DOSee pronounced dos/see, is our emulator used to run MS-DOS based software in your web browser.

MS-DOS (Microsoft DOS) was the primary operating system used by PCs during the 1980s to the early 1990s and is the precursor to Microsoft Windows.


DOSee is a slimmed down, modified port of The Emularity.

The Emularity is a multi-platform JavaScript emulator that supports the running of software for legacy computer platforms in a web browser. It is the same platform that's running emulation on the Internet Archive.

EM-DOSBox is a discontinued, high-performance JavaScript port of DOSBox that is applied by The Emularity for its emulation of the MS-DOS platform.

DOSee uses BrowserFS ZipFS and ZipFS Extras to simulate zip file archives as hard disks within EM-DOSBox.

DOSBox is the most popular MS-DOS emulator in use today and is frequently used by commercial game publishers to run games from their back-catalogues on modern computers.


DOSee, built on The Emularity, EM-DOSBox and DOSBox. Capture screenshot and save function built on canvas-toBlob.js.

If you would like to participate in the │ │ further enhancement of RCN, or if you would like to subscribe to our │ │ mailing list, please send E-Mail to [email protected]. │ │ │ │ On December 26, 1995, Chris Eden, better known as Spyder-X on the │ │ net, passed away.

Though in my opinion, e-mags aren't very important, just █ █ fun to read when you are bored, but between INQ and you, I gotta go █ █ with INQ. Not because they are so much better, but because of the █ █ content in RCN. You treat small, no-name groups as if they are worth █ █ mentioning. We see a million little, crappy internet groups appear and █ █ disappear, and nobody cares. Why? Because there was no point to them █ █ in the first place. So until you start covering things worth █ █ mentioning, besides some no-named couriering group, that I have never █ █ seen a file tagged by on PC, XF, or Akira... █ █ █ █ Dear Reader, █ █ █ █ You know why the scene is filled with so many egoistical people? █ █ Because you have to be in a big group to get noticed, and if you're █ █ not, you're a "lamer" and aren't worth mentioning. What these "lamers" █ █ tend to do is make their own groups so they can get started in the █ █ scene. That's called ambition, and though it often fails, it deserves █ █ recognition. If you think of yourself as a person more elite than the █ █ content of these groups, you should feel good about yourself, it is █ █ your level that these groups are trying to reach. Perhaps greater █ █ recognition of these smaller groups will bring more people into the █ █ "elite" scene as we know it, and maybe someday yield an awesome █ █ supplier or a kick-ass courier to YOUR group. █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █ █ █ █ █ Dear RCN, █ █ █ █ Reading Issue #7 I notice emphasis on Windows 95. I thought real men █ █ use no Windows 95. Ar! Ar! What gives? █ █ █ █ Dear Reader, █ █ █ █ Heheheh, well Windows 95 seems to be the operating environment of the █ █ future. I would refine your hypothesis of real men NOT using Windows █ █ 95 to "Real men use Windows 95 on a Pentium 100 with 32 megs of RAM and █ █ a 2 gig hard drive" - Note that under that hypothesis, I am by no means █ █ a real man, but I think my point has been made. If you offer Windows █ █ 95 a hefty enough system, RA RA!! It'll push some real multitasking █ █ speed! I say get used to Windows 95, it's an awesome improvement over █ █ 3.1, and heck, as long as we can still access MS-DOS, s'all good, █ █ right? ;-) █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █ █ █ █ █ Dear RCN, █ █ █ █ I went into #hybrid and there were about 10 people there (maybe I came █ █ at a good time, I dunno). So I asked them to dispel the rumors that █ █ they were dead. They attribute their temporary lack of releases to the █ █ post-Christmas season, saying that software companies do not usually █ █ release any games after Christmas, as few people would buy them; █ █ therefore HBD is also not releasing much during this time. █ █ -Apprentice (no affils) █ █ █ █ Dear Reader, █ █ █ █ Again, I hate to use my own group as an example, it always sounds █ █ biased, but I'll say this much. Legacy has had no problems releasing █ █ games this year. Usually the programs we'll find right after Christmas █ █ are more like compilations of older games, but nonetheless, they are █ █ still store releases. We still find games that aren't compilations, █ █ usually stuff that was hard to crack and groups just skipped, so we'll █ █ go in there with our cracking force and try a bit harder the second █ █ time around. Using Christmas as an excuse doesn't work. There's █ █ always more to release. Pre-Christmas, we find the huge store █ █ releases like Warcraft II and the like. Post-Christmas, we find █ █ releases from the smaller companies.. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▄ ▄▄▀ ▄ ■ ▄▀ ▄▄▓▓▀ ▄ ▀▄▀░▒▓▓▌▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▓▓▌▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▀▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▀▐▌▐░▒▒ ▄ ▄▄ ▄ ▄▀▄▀░▒▒▓ ▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▀▄ ▄▒▀▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄ ▄▄ ▄ ▀▄ ▓░▄ █▒▌░▒▀▄ ▀▄▄▄░ ■▐░▒▌▀▀▄▀▀■▀▀▓▀▓▄▀▄▀▀█▓▀▄▀▄▄■ ▀▄▒▓▓▄ ▀▓█▀▄▀▀▀▀■ ▄▀▄▄■▒▄ ▄▓▄ ▓ █ █░▌▀▄░▒▌█▀░▒▓ ▀▀█░▀▀▀▄█░▒▓▄ ▀▄▄▒▓▄░▄▄▀▄░▒▓▌▐▐░▒▀▄ ▄▓ ▄ ▄█░▒▓▄ ▄░▒▓▌▐▌▐▒▓▀▀ █▓▐▌▐ ▌█ ░░▒ ▐░▌▒▐▌██▀▄░▒▀█░▒▀▀▄ ░░▒ ▀░▓▀ █░▒ ▐▐░▄▀▄░▒▌▌▄░▒▀█░▒▀▀▄▐░▒ ▐▌░░▌▓█ █▓ ▌▐░░▐▌▐░▌░ ░ ▌▐░ ░▒ ░▄▀░▓▓▐▌▐░░ ░▀▄▐▌▐░▌ ■░▌▐▌▐ ░▐▌░▒ ▀▄▀ ▐▌░▌ ▄■ ░ ▓█ █▓▐ ▐█▒░▄ ░ ▓▐░░▒▄▄■▐█▐▐░▒▀ ░▒▀▀▓▐ ░▌▓██▓▐ ░▌ ▄░▀░▌▐ ░█▐▌▐░▒▀ ▄▀▀▄ ▌░ █▌▐░▌▓██ █░■ ░█▄░ ▄▀▄█▄▀░░▀ ▐ ░ ■▀░░▄▄▀▀▄ ■▄▀▄███■ ▄░▄█▀▄█▓▌■ ░▌ ▀■▀░░▄▄▀▀▄■▄░▀ ▀░▀░▓█▌ ■ ▄▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▀ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▀ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ ■ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Bullet Wound █ █ Subject : Bullet Wound Affiliation : DMN/DCC █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Q : In RCN #09, Fallout's interview quoted that you took over #NFS, █ █ mass deoped everyone, held #NFS hostage and asked for sites. Are █ █ Fallout's words true? █ █ █ █ A : No, the day before the takeover of #NFS, I received a trojan from █ █ someone using the nick tKLP. This file was called "nbc-t.zip". I █ █ unzipped the program, and ran it assuming that it was a nbc file █ █ tagger. I ran it and poof. My c: drive went, but I was still █ █ able to switch to an mIRC Window because Windows was on my other █ █ hard drive. I then told Fallout that I would be gone for a while █ █ because I needed to fix my computer. I did not log on the Net █ █ for two days. After I had shut off my computer, there was no way █ █ to get back into Windows 95 until I got the original CD from my █ █ friend Carcnoid. Carcnoid then asked me if I was online because █ █ #Demolition was just taken over by someone called Bullet Wound. I █ █ knew it was not me since my computer was down, so it had to be █ █ someone else. I suspected that the person taking over channels in █ █ my name had to be either Phatman or Flake. Ever since I got on █ █ the Net 7 months ago, they have been trying to fuck with me. █ █ █ █ Q : How did you narrow down the suspects to two people, Phatman and █ █ Flake? █ █ █ █ A : I got back on the Net 2 days later, and I saw someone online with █ █ my nickname, [-bW-]. I said to the impostor, "FUCK YOU!" It had █ █ to be Flake because he did not have call waiting. I called Flake █ █ on his voice line and asked him why his data line was busy. He █ █ told me his sister was talking on the phone. I didn't believe him █ █ so I got my friend Tranq to 3way 611 and test the line for █ █ difficulties, and we found out immediately that it was a modem on █ █ the line, not his sister talking with a friend. Flake was █ █ responsible for taking many channels that I am not aware of. █ █ █ █ Q : How did Flake impersonate you to get ops? Did he have access to █ █ your account? █ █ █ █ A : No, I am using a Cybergate Slip/PPP account to access the Net. █ █ From there, I telnet to my shells. With mIRC, you can change your █ █ real name, alias, etc. Cybergate is also composed of about 5000 █ █ accounts of wich 4500 are cracked. █ █ █ █ Q : How do you feel about Flake hurting your reputation? █ █ █ █ A : I have been working hard at getting my reputation back up. █ █ Distinct understood that it was not me because they think I was █ █ honest or some shit like that. Demolition believed me with any █ █ explanation and Nokturnal Trading Alliance did not really care. █ █ The only two groups that cared were aCe and NFS. Both groups █ █ kicked me out and did not seem to want me back. █ █ █ █ Q : Why do you think that aCe and NFS did not believe your story? █ █ █ █ A : I really don't know. I knew Fallout from AKA and I would have █ █ though that he would understand. I guess people from DMN are more █ █ understanding. Besides, why would I take over sooooooo many █ █ channels? What for? To prove that I am a big man? I already █ █ know I am :) j/k. █ █ █ █ Q : What is your opinion of Fallout and NFS now that you got kicked █ █ out of that group for something you apparently did not do? █ █ █ █ A : Fallout is cool I guess, and it must really suck for him because █ █ take overs suck. Since he wants me out, that's fine with me, but █ █ if he wants me back, it'll also be fine. I have no personal █ █ grudges with him. He is just trying to make the scene a little █ █ better. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Marbz █ █ Subject : dCS Affiliation : dCS President █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Q : What is Designated Couriering Specialists? █ █ █ █ A : dCS is another courier group, not just any courier group because █ █ we are a group that tries to get shit done while having fun. dCS █ █ was created by a few ex members of DiC. I was a senior in DiC and █ █ I really didn't like the way it was being run. They were lazy at █ █ the time, so Format, Cluster, and I decided to go on our own. We █ █ specialize in couriering and couriering only. █ █ █ █ Q : Was the leadership in the old DiC too much for you guys? Would it █ █ not be easier to reform DiC than to start a new group? █ █ █ █ A : To reform DiC at the time would have been impossible because it █ █ was too fucked up. Nobody knew who the leaders were and we didn't █ █ even have a site setup. However, I do NOT hold any grudges at ANY █ █ DiC members. █ █ █ █ Q : Why has dCS specialized in one area? Many new courier groups feel █ █ that being able to release games, utilities, consoles, code demos, █ █ and making art is good because it makes them versatile. █ █ █ █ A : Well we started out as couriers, and we are not dumb, so we are █ █ sticking with couriering... and COURiERiNG ONLY! █ █ █ █ Q : Is dCS official couriers for anyone? █ █ █ █ A : We are not official couriers for any groups right now, but we are █ █ negotiating with many groups and we do not want to be officials █ █ for a group unless they have proven themselves. We don't want to █ █ make any mistakes and rush into things because that's how groups █ █ die and we don't wanna do that. █ █ █ █ Q : What are the requirements to for new dCS members? █ █ █ █ A : Since dCS is a new group, we are taking more and more members each █ █ day. Once we get everything organized, we will be making possible █ █ cuts. Couriers must be able to courier at least 150+ megs per █ █ week. We are strictly 0-3 day, no exceptions! █ █ █ █ Q : What are your futrue plans for dCS? Will DCS ever split off to █ █ being a release group? █ █ █ █ A : My goal is to insure the survival of dCS. I plan on molding it █ █ into a very respectable group with good hard working members. █ █ As for releasing, I do not plan on releasing under dCS. █ █ █ █ Q : How do you plan to make dCS a great solid group? █ █ █ █ A : I make sure that all members are satisfied and if anyone needs █ █ anything, I always try to help. Dedication will help us in the █ █ long run and we know that it is the key to success. █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █ █ █ █ █ Designated Couriering Specialists is definitely something to look into. █ █ Even at such a young age, the group leaders show maturity, which is █ █ often a rarity even among older and more established groups.

