the "Servers" tab. Unix shell account users need to put it in the
NNTPSERVER environment variable.
Q: Who do I ask if my question is not answered here?
Q: What's going on around here?
<!--#include virtual="/people/footers/"--> <!--#include virtual="/people/footers/trippy.html"-->Please be sure to always edit the document downloaded fresh off the server, or cut & paste the above piece of code when you next edit your index.html. It is important that you not edit a VIEW SOURCE document from your browser and then upload it. When you VIEW SOURCE, it expands the code into html. That means that if we ever replace the image with a nicer one or something, instead of reading in the document we have prepared, your page will display older and perhaps broken images.
Q: How do I get my home page listed in the Forest?
A: When your home page is ready to present to the world, please email the gardener@cyborganic.com with your Cyborganic username and specify that you would like to be in the Forest. New Forest inhabitants are featured on a special page.

A: Cyborganic strongly believes in copyright laws, and retains copyright on the Gardens. Your pages,

copyright on them. Cyborganic is hatching plans to have your copyright
automatically listed along with ours. Stay tuned.

you can view by day, or run your own preferences with an analogue
form. These will be protected so that no one may view your stats
except you. We will notify you as soon as it's available. At that
time you will be able to view statistics from the past, so don't worry
about losing any data. It's all being logged. Stay tuned!
