- Stupid Little Upload Counter
- Version 2.50
- For QBBS/SBBS Software
-
-
- What is Stupid Little Upload Counter?
- """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
- Have you ever wondered how some BBSs can get their users to upload?
- Well, there's nothing more motivating than having a bulletin thanking
- the top uploaders of a BBS. It makes top uploaders want to upload even
- more, and it makes people who aren't on the list try to get on it.
-
- Stupid Little Upload Counter is a small program that I wrote to
- create an ANSI and ASCII top uploaders bulletin. The program makes two
- lists: a Top Uploaders (Kilobytes) and a Top Uploaders (# of files).
-
-
-
- How do I install Stupid Little Upload Counter?
- """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
- Installation is extremely easy. Put SLUC.EXE in any directory you want.
- In the same directory, make a file called SLUC.CFG (a sample is provided).
- The file should look like this:
-
- Line 1: Name of your BBS
- Line 2: Full pathname and filename of the ASCII bulletin
- Line 3: Full pathname and filename of the ANSI bulletin
- Line 4: Full pathname and filename of your USERS.BBS file
-
- That's all there is to it! Just make sure in your BBS software that
- users will see the bulletins SLUC creates (I make them my NEWS files, so
- they are automatically displayed). Also, you need to run SLUC whenever
- you need a new bulletin - I run it every time a user logs off. To run
- SLUC, just change to whatever directory it is in, and type SLUC. Pretty
- easy, eh?
-
-
-
- Registration
- """"""""""""
- This is NOT a free version of SLUC. Registration will change the
- Blinking "UNREGISTERED EVALUATION COPY" into your BBS name, and take
- away the blinking.
-
- To register, please send $5.00 and a self-addressed stamped disk mailer.
- If you're not from Canada, and can't get Canadian stamps, just add a bit of
- extra money to cover postage of your disk. Please specify 3.5" or 5.25"
- disk, and write your BBS name (or whatever you want it to say on the
- REGISTERED TO: line) clearly.
-
- If you don't want to spend $5, then send $3, the mailer, and a cassete
- tape that says, "Hello, my name is [name], and I live in [city, province,
- country]. You're listening to The Two Hours of Insanity on CFRU 93.3 FM
- in Guelph." Remember to include a note giving CFRU 93.3 FM permission to
- use the tape on air.
-
- Send all money, mailers, and tapes to:
-
- Drew Hamilton
- 15 Blueforest Crescent
- RR#5 Guelph, Ontario, Canada
- N1H 6J2
