The "Fidonet Zone 1" website (fidonet.ca) has a "How to Join" page (http://www.filegate.net/zone1/how-to-join.html) which has a link to a form to apply for a node number. This form link is no good (404).

Okay, I thought I recalled that application form sent an email to you. Is there a web forum method still available for FidoNet Zone 1 join requests?

That website never sends me anything and I have no idea who runs its but guessing either Janis or something Bob Seaborn left on autopilot.

At one time I was getting apps manually forwarded from her but not for awhile now.

I don't think anyone else has forms to join or send me email.

Okay, thanks. I'll attempt to prune my how-to/help links to FidoNet Z1 zombie web-sites.

Any links should really just point to www.fidonet.org since it really "is" the official website... the zombie-sites only confuse newcomers.

On the home page is a link to zone 1, which goes to my site.

I have no idea if there are links for the other zones... doubt it.

I've only received like maybe one or two requests for a listing outside of zone 1 and those I forwarded accordingly.
