 Welcome to the first edition of The Underground BBS Newsletter. Here
we will try to keep you up to date on what's going on, plans for the
future, and who's doing what, and to who!


 As you probably already know we have just come online officially Feb.1
and things are already beging to get HOT! In the first week we had over
75 new users log on. With ads being posted on all the local BBS's and in
the national nets, that number will rise rapidly. We also have ads
coming out in some of the national magazines, such as Online Magazine,
and Connection Magazine.


 Let me welcome all of the new users, and tell you a little about what
we are all about. The Underground BBS Network is devoted to the
exploration of adult topics, and aternitive lifestyles (ie: swinging,
B&D, S&M, Bi/Gay, Fetishes). We are an adults only BBS, and allow NO ONE
younger than the age of 18 to join. So you can be assured that if you
are chatting with someone online they are of legal age. Any discussion
of children in a sexual nature could loose you your privileges. One more
quick note....If you have logged on and are using yur first and last
name as your user name that everyone will know you by, I would recomend
that you change that to a handle or just your first name. That will
allow you to keep your anonymity. But enough of that.


 I want to talk about what the plans are and get your feedback on how
you think we can make things better around here....One of the first
things that I want to do is purchase a Pioneer 6 CD Changer. This will
allow us to have 6 CD-Disk online at the same time to download from. As
you know now I have one online a day to download from, and the rest are
request only. For schedule of what's online for the day, go to the
system bulletins.


 We have just activated the 2nd node again, had some trouble getting the
phone line run to the computers. For those of you that don't have that
number it is (513)868-1025...be sure to add it to your dialing directory
in your com. program. Now you will have a better chance of getting
through without a busy signal. Plans for adding 2 more nodes are in the
works for the near future. This will depend on the interest of the other
users and the activity level. Our plans are to have 20 nodes online by
the end of the year. This will mean a software change, which by the way
is going to be expensive! If any of you have any ideas on software drop
me a note in the Sysop base.


 One of the things that we have noticed from observing the large adult
boards across the country is that the users seem to be more interested
in chatting online with the other users, and believe me the topics of
conversation get pretty HOT. America Online, InterNet, Compuserve, and
the rest of the major players all offer this service, and is very
popular amoung their subscribers. Of course it is also very expensive!
You can spend up to $6.00 for one hour online. We feel that at $5.00 a
month we are the better deal....Don't you? My point of all this is....
mention this BBS to your friends, tell your relatives (if your not in
the closet (G)), just get the word out so we can grow.


 One of the questions that has come up this week is to explain the
upload/download thingie on The Underground. Let me give it a shot.. As a
subscriber or a new user with visiting access, you are not required to
upload a single file to the system inorder to download what is
available. There are no ratios, points or any of that other garbage that
you run across on hobbie bbs systems. This does not mean though that you
are not allowed to upload. If you have a file that you feel would be
interesting to the other users, please upload it. You will receive
credit for the time that it took you to do it. I would especially like
to get any files that pertain to the subject matter that the BBS is
devoted to. Text files that offer information on local clubs,
information about a particular lifestyle, or if you offer a service that
you think would be of interest to the other users, upload us a file
telling us about it. Please do not upload GIF's unless you think that it
is the baddest thing that you have ever laid your eyes on! With over
100,000 now, well you get the picture. There is one exception to that
rule... If you have a GIF of yourself that you would like to upload for
the file base Member Gif's then by all means do it! These do not have to
show your face of course, but naughty member GIF's are a very HOT item,
and we encourage them strongly! (G) This is a great way to place an ad
in the "Looking For ...." bases, and will increase your responce to that
ad.


  Talking about personal ads has brought me to this... We encourage the
placing of ads in our local bases if you are looking to meet a special
lady, a studly guy, other couples, or anyone else to explore your
sexuality with. Remeber that your true identity will be held in
confidence unless you decide to disclose it to someone. Posting in the
local bases allows all users, that have access, to view your message. We
also have private E-Mail where you can send a private message to any
user you desire. Do not post your private phone number in your ad unless
you wish to get calls...I can assure you that you will, and most likely
from some that you don't want to call!


 I would like to make special mention to some of the users here. One
that has really heated things up rapidly is, Sensual Lady (her handle of
course). This lady really knows how to get a guys attention if you know
what I mean. She has been posting some of the HOTTEST messages in the
bases that I have ever read! To contact her... send her E-Mail or post a
message to her in any of the adult bases.... I have noticed that she
answers all commers, and will give you more than you expect!


 If any of you reading this would like to contribute to this
publication...No I don't mean money...(G)....Meaning to write an article
on any of the subject matter that we are devoted to, drop me a note and
I will give you the deadline schedule for the next issue. Just remember
that this goes out to all, even the new users that have been voice
verified... So keep it within those boundries. It will have to be
written in ASCI text, and will be included in the ZIP file that contains
the newsletter. I will be the final word on whether an article goes out
or not.

          Thats it for this month! Look forward to seeing you at 
                        THE UNDERGROUND NETWORK !
