http://m-net.arbornet.org or telnet m-net.arbornet.org This is the closest system in structure to the Spring on the Internet. They use Yapp 3.0.18 and BSDI 2.1 just like we do here. I just joined and am finding this system to be invaluable in terms of resources and they are an inspiration in terms of the nuts and bolts of how to run a large, low cost virtual community. Wait till you see their balance statement!

It was an excellent month for us. We gained $273.68 after paying all the bills. 2. We had the largest amount of gross receipts since August, 1997. We took in the largest amount for Memberships/Patronships since January, 1996--two years ago. 3. The rent went from $161.00 to $168.00 due to the consumer price index adjustment in our lease. 4. We were assessed a $3.00 checking service charge for the first time because our bank balance fell below the minimum. 5. We need to do as well for the next several months as we did in January to have an adequate cash reserve. Thanks very much to all those who pitched in!