I do █ █ however see you guys playing well in the release scene. What is █ █ that all about? █ █ █ █ A : Motiv8 has been known as a popular site and courier group, but it █ █ is boring to just courier so I wanted something new to do and █ █ decided releasing would be fun. We will release more and more as █ █ we are one of the oldest NET groups and we can crack. Many groups █ █ release software that must use cdemulator or fakecd. █ █ █ █ Q : Many feel that a courier group that also releases is spreading █ █ itself thin. Do you feel that is the case with Motiv8? █ █ █ █ A : That is correct, many of us concentrate on releasing instead of █ █ couriering. We don't concentrate so much yet as we still do both. █ █ █ █ Q : Isn't it better to do a single job well than to do two jobs in a █ █ mediocre fashion? Is Motiv8 a release group or a courier group? █ █ █ █ A : We are both since we have members that can do both things. I have █ █ been in the scene ever since the c64 days. Back in those days, █ █ groups had many jobs and people like doing more than one thing. █ █ █ █ Q : Surely it would be foolish to compare the c64 days to today, would █ █ you not agree? █ █ █ █ A : Many of the good leaders in the scene were around back in the c64 █ █ days, and use their knowledge from that scene to help the current █ █ scene. Remember that the c64 built the piracy scene of today. █ █ █ █ Q : Is it true that the PC scene started the competitive nature? █ █ █ █ A : Yes and no. The PC scene is definitely a branch of their own, but █ █ many of the ideas were brought about from other earlier scenes. █ █ █ █ Q : What will you do in order to get Motiv8 out of it's slump? █ █ █ █ A : I don't think Motiv8 is in a slump as only new people claim us █ █ dead. We all have our ups and downs. People must remember that █ █ many of the Motiv8ers have been in the scene for many years and █ █ they don't see the fun in the same way and therefore they are more █ █ lazy. We will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary very soon. █ █ █ █ Q : How long have you been in the scene, and could you give us █ █ specific examples of how the c64 scene helped Motiv8 grow? █ █ █ █ A : I have been in the scene for nearly 13 years and I have learned a █ █ lot about group leadership and quality. I know how to handle ugly █ █ situations like group wars. █ █ █ █ Q : Am I sensing a move of Motiv8 more into Releasing and less into █ █ Couriering? █ █ █ █ A : Motiv8 will do a lot more releasing in the future, but we will █ █ still courier because it's fun for a lot of the members. █ █ █ █ Q : How did you resolve group wars in the past? █ █ █ █ A : I killed 2 groups back in the c64 time! One begged for peace and █ █ we split the other one to pieces. The rest died in a week so it █ █ wasn't really a war, just a skirmish. █ █ █ █ Q : What are your group killing tactics? █ █ █ █ A : We killed the group X-Factor by blocking their phone lines and we █ █ threatened them with shit. The rest just cried for peace. █ █ █ █ Q : How did you block phone lines? █ █ █ █ A : At that time, we had friends in the telephone companies and also █ █ we could also use an AT&T Card and then just let the phone hang. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Fallout █ █ Subject : Need for Speed (NFS) Affiliation : NFS President █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Q : NFS has been doing great the past week by releasing software that █ █ has helped the scene continually grow.

