• Looking for Echo Moderators

    From Vincent Coen@2:250/1 to All on Sat Apr 25 17:40:36 2020
    Hello All!

    With Ben, Bill and Roger no longer with us in fido, there is a need for moderators to take over their echos.

    Please advise who and what and I will send you over an archive containing the MOD-ADD files along with any Rules for each area.

    The last time I looked a lot of them seem to have very low to no traffic but there again I could have a problem with links.

    This is the list found via a search for each name :

    Roger --

    COFFEE_KLATSCH - - Dead

    Bill --

    IIHF - - Dead
    NHL - - Traffic present in April 2020


    As a fair few have no traffic I will let those be deleted from all lists.

    If any one wants to take them on I can provide MOD-ADD files for them but you will need to change the MOD, COMODn and FROM lines along with the PASSword.
    IF there are any rules I will try and remember to include those as well in a zip.d archive sent direct netmail if requested.

    Hello Vincent,

    With Ben, Bill and Roger no longer with us in fido, there is a need
    for moderators to take over their echos.

    I have been looking some of those over wondering if others would like to take those on.

    Please advise who and what and I will send you over an archive
    containing the MOD-ADD files along with any Rules for each area.

    The AVIATION echo is active, that is Ward Dossche's echo.

    The Z1_BACKBONE echo is a backbone support echo. Perhaps on of the backbone hubs (or you) could take care of that. It's where folks communicate with the backbone with regard to their echoes along with getting areas listed/adjusted in the backbone.na file.

    I would be interested in these

    COFFEE_KLATSCH - - Dead
    MOVIES - - Dead in April 2020
    DOORGAMES - - None in April 2020
    DOS - - Traffic present in April 2020
    FIDO-REQ - - Traffic present in April 2020
    FIDO_UTIL- - Dead
    TUXPOWER - - none in April 2020

    If any one wants to take them on I can provide MOD-ADD files for them
    but you will need to change the MOD, COMODn and FROM lines along with
    the PASSword. IF there are any rules I will try and remember to

    requested.

    If you can send me the info I'll get those updated.

    If you could take care of that and the backbone.na I think that would be a GoodThing(tm). :)

    archive 'should' be attached as 1153757.zip if not let me know by direct netmail.

    For all eco files remove the last line starting with UPDATE.

    Replace your address details in FROM, MOD, REPLY (this can be removed).
    Add a COMOD1 etc if needed and check the descriptions as they might need a
    tidy up..

    Change MOD-ADD to MOD-UPD and create a password for each. This is case sensative.

    None have a rules file.

    i'm willing to take Z1_BACKBONE since i'm one of the three meshed
    stars...

    I will send over the mod-add file over to you - direct in a few hours.

    i have received it...

    IIUC, to update, i need

    1. to send in a MOD-UPD with the FROM as ben and myself listed as
    COMOD1 using the existing password?

    then

    2. when i see the notification that i'm listed as COMOD, send in
    another MOD-UPD with me listed as MOD using my standard FROM
    and possibly changing the password using the proper format
    for that?

    is this the correct two-step dance?

    IIHF - - Dead
    NHL - - Traffic present in April 2020

    I am willing to take over NHL, and I think IIHF can just go away.
    I recently started adding daily traffic to the NHL echo.

    If any one wants to take them on I can provide MOD-ADD files for
    them but you will need to change the MOD, COMODn and FROM lines
    along with the PASSword. IF there are any rules I will try and
    remember to include those as well in a zip.d archive sent direct
    netmail if requested.

    I'm not completely sure what all is involved regarding this, but
    if you can netmail me what I need to know/do, I'll get it done.
    Address is in my origin line below. Thank you.
