-[ Note about the coordinators ]-        

        Blacknet is run by a group of 3 coordinators.  I, Magellan, run the
western united states nodes.  Mr. Muff runs the eastern united states nodes.
Genesis P'Orridge runs the canadian nodes.  All apps should be given to the
coordinator in the region you wish to poll from.

-[ What is BlackNet ]
   
   Welcome to the merge of Escape Net into Blacknet.  Several things
   has lead us into this merge.  We started noticing alot of the same boards
   in both nets. So we decided to do something about it. We can thank one
   person for pushing of the idea, and that is our bud betrayer, he just
   wouldn't give up :) Anyways, since we did this, we are going to take it
   to the extreme. This will be the best art dedicated net out there, and
   it will continue to grow. 

    BlackNET has changed a lot in these past few months.  Nodes have come,
    and have stayed.  The net is very active and a great net to join
    for anyone wanting a mixed variety network.  We have music subs, ansi
    subs, coding subs, whatever you could possibly want, just take a look
    at the blacknet.sub for a complete list.
                
    Blacknet is also the offifcal network for Cia Art and Infinity Emag
    as well as Revelation BBS software.  If you would like to have your    
    group supported with a base in blacknet, please notify me and we'll
    see what we can work out.

[ How to get in BlackNet ]

    There isn't any special requirements to get into BlackNet.  If you run
    a decent board, that will contribute to the net,  then most likely you
    will be accepted into the network. 

    Make sure to take a look through the rules and regulations file to make
    sure your board can follow those rules.  If you can't meet the polling
    requirements, you might as well not apply.  Imageine, if you poll 3
    times a week, at maybe 20 cents a poll, that's 60 cents a week, or like
    2.50 a month.  Let me just tell you now that blacknet is worth way more 
    than 2.50 a month. =)

-[ Note from the co-coordinator ]        
     
     hey all, mrmuff here. i recently was added as a co-ordinator for
this fine net. so, here i am telling you some stuff about this net. first
i would like to mention that this is the official support net for cia
productions and infinity e-mag. so i urge you to pick this net up if you
are a cia member and run a board, and if you are affiliated with infinity.
when i first started recieving blacknet, it was small, but with time it
continued to grow to be one of the best art support networks out there. the
other nets came close to dying, but blacknet continued to grow. so, if
your looking for a good quality art net to pick up, why not pick up blacknet.
it's never came close to dying, and it continues to grow. if you are
interested, contact magellan on enemy unknown, or his e-mail, which i don't
know off hand, but it is mentioned in this info file, or contact me on
high fidelity, or my e-mail, mrmuff@cris.com. you are welcome to call any
board that carries blacknet to see what i am talking about. any questions,
comments, or criticisms should be addressed to myself or magellan, and i
wish to thank magellan for adding me in as a co-oridnator. peace goes out
to all my blacknet buds, cia nigs, and infinity dorks :)
