumstances that the SysOp sees fit. As your SysOp, I have the responsibility of protecting the best interests of the users, and the users themselves, while they are logged on to this system. E-Mail is not reviewed, but if any suspicious activities arise, the SysOp has every right to review mail, files and bulletins, and limit access to or delete accounts. *** It is extremely rare for me to delete an account, and I'm usually pretty "easy".. But don't let this fool you. If I recieve ANY complaints about sexual, racial, ethnic, or religious harassment, the complaints WILL be investigated. If the charges are accurate, the account WILL BE DELETED, NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!!!! As you probably know, I can't review every file, bulletin, or message on the system. I try to "weed out" all obscene posts and/or files, and scan as many (Page 5) files as possible for viruses. However..... I can hold no responsibility for obscene posts, files, or other "unacceptable" items. But, if you spot anything suspicious or obviously obscene, PLEASE TELL ME! I will take IMMEDIATE ACTION!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE:Anyone providing false information when applying to this system will be prosecuted under United States Code Title 18, Chapter 121, ss.2701, (Electronic Comm. Privacy Act of 1986) Providing of false information on this BBS is prohibited, and therefore users gaining access by doing so have obtained access to this system without authorization. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sec. 201. TITLE 18 AMENDMENT. Title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after chapter 119 the following: "CHAPTER 121--STORED WIRE AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND TRANSACTIONAL RECORDS ACCESS ... (Page 6) SS 2701. Unlawful access to stored communications "(a) Offense.--Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section whoever-- --------->"(1) intentionally accesses without authorization a facility through which an electronic communication service is provided; or --------->"(2) intentionally exceeds an authorization to access that facility; and thereby obtains, alters, or prevents authorized access to a wire or electronic communication while it is in electronic storage in such system shall be punished as provided in subsection (b) of this section. "(b) Punishment.--The punishment for an offense under subsection (a) of this section is-- "(1) if the offense is committed for purposes of commercial advantage, malicious destruction or damage, or private commercial gain-- (Page 7) "(A) a fine of not more than $250,ooo or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, in the case of a first offense under this subparagraph; and "(B) a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than two years, or both, for any subsequent offense under this subparagraph; and "(2) a fine of not more than $5,000 or imprisonment for not more than six months, or both, in any other case. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any user who is a minor (under 18 years of age) is NOT PERMITTED to access the adult areas on this system. If a minor happens to recieve access to any adult areas, the access was UNCONDITIONALLY given BY MISTAKE - the access was not intentionally given to the person by the sysop, and the sysop will NOT be held accountable for minors obtaining access to these areas. If the sysop makes a mistake, please alert him. Again: if you are under 18, and have been given access to the adult areas, you should not have access to these areas. In addition, the sysop holds NO responsiblity for the files uploaded to the file libraries.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Page 8) This is a PRIVATE bbs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Questions Answered: -Why such a long disclaimer? Well, for my protection and yours. Between the hackers and the feds, things have been a little tricky for sysops all over the US lately. -Is there anything illegal on this system? No, not to my knowledge, but I can't check everything. I try my hardest, but I could have missed something. IF YOU FIND ANYTHING ILLEGAL, TELL ME, SO I CAN DELETE IT!!!!! -Are there file ratios here? Nope. Enough of that. Enjoy the system. (Hey, I heard that laugh!)

Status reports take 4-7 days to process, and will be e-mailed to the user, or sent via US mail if requested. Passwords --------- Passwords are not given with user reports. If you forget your password, a voice call is required to/from the sysop, who will then inquire about the user at his discretion. To change your password, simply do so under the [D]efaults section at the main menu. E-Mail ------- The sysop usually leaves all mail alone, but is LEGALLY entitled to read any user's mail whenever he or she wants. There is no method in which to send private mail on this system. Cancelling your account ----------------------- (Page 15) To cancel your account, simply leave feedback with the sysop. The account will be deleted seven days after the sysop acknowledges your request. You are permitted to log on again any time after the cancellation of your account, and you can immediately gain back all your access via a voice call to the sysop. Automatic user purging/Inactivity --------------------------------- In the interest of saving data space, user accounts are automatically deleted after one year of inactivity.

Any type of religious harassment will not be tolerated on this system. Users are allowed to form groups/clubs based on religion, but MAY NOT deny another user access to their forum due to differing religious views. Debates and small arguments over religious subject matter are perfectly acceptable. However, the sysop may screen these discussions, and (Page 17) can take action whenever the arguments are deemed to be violent or inducing violence, harassing or disciminating against one person or a group of persons, or contain slurs or obscenities. It is hoped that all users will respect the views of others, no matter what their religion, race, sex or nationality may be.
