Subj : The CyberDen is now FREE

From: bat@cyberden.com (bat)
Organization: The CyberDen - 510-633-9811

That's it folks. He's Mad...

The CyberDen is now a completely FREE site. No subscriptions required.
I've become officially unstable. It's time to pull out all the stops
and proclaim palandrifically, "WOW BOB WOW" while standing on my head
as my ears are turning red.

This means everything on The CyberDen is free. No subscriptions are
required anymore to access all the neeto stuff ok?

Only catch are the "Mature Areas" sections.  If you are accessing an
area and get a 1030 error, that means you're not allowed in there
because it's an area we restrict to those who send in the completed
"Mature Areas" form found in these mature areas. Simply download, fill
out and send in with a xerox of your drivers license/passport proving
you're old enough to go to jail on yer own and yer in!


What's now free that wasn't?

How do I get an account?

Same as before. Call up or log in over the Internet. See our web site
for full instructions at http://www.cyberden.com/

When you log in, REMEMBER! Your internet email account is made up of
your First Name, Middle Initial and Last Name that you fill out when
logging in. Your UserID is NOT YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT! - Therefore, if you
want a cool, simple handle for your email account name, enter it in
the LAST NAME field only. Leave the First Name and Middle Initial
fields BLANK!

You must call at least once every 14 days or your account gets deleted!

You can dial us direct with your modem at 510-633-9811 or if you can
run NetScape, you can tell FirstClass to log in over the internet as
well. Just choose for the first setup MODEM connection, put our IP#
(204.182.11.180) in the 'server' box and choose tcp/ip for the second
setup screen. Make sure in the advanced setup area in the second setup
screen that you up the tcp/ip buffers from 10000 to 32767.


How are you keeping this site going?

I knew you were going to ask me that. DONATIONS AND ADVERTISING! Since
we're free now, we're getting tons of traffic on the FirstClass BBS.
Our WEB site is getting over 125,000 hits per month and is growing in
hits each day. If you want to advertise your band, label, clothing
store, multimedia project, coffee house, etc. - then call us! Our
rates are inexpensive. VERY inexpensive. I mean el cheapo.

If you're feeling like a sugar daddy then we're more then happy to
fulfill your fantasy and accept all donations. We need $$$ to keep the
phone lines humming and the hard drives spinning.

You can send all checks, money orders, wads of hundreds and gold
bullion to The CyberDen at: PO Box 150465, San Rafael CA 94915

If you would like to advertise on both the BBS/WEB site hitting
literally thousands of people a day, call us at 510-636-9525 for rates
or a rate card.


What if I'm a label and want to do more then just advertise?

If you wish to get your own CyberLink area where you can have your new
releases be it record releases, software releases, twinkie filling
releases or hairball removing cream releases, call us too and we'll go
over our rates for CyberLink areas. Please check out the WEB site and
CyberLink in the BBS to see exactly what we're talking about. Words
mean nothing sometimes and pictures mean everything.


What if I already just subscribed or am a current subscriber?

Then you're cool and godlike in my world. Your donation(s) will go
down in my heart forever as kindness from a soul of purity. And if
you're still miffed, write me. I have some CD's you may dig.


Can we be geeks and hangout and chat till we puke?

Yes... fine... of course... and don't be surprised if you find
Chemlab, Xorcist, Insight 23, Cleopatra, Fifth Colvmn, 16 Volt, COP
International, 21st Circuitry, Switchblade Symphony or any other
random label or artist hanging out there chatting either.

We're also in the works of having another chat fest with cEVIN kEY
sometime soon... really... honestly... Hey, we did Young Gods and that
was a blast...
