________ is run cooperatively by a not-for-profit
/ _____/______ ____ ___ ___ corporation known as Cyberspace
/ \ __\_ __ \_/ __ \\ \/ / Communications, Inc. and is totally funded
\ \_\ \ | \/\ ___/ > < by members of the corporation. As the
\______ /__| \___ >__/\_ \ treasurer of Cyberspace Communications,
\/ \/ \/ I'd like to say a few words about why you
should become a member of Grex. Becoming a member...
...helps keep Grex alive. Your donation helps us pay our phone
bills, electric bills, rent, and internet connection costs. These
bills currently run about $420/month. Besides, dead Grexes smell
even worse than road kills.
...will help Grex expand so that it can offer even more services
to its community (that's you!)
...gives you the right to vote in Grex elections. If you don't
like the way things are being run here, you can vote the bums
out, or you can call a vote on an issue you think is important.
...allows you to use our Internet link and do fancy stuff like
telnet, ftp, irc, and more.
...wins you the undying gratitude of all who love Grex.
...will make you feel like a really great person (just a little poorer).
Membership costs US$6 per month or US$60 per year (cheap!). Dues are 100%
tax deductable. If you pay for at least three consecutive months, you
become a voting member, and if you pay for 3 months all at once you may
request a copy of the 32-page Grex handbook, "Wizard in Training", and
I'll send it to you.
Institutions are also welcome to become members of Grex, and several have.
The only restriction is that only human members may vote.
To become a Grex member, send cash, checks, or money orders to:
Cyberspace Communications, Inc.
P.O. Box 4432
Ann Arbor, MI 48106-4432
Or you can send money with a credit card over the net using Paypal. See
/---------------------------------------\
| http://www.cyberspace.org/member.html |
\---------------------------------------/
for more information.
(If you send cash or a money order, or use Paypal, please send a photocopy
of a current ID, such as a driver's license or student ID card. If you
send a personal check with your name pre-printed on it, that's good enough
ID for us.)
Feel free to send me mail if you have questions about membership, or see
the membership FAQ at

hai.. can you Add PsyBnc to my account?
hehe, I've got to make time to see how many times this has been asked and how many fun ways this could be answered. But for now, I'll give you the short polite answer: Sorry, no.
Who are you, Kip?
Your latest victim?
d0p6, a very detailed accounting of why the answer to your request is "no" can be found at http://www.cyberspace.org/staffnote/eggdrop.html Take care and enjoy the rest of the system.
kip treats everyone like they have legitimate goals.
i h8 advertising
Ooh, snazzy graphics in #0. I like.
indeed. i'm mildly curious who the institutional members are.
Re #8: Back when Scott was in his phase of making his text look weird, I wrote a little program to put boxes around things and do drop capitals in figlet. It also allows one to specify a function for the left margin in terms of the line number, so that, for instance, the margin can zigzag or look like a sine wave. I haven't used that as much as I should have, I think. The list of members is available by typing "members | fmt". There are currently two institutional members, mnac and seeker.
what's the fmt for?
fmt makes it so multiple names appear on a line. (Otherwise it's one name per line.)
hey i'm new, coul someone help me with all the comands, i'm beginnig to feak out
What are you trying to do? I think if you type "help commands" at Ok: prompt, it will give you a list of commands. I could be wrong though, I have been using the web interface for so long, I barely remember.
Please thank jplatt, dpc, valerie, and mju for renewing their memberships.
Why?
I should read Agora more often.
Agora is 99.1% boredom
I know, but reading your stuff is good, because the Grexists respond to you in funny manners.
Re #16: The reason to thank people for supporting Grex is that without their support, Grex would cease to exist. So if you feel you benefit from Grex, then you have the members to thank for making that possible. Please welcome Georg Koch (gorg) for becoming a member of Grex! And while you're at it, thank bookie for renewing his membership. Thanks!
Charcat welcomes gorg to Grex and also waves a thanks to bookie. purrs to you both! =^o.-^=
Got an email this morning that a good friend in Wisconsin had a pretty nasty car crash, and is it the hospital.
scott , I hope your friend is alright.
How often does grex check it's P.O Box?
Usually at least once a week, I think.
I see that I have been neglecting to thank people. Sorry! I blame society. In July we had 2 new members: Georg Koch (gorg) and Cindy Gelinas (lhbunkie) In August, we had one new member: John Kachurick (jokach) In September, so far, we have one new member: Mark Griffin (markag) Please welcome gorg, lhbunkie, jokach, and markag as our newest members! Also, please thank bookie, jmm, wh, mdw, remmers, charcat, kaplan, scott, krj, witling, n8rxs, coyote, mooncat, dpfitzen, and dpc for renewing their memberships in July through September. I apologize again for not being more prompt in my public thanks. Membership dues add up to the vast majority of Grex's (small) income each year, so these are the people who make it possible for Grex to stay online. Thanks everyone!
I feel warm all over now.
Please welcome Fahad Hoda (fhoda) as our newest member!
Welcome, Fahad! It Gets Easier(TM)!
Whats the record for most new memberships in a month?
q
A cursory search turns up the fact that we had 10 new members in both March, 1995 and May, 2000. I won't swear that's the record though.
