-[ Note about the coordinators ]-        

        Blacknet is run by Magellan.  Magellan's underling is Betrayer.
   Betrayer is responsible for a lot of the new nodes that are appearing
   in the net right now.  Kudos to Betrayer for that. =)
        The two other coordinators, Mr. Muff and Genesis P'Orridge have
   left the scene, so we have two new coordinators.  Gus is taking over
   in the canadian region, and Wonker is taking over the US East.
        As for blacknet west, everything is fine and dandy.  Another node
   list revision will come next week, as i get out of school and will be
   able to go through the nodelist and find out who is not polling.

-[ 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. =)