We have █ █ not kicked anyone out besides the people who decided to join SNC, █ █ Syndicate. █ █ █ █ Q : NFS has been putting out a lot of good software. However, many of █ █ them turned out to be "dupes". For example, SoftRam 96 released █ █ this week was actually just SoftRam 95. What caused such a big █ █ blunder, and how will you prevent such blunders in the future? █ █ █ █ A : Well, tKLP told us that he too had SoftRam 96, and that NFS should █ █ hurry up and release it so we could beat his group, RoR. I later █ █ found out that he set the whole thing up to screw NFS. We trusted █ █ him and paid the price. █ █ █ █ Q : Why would a respected person such as tKLP do such a lame thing as █ █ sabotaging another group? █ █ █ █ A : tKLP did it because he thinks he is all that + more, but he is █ █ really just an asshole. He's already got a really bad reputation. █ █ █ █ Q : What will tKLP gain out of hurting NFS? █ █ █ █ A : He has always acted like an asshole, and he even applied to NFS to █ █ be our U.S. Headquarters. We never let him in the group, which █ █ was *good* in the long run. █ █ █ █ Q : Do you feel that NFS will continue to grow in the future? If so, █ █ what are your future plans for NFS? █ █ █ █ A : I plan to make NFS rock solid, sort of like Razor, and to stay in █ █ the scene for a long time while having fun releasing a lot. █ █ █ █ Q : Since you want NFS to be like Razor, and Razor is a games group, █ █ will NFS ever specialize in games only? █ █ █ █ A : Yes, very soon, we have had offers from Demolition to become their █ █ sister games group and we are merging with PSH right now. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Raistlindr █ █ Subject : Kicked Out of fATE Affiliation : Ex-fATE █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Q : Were you kicked out of fATE last week, or did you willingly leave █ █ the group? █ █ █ █ A : I told Anti Derivative 4 days ago that I was no longer in fATE and █ █ I thought he understood that. █ █ █ █ Q : Why did you tell him you were no longer in fATE? █ █ █ █ A : For many reason, Anti Derivative and g0d were never online to take █ █ care of any problems. Leodlion is one of the most childish people █ █ I know on the NET. There were also too many people in fATE that █ █ did nothing for the group. I also did not like how everytime █ █ there was a problem, they would just kick you out of the channel █ █ and not allow you to defend yourself. █ █ █ █ Q : If Anti Derivative and g0d were not online to take care of their █ █ many problems, then who did? How is fATE still alive? █ █ █ █ A : In theory, the other seniors did, but that was one of the main █ █ problems, not much of things were taken care of. █ █ █ █ Q : Why do you think that Leodlion is childish? He is a married adult █ █ with kids. █ █ █ █ A : His attitude is a real turn off. He treats people with little or █ █ no respect. Whenever he disagrees with someone, instead of █ █ speaking to them rationaly or allowing the other side to defend █ █ themselves, he would just kick them out of the channel. He has █ █ done a lot against me. When I was still in fATE, whenever he █ █ realized that I was correct, he would never admit that he was █ █ wrong, but he woudl simply ban me. I felt that as long as I was █ █ in fATE, I should never be taken off the bots, much less banned █ █ from them. That is just one example of his many childish ways. █ █ He did not like the fact that when I was questioned, that I would █ █ defend myself and in turn, question his actions. █ █ █ █ Q : What did you state? █ █ █ █ A : Well, I am a very good "Warez Encyclopedia". I know all the files █ █ that have been released. A Demolition senior came and asked me █ █ if "Such and such a program" was already released. I knew that it █ █ was not out yet, but then Leodlion decided to join the █ █ conversation. He started ordering me to log off the Net and call █ █ Park Central to dupe check. The Demolition senior saw no need for █ █ it. I believe that Leodlion is bad for the group; Anti Derivative █ █ is not too good either if he cannot take care of his own duties. █ █ g0d is fairly stupid also, he tries and takes over #MALiCE a few █ █ days ago, and in turn, that irritates MALiCE and then they take █ █ over #Fatefiles. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▄▀▀▀▄▀▄██▄▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▄ ■ ▄▀▄ ▄ ▄ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀▀▄▄▄ ▄▀▄░ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▀▄█ ▀ █ ░▀ ░ ▓███▓▀▓█▄▄▄▄▄▄█▀▄▀▄█░ ▓███▀▄▀▄■▄▄▄███▀▀▀▀█▄▄ ▄ ▄░██▌▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▀▄ ▐█▓▐▌▐█░ ▀▐█░ ▓█▀▄▀▄ ▄▀▀▓█▀▄▀ ▀░██▌░▒▀▓ ▄░▀░███▓▀▄▀▀▀▀ ▄▀█ ▀ ░░█ ▓█▓▀▄▄▀▀ ■▓█▄ █▓░▀ █░▌ ■▄░█▌▐▓ ▄ ░▌▄▀░▄▀▓▄▀▀▀▐░█▀▀▀ ▀▄ ▄░ ▓█▀▄▀▄█▀▀ ░▄ █▓▐▌▐▒░░█▀▄▀▄▄██░▄▄▀█ █▓ █ ▒░ ▄▀▀░░█ ▌▀ ░██ ▌ ▀▀▄█▄▀█ ▒░ ▓█▄▀▄▀░ ▌█▀▄ ░░ ▌░▀ ▓█▓ █ ▓▒▐░▀▄░█▀ ■▀█░▌▓ █▓ ▄ ▓▒▀ ▀▐▒░░▌▒▐▌▐░▌░▄▄▓███▓ ▄ ▒▌▓███▓▐▌▐▒ ▓▐▌▐▒░▌ ▄▄▄▀█▓▐▌▐▓▐▐▐▒░▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▐▒ █▓▐▌▐█ █ █▓▒▒░▐ ▌▐▒ ▓██████▓ █ ▓▌▓███▓ ▌▐▌▓█ ▄ ▓▒░▄▀▀▄▄▄■▀█ ▌▐▌▓▐▌▓▒▄ ▀▄▐▌ ▄▀▄ █ ▀ ▀▀█▓▓▌■■ ▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐ █ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▄▀▀▀▀▀ ▀ ■ ▀ ▀▄▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▄ ■▀ ▀ ▀▀ ▀■ ▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ■ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀■▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀ ■▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Author : Rebel Chicken █ █ Subject : Spyder-X █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ The following is a letter from sent by Spyder-X's father to Ratphour : █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █ █ █ █ █ Dear Brian, █ █ █ █ I hate to be the one to tell you this but Chris passed away on █ █ December 26, 1995.

