Hello Everyone,

This message is to inform everyone that I have made some
more changes on the Armageddon BBS, in order to make it
easier to post in our message forums.

While we still carry the same thirty-four message forums as
before, they are no longer divided into two separate message
areas. Instead, there is now just one combined message area
called "Armageddon BBS Messages Area".

In other words, you now no longer have to type the letter J,
and then the number 2, in order to switch to our FidoNet
message forums/echoes. The minute you arrive at the Main
Menu after logging on, all thirty-four message forums will
be available to you, beginning with forum number 1, which is
called "New User Intros".

There are two ways to see a list of all thirty-four message
forums. You can either type an asterisk, (*), or you can
type the letter J, followed by the number 1. The latter way
will show you forum names more fully.

So how will you know which forums are local message forums,
and which are FidoNet message echoes? Quite simply, each
time that you type a number in order to switch to a
different message forum, an ANSI graphics screen will appear
which will display the name of the message forum, a short
description of the forum, and on the top right side of
screen, it will tell you whether or not the message forum is
a FidoNet echo. The words "FidoNet Echo" will be in bright
green letters, while the word "yes" or "no" will be in white
letters.

Another easy way to remember it, is that forums 1-6 are
local message areas, while 7-34 are FidoNet echoes.
Following is a full list of the current forums:
