`    What we're all about . . .
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

  Welcome to  RAGE , a brand new ANSI group, we unlike some other groups
are not really interested in the typical ANSI group wars. We just want a nice 
quiet group where we can enjoy other people's art.  So there are no big flame 
wars to worry about!  Basically anyone can join RAGE , all you need is our 
handy Application Generator, (which should be with this unless someone
gave this out seperatly ;)  ) Fill this out and return the .APP file to us
on THE DRAGON'S DEN BBS in Brantford, Ontario -  519-756-7506. If you are not
local to The Dragon's Den, then you can always send it to at one of our handy 
support sites listed in SUPPORT.TXT. Our rules for getting in are simple, 
you must have 1) Talent, I'm sorry but not everyone has talent
*however, we unlike most ANSI groups will look again at a new app if you 
re submit (we ask that you wait 1 month before sending us a new one!) and 
we will base our decision on the new .app* This gives you room to improve, 
if you feel like you would like to find out why you didn't get in please don't
hesitate to leave e-mail for your area representive for RAGE, the reps's 
names can be found in our MEMBER.TXT (which is our membership list).

  How we are different from other ANSI groups:

Well, we are different in a couple of ways first, if you are not into dark, 
depressing, evil ANSI's or pics that's fine, in fact we are always on the 
lookout for good artists who do not have to draw skulls to achieve their 
effect. However we also do some of the dark ones too! We also accept text
files of stories, poems. There is a seperate section for .LIT (literature) 
files in the app. gen. so please fill in the .LIT section.

Also we are diverse, we accept ANSI, RIP, VGA graphics, as well as MUSIC,
and Programming! So we enjoy having members for every thing!