(NASDAQ: NOVL) have announced what may be █ █ the largest settlement ever in a software piracy case. The two software █ █ giants said they have reached a settlement with Scott Morris, the █ █ operator of the computer bulletin board known as the Assassin's Guild █ █ Bulletin Board Service. █ █ █ █ The deal calls for Morris to pay $70,300 in cash and forfeit computer █ █ hardware valued at more than $40,000. Morris also reportedly agreed to █ █ assist Microsoft and Novell in their continuing BBS investigations. █ █ █ █ The Lexington, Kentucky-based Assassin's Guild promoted itself as the █ █ worldwide headquarters for two large software pirate groups, Pirates █ █ with an Attitude and Razor 1911. █ █ █ █ In April 1995 Newsbytes reported that US Marshals and investigators for █ █ Microsoft and Novell had raided Morris' residence, charging him with █ █ illegal reproduction and distribution of copyrighted software. Law █ █ enforcement officials said the Assassin's Guild had been offering █ █ hundreds of pirated software products for downloading at no charge, █ █ including programs published by Microsoft and Novell. █ █ █ █ US Marshals seized 13 computers, 11 modems, a satellite dish, nine █ █ gigabytes of online data and more than 40 gigabytes of offline data █ █ dating back to 1992, according to Microsoft. █ █ █ █ Jim Lowe, Microsoft corporate attorney, said online piracy is a growing █ █ concern for software publishers. Microsoft has often announced it is █ █ committed to put a crimp in pirate operations. █ █ █ █ Both Microsoft and Novell are members of the Business Software Alliance █ █ (BSA), an industry alliance formed to promote the growth of the software █ █ industry through education and enforcement initiatives. According to █ █ Bob Kruger, director of enforcement at BSA, the Assassin's Guild █ █ settlement sends a strong message to pirates. "It sends a clear message █ █ to operators of bulletin boards who are illegally distributing █ █ copyright-protected software that they will be investigated and sued, or █ █ criminally prosecuted." █ █ █ █ Following the raid BSA spokesperson Kim Willard told Newsbytes the █ █ pirated software on the Assassin's Guild computers included Microsoft █ █ Windows, Novell Netware, Wordperfect word processor software and █ █ numerous games and utilities. █ █ █ █ Before the settlement was reached Morris faced potential penalties that █ █ included up to $100,000 in fines and up to five years in jail if █ █ convicted. █ █ █ █ In 1994, the last year for which complete figures are available, an █ █ estimated $15.2 billion in revenue was lost by the software publishing █ █ industry as a result of software piracy, according to the BSA. The █ █ organization estimates that in the US alone 35 percent of the business █ █ software in use is pirated, resulting in almost $3 billion in losses to █ █ the industry. Loss figures refer to the retail value of the pirated █ █ software if it were purchased legitimately. █ █ █ █ The BSA maintains a toll-free hotline to report suspected software █ █ piracy and also has an e-mail address for that purpose. The group can █ █ be contacted at 800-688-2721 or [email protected]. █ █ █ █ Microsoft and Novell also maintain hotlines and e-mail addresses for █ █ users with questions about the legitimacy of those company's products. █ █ The Microsoft number is 800-786-3448 or you can send e-mail to █ █ [email protected]. Inquiries to Novell go to 800-747-2837 or █ █ [email protected]. █ █ █ █ (Jim Mallory/19960112/Press contact: Greg Shaw, Microsoft, 206-882-8080 █ █ or Ron Barker, Novell, 81-429-7811 or Diane Smiroldo, BSA, █ █ 202-87-5500/PIRATE960112/PHOTO) █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █ █ █ █ █ The Business Software Alliance (BSA) claims that $15.2 billion in █ █ revenue was lost by the software publishing industry as a result of █ █ software piracy. BSA should stand for Bull Shitting Alliance, not only █ █ are those figures outrageous, but there is no possible way to derive an █ █ accurate numerical figure on how much was pirated. From my better █ █ judgement, and since I do know just a tad about piracy, I would like to █ █ say that 80% of pirated software is not even used. Of the 20% that is █ █ pirated, 99% would not have been bought anyways. For example, I █ █ downloaded "Hooves of Thunder" (when it was 0 day), and decided to try █ █ out the game. Not only did I feel the 22 disks was a complete waste of █ █ time, but I'm glad I did not shell out the $60 for some stupid ass horse █ █ betting game. If the Bull Shitting Alliance added $30-60 for every █ █ time I downloaded a game, then perhaps, $15.2 billion would seem rather █ █ small. I would probably be responsible for downloading a billion or two █ █ myself, but I have yet to extract, much less use, any of the software I █ █ download. █ █ █ █ I am ashamed to say this, but I have to admit, I buy software as █ █ much as I can afford. I only bought 2 programs, so don't start flaming █ █ me. I recently purchased Sim Tower and War Craft 2. Why did I buy Sim █ █ Tower? First off, it was first pirated by Genesis sometime last year, █ █ that means that it is OLD, and I don't know where to get OLD warez; and █ █ since the game was highly complicated, a manual was a necessity for real █ █ game play. I downloaded War Craft 2, the beta version by Hybrid, and █ █ really enjoyed the game, so I decided to shell out the $59.99 and bought █ █ the game. There are many games and utilities that I would like to buy, █ █ if I only had the money. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Author : Hitex █ █ Subject : Lameness Forever █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ It's been a year since I gasped at a file listing full of pirated █ █ software; a year since I sat in front of my computer waiting hours on █ █ end for the line to free up so I could connect and see what it was all █ █ about; a year since I flagged my first download just to find that I █ █ didn't have enough of this awkward word they called "credits," something █ █ I needed to have before I could download some hard core K-rad WaReZ. █ █ It's been a year since I logged onto my first warez BBS. I thought I █ █ was the coolest person around, I had access to over 100 megs of software █ █ that could have cost me a lot of money! Aah, yes, those were the lamer █ █ days, the days of confusion. I remember looking through the main menu, █ █ not knowing what half the options did, but noticeing something to the █ █ nature of "Other BBS #s." I quickly looked through the list, jotted █ █ down all the numbers, and said to myself "WOW!! All these boards, I can █ █ get ANYTHING now!" I then traveled over to the boards on my list, █ █ having given up because of that stupid "credits" message that I didn't █ █ know what to do about. █ █ █ █ A first try at success: █ █ █ █ ATDT2853256... CONNECT 2400... LOGIN: <NEW>... I made my way through █ █ the login procedure, entered my real address, being I wasn't too bright, █ █ my real phone number, surely the sysop would want to voice validate me, █ █ and then I was presented with a new screen. It asked me to define █ █ acronyms. Hmm... RiSC: <SIMPLE!