In the ZX-News has always published materials for beginners.
The area was so vast - from the tips of soldering and
programming to chewing statutes and rules of the network.
We finally renew this old
the good tradition of newspapers and offer your
attention an article devoted to this important element as
ehokonferentsii. Until So far in the press only talks about
about the technical side, and nothing was said about the main
thing - "how". Article Life in ehah, we hope to shed some light
on this question. It consists of three parts:
"Step 1: How to start writing in ekhi;
"Step 2: How to gain credibility;
"Step 3: How to become a moderator.
The remaining two parts will be published
in cl. Room ZX-News. We draw your attention to the fact that
the material is designed to ZXNet'chikov, so if you are using
not ZXNet'om as, for example, Fido - remember
about this (but this note is primarily concerned with only the
latter part of the article:)).

Step 1: How to start writing in ekhi.
Have you already purchased or collected the modem to learn
to work with the BBS for a week or two of his stay in the
network and this has recently interested in the strange files
with the extension "Z", which turned out some marvelous
texts with intriguing dialogue "AM",
"KF", "AP" and the others asked in bewilderment about
these files, your boss, you learn that
they are called ehami and are a major
means of communication in the network. Then you will receive
detailed instructions on using software, working with these
texts and then that deters many potential subscribers - a
collection of rules from the unknown and terrible moderator.
Since then, a person selects two
way - at first it is limited to downloading software from the
BBS, and the second is dipped into a full network life. If he
Interestingly the latter, then sooner or later he necessarily
meet that echo, where he discussed similar issues.
Suppose such an echo is found - and the man
eager to join the company of like-minded. Still, after all, for
he is for their excellent procedure or superkrutoy secret
games! And now it's ready press the desired button to create
your own the first letter, when suddenly remembers chtoto and
letters to the echo is not provided.
But even if it falls into an echo, there are only five
percent of a hundred that Beginners "writer," will continue to
send their letters. Why not? This will become clear
after meeting with the councils that follow.
So here's the myth, widespread
among the newcomers: in ekhi write only the chosen ones, so to
speak, the elite. And so to send back a letter, you need
something to distinguish the network. Precisely because of this
opinion Ninety percent of potential "writers" and there are
only users BBS, since to declare itself a network, you need to
prove himself ehah - obtained vicious circle. :) So, you know
that the power elite does not exist. In ehah
anyway - nobody cares about, whether
you're cool or clever hacker user!
The only thing that separated people who write in ekhi, so it
is with those who justify their opinions, and those who do not
does - ie, screamers. Human Face the network is subject (subj),
more precisely, its point of view on it. Conclusion: send away
those who scare behind your back about elitism "echo-writers"
and boldly proceed with the creation of letters!
Proceed to the second myth: Ehi - a dangerous thing, because
there lives terribly angry and bad people (or even more terrible
moderator), which is just waiting,
to devour the newcomer, having silly for them to stray. From
written above it is clear that it is not. :) Though it looks
like this myth is ridiculous, but it has a very negative
effect. Man, eager to write in ekhi, but scared of such a
horror stories, in the end limited to so-called fence on the
BBS (a its service option that allows you to create
short messages to other users, calling the station), where it
remains live. However, the difference between the fence and
ehoy the same as that between the quarry with water and
sea. This does not mean that the fences
"Suks and mazday" - far, how fast
correspondence between the users of BBS, they
very interesting and useful, but they are by no
Do not be a substitute for an echo!
Hopefully doubts tseleobraznosti
sending letters to the echoes to rest. Incidentally,
about a phenomenon eh - moderatorials, ie,
stars and pluses of moderators
well as scare or cause nervous
Many beginners. So, know this: all
seasoned subscribers a "reward" is perceived as something like
a baptism of fire! Therefore, if you shlopochete first star,
can congratulate ourselves on this occasion - as did Alexander
Suvorov at a luncheon at the Empress Catherine II. :)
You are already rubbing his hands and prepared the same
night to write a bunch of emails with new themes, and how much
you can spend too much time are these "Demomeykinga problems"
or "how to get Mirror ?"... Stop! "So you came to that
shaky ground, where many could not resist. Think - and then
there will cope with a dozen others, the responses have come to
your letters? If we consider that Novice "writer" for a
response takes at least ten or fifteen minutes, then becomes
clear why, when the novice disappears from eh, after several
days correspondence - all of this because, Ehi occupied
he has all his spare time, including what
which is assigned to go with tub. Although
and can ignore most of the letters, but then it will look like
screamers, who can not defend their point of view ...
So to prevent this from happening to you,
the first week is better not to send in their ekhi
topics, and begin to answer some
discussed subj, for which you have
own opinion.
Now that your first letter was in the echo, be prepared for
that ... him no answer. But this should not
confuse you! Silence is often explained
not the fact that your letter is allegedly not interested
(Because if you're reading this, then it
can not be uninteresting:)), and
just the fact that, for example, your
point of view, nothing to add - that is, with you
totally agree. (Cole you definitely want to get an answer to my
letter, then write to the person who has more
all posts in the echo. But be warned -
often then get rid of him will be
difficult. :)) Feel free to share your opinions on other topics
of Interest you - and a week or two you should already be
steady correspondence. And as soon as you feel that you become
intimately within it - which means it's time for Pushing own
themes! Already gained experience saves you from excessive
letters about the consequences of which were mentioned above.
So, here you are, and joined most
Best way to a society of like-minded. Now, after following
these tips, communication in ehah will always remain under your
control without taking your a lot of time and giving you
nothing but joy!
To be continued ...
