"The Basics Of Tfile Groups"

So, you'd like to start up a tfile group. But you've not a clue. Well, take it
|
|
from one who's started up a fairly successful one. Or take it from me. It takes
|
|
NOTHING special. No talent, no skill, no charm, no commitment, no kidding. Here
|
|
are the basic steps to starting your own NIFTY tfile group.
|
|
|
|
ð1ð Thinking Up a Name
|
|
|
|
Just think of a cool word. Any cool word. For example, penis. Now, capitalize
|
|
all of the consonants, and keep the vowels in lower case <IMPORTANT!>. The
|
|
result : PeNiS. Next is also a crucial step, look at an ass-key chart and find
|
|
some extended ass-key equivalents of the letters of the group name. P, hmm,
|
|
well nothing can be done about that. Let's just leave it the way it is. e, well,
|
|
there's alt-144, that looks cool. N, there's an easy one for that. Alt-165.
|
|
Try and make the letters keep the look of being capitalized and in lower case.
|
|
There are tons of possibilities for i, alt-141 looks pretty cool. For the S,
|
|
now this has been a topic of constant discussion among the TRULY elite circles
|
|
of modemhood. Does alt-235 look like a d or an S? Chessman says it makes his
|
|
name look like Cheddarman, but I see all of the kool new BBSs using ááë. Is
|
|
that a d or a S? Well, hey, if The WareHouse says it's an S, it must be. But
|
|
wait! You've used NO slashes or backslashes in your group name! You could
|
|
substitute ¥ for /\/, but it'd be better to clear up that ë discrepancy by
|
|
using slashes on it. Ok, you now have a group name. Make sure all of your
|
|
members commit the ass-key sequence to MEMORY, or otherwise they should be
|
|
kicked out for insubordination.
|
|

|
|

|
|
Now, look at the letters and try to make it an acronym out of it. Something
|
|
like
|
|
/
|
|
Professional �lite ¥euromancers �n Cyber\pace
|
|
/
|
|
|
|
That's good. It takes up a lot of space, and sounds K00L. Any reference to
|
|
cyberpunk, neuromancer, or cyberspace is a DEFINITE plus, and if it's not
|
|
a true acronym, hey, even better. Congratulations! You've now got a name!
|
|
|
|
<apology at this point for not being terribly funny in this tfile. I'll cut
|
|
to the chase now. I'm just bored and writing this tfile so that BLaH doesn't
|
|
die. Oh joy, you've found me out>

Ä- GUIDELINES FOR YOUR TFILE GROUP -Ä
|
|
|
|
þ Release lots of things. Especially if they're not yours. You can rack up
|
|
tons of releases by transcribing song lyrics from tape/cd covers, or making
|
|
every 8th release an index of your previous releases.
|
|
|
|
þ Upload your stuff to Ripco. I guarantee it will be distributed.
|
|
|
|
þ The first thing that should be released is an application. Who cares about
|
|
the actual content of the tfiles, just as long as people can add that funky
|
|
little acronym after their name when they post.
|
|
|
|
þ It does NOT matter where your TRUE HQ is, pretend it's in another country.
|
|
Sweden for example. It's very impressive, and will get your crap distrib-
|
|
uted out the ass.
|
|
|
|
þ Get couriers. Yes, even tfile groups need couriers. It doesn't matter if
|
|
your longest release is 10k <probably an index, too>, get some HST people
|
|
to distribute it.
|
|
|
|
þ You can NEVER use too much Extended Asskey. The same goes for capitalizing
|
|
all consonants and leaving vowels in lower case.
|
|
|
|
þ Get as many SiTES <not sights, or even sites> as possible. Regardless of
|
|
their quality.
|
|
|
|
þ Above all else, rag on other groups. Indiscriminantly. Like that piece of
|
|
shit group MaDCaP.
|
|
|
|
þ Get one decent writer and let him/her write lots of text files. Since you
|
|
released the first one, you'll get the credit of being the main guy of the
|
|
group. Exploiting others is a sure fire way to get yourself an interview in
|
|
Phrack.
|
|
|
|
þ Don't piss off the people at Phrack by saying you can be reached at their
|
|
subscription address.
|
|
|
|
þ Never let them see you sweat.
|
|
|
|
þ Fuck and shit can also never be used to darned much.
|
|
|
|
þ NEVER EVER write about emotion or what you think to be true.. the 'public'
|
|
won't buy it one bit, and besides, we've got that market covered
