Thank you for your interest in The Zero Network!
Zer0net was founded in the late 1990s during a desperate time when the
last few great dial-up systems were folding and, due to lack of good
solutions, telnet hadn't quite taken hold outside of the odd "public
domain" Wildcat and Worldgroup board. Things were changing, that much
was obvious, and while many others struggled to come up with ways to
move our technology forward, or to shift the focus of their groups away
from the BBS scene entirely, we dedicated this echomail network to the
idea of keeping the underground scene and its various areas of interest
a part of active conversation on what few "elite" bulletin board
systems remained.
On Zer0net you'll find intelligent discussion based around the underground
art scenes, the h/p scenes, warez, programming, and of course all things
related to BBSing itself. Many of Zer0net's regular contributors are
influential members of the BBS scene, past and present, and we have
official and unofficial affiliations to a wide array of scene groups and
software.
Historically, membership to The Zero Network has been highly selective.
Specifically, systems with beautiful custom artwork, large amounts of
modification, an authentic old school, underground feel, and/or an active,
quality local community are what we're looking for. We're also only
interested in serious SysOps who plan on sticking it out for a while. We
have loosened our membership requirements over the years, but still require
at least *some* active participation from a node in order to stay in good
standing. There are many other networks out there for the innumerable
SysOps who get nostalgic and put up boards with default setups and no
active users. This is not one of them.
