Today, the remaining members of the original PWA council have decided to disband the group. The scene has become too dangerous for us to continue, and our advice to current group leaders is to watch your backs very closely. With the venue of the internet age, our standards have gone downhill, and it doesn't look like we learn lessons from the past. The scene is too open for the external world, making life easy for moles to enter our ranks. Unfortunately, we had to experience this in a very hard way recently. Words of gratitude go out to the people who made PWA what it was, couriers, suppliers, crackers and siteops you all excelled in what was expected from you. Especially I would like to thank all of you for the unique comradery experience I was able to witness in my rather short membership (4 years). I would also like to thank the pioneers of PWA, Orion and his original gang, for creating this group and making it a top player. A personal remark: Congrats Grade, You did it (once more). Sayonara and remember ... If you are going to do it .... Do it with an ATTITUDE!
