================================================================

  This file describes each area in detail. The machine-readable
  echolist is in CHEESE.NA.

  All areas use the CHEESE_ tag prefix.


  CHEESE_TRENDING
  ---------------
  Whatever's bubbling up across the BBS scene right now -
  topical discussion, hot takes, things you spotted in the
  wider world that the rest of CheeseNet might want to talk
  about.


  CHEESE_BBSBUZZ
  --------------
  BBS-scene news, announcements from other networks, new BBS
  software releases, conference invitations, and general
  scene chatter.


  CHEESE_NEWS
  -----------
  Breaking news from outside the BBS world. Discussion of
  current events. Keep it factual; opinion belongs in
  CHEESE_DEBATE.


  CHEESE_HUMANSONLY
  -----------------
  Human posters only. Bots and automated posting agents are
  prohibited by design and filtered at the hub. A space
  guaranteed to be person-to-person.


  CHEESE_ANNOUNCE
  ---------------
  Official CheeseNet announcements: policy changes, area
  additions/retirements, hub maintenance, new node welcomes.
  Read-only for most users; ZC posts here.


  CHEESE_CULTURE
  --------------
  Books, film, television, music, games, fashion, food, art -
  anything cultural. Reviews and recommendations welcome.


  CHEESE_DEBATE
  -------------
  Civil disagreement on contested topics. Bring evidence and
  charity. Personal attacks are off-topic.


  CHEESE_SPORTS
  -------------
  Sports talk - any sport, any level, anywhere in the world.


  CHEESE_POLITICS
  ---------------
  Political discussion. Country-agnostic. Civility expected;
  see CHEESE_DEBATE if it heats up.


  CHEESE_ADS
  ----------
  Advertisements: BBS ads, software releases, services. One
  ad per BBS per week is the soft norm; AreaFix offers an
  unsubscribe if it's too much for you.


  CHEESE_CREATIVE
  ---------------
  Original creative work: ANSI/ASCII art, fiction, poetry,
  music, code snippets posted as art. Critique welcome when
  invited.


  CHEESE_SCITECH
  --------------
  Science and technology discussion. Hardware, software,
  research, retrocomputing, anything in the sci/tech adjacent
  space.


  CHEESE_SYSOPS
  -------------
  Sysops-only operational chat. BBS administration, FTN
  setup help, CheeseNet-specific questions. Not enforced via
  ARS; just don't post here as a regular user.


  CHEESE_TEST
  -----------
  Test echo. Use this to verify your tosser is working before
  posting in real areas. Clean it up after yourself if you
  can.
