      |  Official Fido APOGEE Conference Rules - Updated Dec 08th, 1995  |
       ------------------------------------------------------------------
                           Conference Echotag: APOGEE
     Moderator: Joe Siegler, who can be reached via Netmail at 1:124/9006.
This conference exists for the purpose of providing vendor support for
Apogee Software, Ltd, the shareware game publisher.  Product support,
bug reports, product announcements, and much more will be posted/talked
about in this conference.  This conference also serves as the discussion
conference for the Apogee FDN, which is carried on the Fido Filebone.  If
you are interested in getting the Apogee FDN on your BBS, grab yourself a 
opy
of FILEBONE.NA; it will have information on how to contact a Filebone
representative.  Failing that, you can ask your local Fido administration on
what their policy is regarding obtaining Filebone files.
Note: The following are not Apogee/3D Realms games and are not valid
topics of discussion in this Conference:
Doom, Doom II, Heretic, Hexen, Strife, Quake, Descent, Witchhaven,
Tekwar, and Powerslave.  The last three can be peripherally talked
about, as they do use our technology, but direct threads on them are
off-topic.
Conference Rules
================
* No Personal Attacks or insults
     Please, don't go around insulting someone just because you don't agree
     with them.  If you feel you must argue with someone, argue the topic,
     don't insult someone.  Remember, that just because someone likes
     something you don't, it's no reason to insult them.
* No Vulgar Language
     This is a family network, so keep the dirty language out of the 
essages.
     Also, masking part of a word with other characters does not make it
     acceptable material for posting.
* Do not behave in a disruptive fashion
* No "TEST" messages
     Please do not use this conference for "test" messages, saying "This is a
     test, let me know if you get this".  There are other conferences for 
that,
     you don't need this one to do it in.  If you see one of these, DO NOT
     reply to them; as it's a further waste of bandwith.
* Don't over-quote
     Don't quote a whole bunch of text just to add something like "I agree",
     or an emoticon.  Fido echomail has to be paid for by a lot of people, 
nd
     only quoting the section you must in order to get your point across will
     be appreciated by a far lot more people than you think.  Please do not
     quote entire messages, with origin, tear, taglines.  In other words,
     say more than you repeat.
* Encryption
     Encryption, for any reason, is prohibited in this conference.  This also
     includes UUENCODED messages.  Please contact the moderator in Netmail
     first before posting UUENCODED messages/files.  The moderator reserves
     the right to post uuencoded messages here, but if you want to, you MUST
     check via Netmail first.
* Language
     English is the only language approved for use in this conference.  
ainly
     because the Apogee reps in this conference don't speak/read any other
     language, and we cannot answer foreign language messages.
* Stay on-topic
      All messages must ahere to the topic of the conference.  This means 
hat
      your messages must deal with Apogee Software.  This doesn't mean that
      they have to be 100% about Apogee.  Related topics such as comparing
      Apogee's Rise of the Triad features to some feature in id's Doom is OK.
      However, something like saying "How do I get by level 6 in Doom" is not
      ok.  Please try and keep messages from non Apogee games to a minimum.
      Several people carry this ba                                            
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
          If
you do not know what this is, ask your local SysOp for more information on
sending and receiving Fido Netmail.
That's pretty much it. If you have any questions or problems, send me some
Netmail.  Otherwise, sit back and enjoy meeting all sorts of interesting and
nice people. And above all, have fun.
