Ok, The point is that I want to offer access to other things like script
samples and access to my yahoo group, The sysopexchange. as soon as I can
start getting members on my yahoo group is when I can spend more time
updating it, and keeping sysops imformed, and If steve wants to help, that
would be great too.

The I have it setup is that to get access to the visiting sysop area they
have to have user flag V on, if not, then it ask then if they want to
validate their bbs info. after they fill in all in then it sends me an email
with there info in the message. and then it turns user flag V on and gives
them some extra credits.

I just have some plans.