>.. "Reduced Instruction Set Computing" █ █ PWA.. hmm... "Dunno" FSW "Dunno" ACiD "Dunno" NAFTA "North American █ █ Free Trade Agreement..." The list continued, filled mostly with "Dunno" █ █ and other ignorant responses. I was confused when the next day I █ █ logged on and was presented with yet another new screen, saying to the █ █ liking of "Get the fuck off my board, lamah." Sheesh, how vulgar! █ █ █ █ I got lucky, I knew something about the Internet, and found out █ █ about a "WaReZ Site." I tried it, and it was amazing, I didn't find █ █ any of that weird "credits" word, and leeched all I wanted (meaning █ █ everything). I saw some site lists, got them, and it said to send in █ █ some sites for more in return. Of course, like any other idiot, I █ █ sent in some fake sites, just threw in some numbers that looked good. █ █ Most of the lists told me to "Get the fuck off my list, lamah," but █ █ there were always the dumb ones that sent me something back. I would █ █ anxiously try to connect to every site, most didn't work, and half the █ █ ones that did work had directories too hard for me to change to. I █ █ would be left with about 3 working sites after the rest were sifted out. █ █ █ █ Take two - A first try at success: █ █ █ █ Not a month later, I got a friend of mine with all too much time on █ █ his hands to start downloading all the software, and I started a BBS on █ █ a brand new $45 Zoltrix no error-correcting or compression 14.4 modem. █ █ My friend would upload all the warez that he would get, and the users █ █ would download them, free of charge, none of that "credits" bull shit. █ █ I learned a lot from that little BBS, that soon became one of the █ █ biggest boards in my area, biggest single-node board, that is. I found █ █ out that there were some really nice people that would release software █ █ for boards like mine. Well sure they were nice, you would have to be a █ █ really nice person to just spend time sending out software to people! █ █ I decided to make a group of my own, Brutus and I, to release some █ █ software, kind of help the cause a bit. Not aware of anything like dupe █ █ checking, we just released what we got, most of the stuff was from years █ █ before, but we took our coder, Xenon, he coded a nice little EXE for us, █ █ and we were off. Our first release was Telemate 4.20, cracked, which █ █ I'll point out we released BEFORE any other group, but it made it no █ █ farther than my own area code. Still, Tsunami, from the late FSW, █ █ called Brutus and I up, and asked us to merge into his group. This was █ █ where it all began... █ █ █ █ A look to the bright side: █ █ █ █ Surely we merged, we nearly peed in our pants when we got the offer! █ █ I wouldn't say I was lame back then, more ignorant than lame, perhaps █ █ unaware would be the best word, but I'll call it lame for now, because █ █ I think I was an example of your average "lamer" from today. I didn't █ █ really know about groups, I didn't totally know what they did, I had █ █ yet to get on any boards with more than one line, and all I knew about █ █ the 'net was that it had FTP sites, I had once tried IRC, I tried to █ █ join #warez, but couldn't get in because it was Invite Only, so I just █ █ gave up. When I got into FSW, Tsunami introduced me to IRC, I learned █ █ a bit about how to use it, and I was off. Of course I assumed that I █ █ could get into any group now, I was coo like dat, da pimp o' da █ █ neighbawhood, I could do ANYTHING! My position in FSW wasn't really █ █ stated yet, I assumed that I would try to get FSW releases, though. I █ █ think Tsunami must have seen that I could lead a group well, something █ █ like that, because I was about as confused as, well, a lamer. I found █ █ out that groups actually had channels of their own, they didn't all just █ █ hang out in #warez, so I joined #Any_group_I_Could_Think_Of. █ █ █ █ I soon found out that #warez5 and #warez7 were often open to the █ █ public. I joined the channels just to find a bunch of people begging █ █ for new software, nobody really getting what they want, half of them █ █ getting kicked out by people that seemed to think hey were better than █ █ them, nobody really getting anything done. Tsunami once found me in one █ █ of these channels and told me why I shouldn't hang there, how I would █ █ never get anything through them. I took his advice, thank goodness. █ █ █ █ I remember applying to fATE, ZillionZ, PWA, and RTS, not that I knew █ █ what I was applying as, not that I really cared. In fact, I didn't even █ █ know what the difference was between a Courier group and a Release █ █ group! When asked what I was applying as, I just said, "Uhh, I guess a █ █ distro BBS..." "How many nodes do you have?" "uhhh... 1, but I hope to █ █ get a second one within a month, I really do!" Then I wondered why I █ █ got kicked out only a few moments later. Tsunami knocked some sense █ █ into me, taught me exactly how a group ran, what the differences were █ █ between groups, and all the tricks of the trade. I was soon an FSW █ █ senior, FSW died, we started Vendetta, I was the vice president, and █ █ am now in Legacy as a vice president. All this started from one small █ █ FTP site that didn't push much more than about 5kb/s. █ █ █ █ A look back... █ █ █ █ Today, as I join #Warez5, just to think back on old times, I am █ █ amazed to see many of the same people I saw there about 9 months ago, █ █ still doing what they did then, still getting the same results. I just █ █ don't understand. Maybe it's my competitive spirit, maybe it's my need █ █ for improvement, but it took me no more than 5 months to get from a █ █ nobody in the scene to somebody who, in my humble opinion, is doing █ █ quite well from himself. How could these people, who I'm sure have been █ █ hanging out in the warez channels for longer than I can imagine, stay █ █ there, never improving their status, always staying the same? █ █ █ █ Given the existence of this highly competitive spirit in the scene, █ █ if you ever want to get on any of the bigger boards (i.e. the boards █ █ that actually have all 20 disks of a 20 disk release) you must give in. █ █ Maybe the scene isn't totally free. Maybe it just requires payment in █ █ the form of desire to help. I'm sure there are many of us that are in █ █ the scene so that when there's a program that we need coming out, we can █ █ get it, instead of having to shell out a ton of money in buying it. I'm █ █ quite happy with such people, and don't look down at them one bit. It █ █ happens to be that I'm involved in this business to have fun and █ █ compete, where they are in it for the software itself. However, if one █ █ wants to be in just to get software, he'll have to put out just a bit. █ █ Perhaps on a weekend when he has extra time, wait for a group to release █ █ and download the release right away, then send it to the board you want █ █ to download from. All it involves is a bit of dedication. █ █ █ █ The easiest road to success in the scene is joining a group. You █ █ might not feel like you're good enough to join the top groups, but there █ █ is a wealth of smaller groups ready to accept new applicants. Just █ █ don't expect to quit the smaller group for a bigger one once you've █ █ gotten more experience. If you join a group, you should be dedicated to █ █ it as it should be to you. The only excuse ever to leave a group is if █ █ the group dies, you strongly disagree with the values of the group and █ █ talking with the staff doesn't fix anything, or if the group merges █ █ into another. You should spend as much time choosing your group as they █ █ should evaluating you for a position. Just remember, this is all for █ █ fun, we're not in here to make money, or to fill egos. █ █ █ █ For those of us that aren't in it for the software or the █ █ competition, I often wonder why we stay. What's the point of staying in █ █ the scene if all you do all day is beg, beg, and beg some more, never █ █ getting any of what you ask for. The scene is one big cycle. The █ █ leaders of today may retire tomorrow. The members of yesterday will █ █ lead today, and the "lamers" of last night will take the place of the █ █ members today. I could never stay a lamer forever. The only thing that █ █ I fear is that our "lamers" aren't really lame, just uneducated, and █ █ they don't know HOW to excel in the scene. We all must start somewhere. █ █ Some of us, like myself, got lucky, and had an early chance, but for █ █ the group leaders out there, beware, the last person you kicked out of █ █ your channel for having a 1-node board might possibly be your █ █ competition's next store supplier or multi-node courier. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Author : Trite █ █ Subject : Courier groups in '96 █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ NOTE: The following does not necessarily represent the active views of █ █ RCN or its members. █ █ █ █ Greetings RCN readers!

