    Hello can someone please tell me how or where do you advertise your bbs

    In this net we post adds in the FSX_BOT area. You can use mutil to post
    an add periodically.

    Most nets have an area for BBS ads, in fidonet it is BBS_ADS.

    Also, if you are ready for callers you can add your bbs to the Telnet BBS
    Guide at telnetbbsguide.com. That's probably the best known global BBS
    list although there are others.

    Ttyl :-)

    create a file called postad.ini
    Add the below Mutil stanza ....
    create a text file with your ad and place it in the root mystic folder
    create an event that calls mutil postad.ini

    ; MUTIL configuration file
    ; -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ;
    ; MUTIL is an automated maintainance and utility program driven by
    ; configuration files used to perform various tasks upon execution.
    ;
    ; The syntax to execute MUTIL is: MUTIL <configuration file>. If no
    ; configuration file is supplied, then the program will look for mutil.ini
    ; in the same directory. A second parameter -NOSCREEN can be used to turn
    ; off screen updates but the configuration file parameter MUST be supplied
    ; ex: mutil mutil.ini -NOSCREEN
    ;
    ; Many different configuration files can exist to perform any series of
    ; tasks supported by MUTIL, or a single configuration can be maintained that
    ; does everything. The minimum requirement is the General header with a
    ; task enabled, and then the specific header for that task that defines its
    ; options.
    ;
    ; Current abilities (enabled/disabled in the General header below):
    ;
    ; - Export Binkley-style FLO echomail/netmail
    ; - Import Binkley-style FLO echomail/netmail
    ; - Import Message Bases (by datafile analysis)
    ; - Import FIDONET.NA into Message bases
    ; - Import FILEBONE.NA into File bases
    ; - Export FILEBONE.NA from File bases
    ; - Mass upload files to all file bases (with FILE_ID.DIZ import and the
    ; ability to exclude files by filemask)
    ; - Generate Top 1 up to 99 Callers, Posters, Downloaders, Uploaders, PCR
    ; Completely configurable output by using template files
    ; - Import FILES.BBS into file bases
    ; - Generate all files listing
    ; - Purge Message bases (by age and max messages)
    ; - Pack and renumber message bases
    ; - Post text files to message bases
    ; - Merge nodelists into Mystic format
    ; - Toss TIC+files into BBS and to subscribed downlinks
    ; - Pack and check integrity of file base listings
    ; - Sort file base listings
    ; - Perform message base echomail reply linking
    ; - Purge user database marking inactive users for deletion
    ; - Pack user database and remove private messages of deleted users
    ; - Automatically hatch a list of files to FDN
    ;
    ; The concept here is that you can create your own custom command lines to
    ; complete any number of tasks. For example, you could create msgmaint.ini
    ; which executes message base purge, packing, and reply linking. Then you
    ; can simply execute "mutil msgmaint" to kick it off.

    ; file should be prefixed with file# where # is a number from 1 to
    ; totalfiles.
    ;
    ; The delfile option (if true) will remove the filename after the message
    ; is posted. The baseidx is the permanent index of the message base to
    ; post the message into (shown as Index at the top of the message base
    ; editor in Mystic's configuration. Address is the echomail destination
    ; address

    file1_name = this is the file name of the .txt ad

    file1_from = this is your name
