- SBAY.ORG is a group of communications hobbyists
-
This was started by a group of mostly BBS sysops in 1993
with a little Internet expertise.
Lots of different expertise was added as the group evolved.
- SBAY.ORG is an online community
-
The organization depends on cooperation from other community members.
Internet sites forward mail to UUCP hubs which pass it on to "leaf nodes".
Along the lines of the original ideals of UseNet,
"you can pay back the network by helping others connect."
- SBAY.ORG is a Subdomain Registry
-
Subdomains of sbay.org are free,
with the catch that you must provide your own nameserver(s)
and follow common netiquette,
not causing inconveniences to the other volunteers.
- SBAY.ORG is a UUCP Registry
-
UUCP host names inside sbay.org are available for free and
come with automatic Internet MX records,
even if your immediate UUCP neighbors
are not directly on the Internet.
If anyone needs UUCP connectivity,
we ask around and find someone local to you with spare capacity.
- SBAY.ORG is NOT an ISP
-
Internet bandwidth is not free.
If you want to be directly Net-connected,
you must obtain and pay for your own connection.
The network is only capable of what its volunteers
are willing to provide for free.