RiSC has had the █ █ most superb courier team since the very beginning. They display their █ █ unparallelled ability to the scene on a daily basis. I have personally █ █ witnessed the amazing speed and gumption of a RiSC trader while leeching █ █ <grin> off of a RiSC distro site named "The Shallow Grave." At the █ █ time, the SysOps of this blazing 4 node board were Lord Rook and Gate █ █ Keeper. I first came to this BBS on a recommendation from a friend. █ █ When I got on this board I was truly amazed at the size and speed of it. █ █ Supplied by RiSC trader 'The Technomancer,' this was the fastest site I █ █ had ever been on. In the two months I was on this board, Techno had █ █ pumped in over 2.4 gigs of fast warez. I had a chance to talk to Techno █ █ a few times and he explained that being in a group like RiSC, almost █ █ demanded that he be the best, whether relying on personal ambition or █ █ not, Techno defined RiSC, to me, as the best couriering group in the █ █ world! █ █ █ █ Now let me rate RiSC. Although they definately do their job and do █ █ it very well, they are hard to find. In my 'career' on the net and in █ █ the PC scene, I have never heard of or seen a RiSC site, or a dedicated █ █ channel on IRC. This, to me, means they have a mail recruit system █ █ which, as I've expressed in the past, is not a good way to get in touch █ █ with the majority of warez people. I do realize that most RiSC members █ █ are in PWA and DOD, but I am sure that a lot of others don't know this █ █ and have no idea how to apply. So, my rating for RiSC is a 9.5. A █ █ better recruiting system would benefit the group as a whole and the █ █ boards they supply. █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █ █ █ ■ █ █ ■█ █ █ ▄███▄ █ █ ▄▄▄ ▄■▄ ■▀▀██████▀▀■▄▄ █ █ ▄███▌ ▀▀▄▄ ▄▄█ ██▄ █████ ▄▄ █ █ ▐███ ▀■ ███▌ ░ ▐███ ▐███▌ ▄██ ▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄ █ █ ▐███ ▌ ▒ ▐███ ▐▒▄ ███▌ ███ ███ ▒ ▐██▌ █ █ ▐███ ▄██▄█▓▌▐███ █▓▌ ███▌▄▌███ █▌███ ▀▓██▀▐██▌ █ █ ▐██▄■▄▄ ▀██▌███▌ ▄▄▄■▄██▌█ ███▐▓▌███▐█▀▀▐ ▀▀▀▀ █ █ ▐███ ▄▀▀■▄ ▌███■█▀▀ ███▌▀▌███▐▒▌███▄▄■▀■ ▀███▓ █ █ ▐███ ▀██▄▄▄▌████ ▄█▀ ███▌▓▌███▐░ ███ ▄▄█▀█▓█▄██ █ █ ▐███ ▐▓ ▐▀ ████▌ ▒▌▐███▌▒ ███ ▐███ ▌▀ ▌ ▄▄▄ █ █ ▐███ ▒ ▐█▓█▀ ░ ▀███▌░ ███ ████ ▄▄███▌ █ █ ▐██▓ ░ ■▓▌▒▌ ▌▓█▌ ▐███▌ ████▄▄▄▓█■▀▀█▀▌ █ █ ▐▓█▒ ▒▌░▌ ▒■▀ ▓████ ▀▀▓█▀ ▒▐ ▓ ■ █ █ ▐▒▌░ ░▌ ▌ ░ ▒▌▐▀▌■ ▒▌ ░▐ ▒ █ █ ▐░▌ ▌ ░▌ ▌ ░ ░ █ █ ▌ ▌ █ █ █ █ The next group I will be rating is fATE. fATE is the product of two █ █ groups that merged about a year ago: TiC and iLA.

