q: what is this ?
|
|
a: it is a node of the rocksolid forums.
|
|
The rocksolid forums are technically some news
|
|
servers running private newsgroups together and offering web frontends
|
|
for user access. the intention is to have redundant web forums, which
|
|
are always up and reachable in a way.
|
|
a2: some nodes may carry other groups, including common usenet groups.
|
|
|
|
q: what are the tos ?
|
|
a: don't irritate the admins. they/we run these sites because we want
|
|
to. Don't troll, post crap, illegal stuff, and it should be fine.
|
|
|
|
q: will you tolerate links to cp ?
|
|
a: no (see above).
|
|
|
|
q: why do you use stoneage technology ?
|
|
a1: because it's fun.
|
|
a2: because it saves you (the user) and me (the admin) from some
|
|
security holes the newer stuff brings with it (having said that, of
|
|
course there are security holes in the old stuff as well...)
|
|
a3: because it handles the job well (even on old hardware and minimal
|
|
systems)
|
|
|
|
q: what do i do when this node is down or unreachable ?
|
|
a: use any other rocksolid site, they all carry the same message base
|
|
(and some of them other groups as well, like usenet, dovenet or freenet
|
|
groups).
|
|
|
|
q: i discovered a piece of information that should not be here. what do
|
|
i do ?
|
|
a: ask in rocksolid.nodes.help for the admin of the node you are using
|
|
and how to contact them.
|
|
a2: For novabbs or rocksolidbbs, email admin@novabbs.com
|
|
|
|
q: what is the point of all of this ?
|
|
a: it's free anonymous speech, and the fun of running a service that
|
|
supports it.
|
|
|
|
q: can i run my own node ?
|
|
a: sure you can. it is easier then it might look. contact us in the
|
|
rocksolid.shared.rocksolid group.