MALiCE is one of the strongest █ █ groups in the scene right now, with some of the fastest traders ever, █ █ such as Winterhawk, and 187. MALiCE has been compared to the early days █ █ of RiSC, and is said to have one of the best couriering team ever █ █ assembled. The sheer determination and efficiency of this group has █ █ pushed them to the top, and their popularity grows almost on a daily █ █ basis. █ █ █ █ MALiCE has had a great year so far and is continuing to dominate the █ █ couriering scene among the newest releasers and traders. What I mean by █ █ new is the newly established groups, such as Legacy, Motiv8, and others. █ █ MALiCE doesn't seem to respect other groups, or potential applicants █ █ that much, though. When I entered their channel on an invite, I was █ █ abruptly kicked by Pericles with the reason "And you are...," this █ █ shows me that their rise to startum and dominance over other groups has █ █ gone directly to their heads. In my opinion, this is not a good way to █ █ handle people who are interested in the group. I just don't think they █ █ have respect for people, which is a major problem when recruiting. So, █ █ my rating for MALiCE is a 7. They have great couriering ability, but █ █ lack respect and patience, which, as proven in the past, can be █ █ disasterous. █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █ █ █ To recap, RiSC has accomplished everything possible, nothing less. █ █ fATE has the potential to rank with the best, they just need to plant █ █ their feet on the groupd, and hold on.

Legacy was quick to forgive us, and █ █ here's a quote from Rebel Chicken in a private conversation we had the █ █ day of the dupe : █ █ █ █ "For all I care, DiC helped the scene. There were a lot of people who █ █ were looking for the 4 disk rip from Legacy, so DiC helped put it back █ █ in circulation. Duping is not good, but it's not THAT BAD either. As █ █ long as you give credit to the original group that released it, then it █ █ is fine with me.

If the file that was duped was █ █ popular with the public anyways, then over all that release helped make █ █ a lot of people happy. People who play the game wouldn't really care if █ █ it came from Legacy or DiC, and both versions helped the scene over all. █ █ █ █ In closing, DiC apologizes to any bbs couriers who were nuked for █ █ uploading a dupe.

The problem isn't as big any more, probably partially due to the █ █ fact that there are less releases now that the year has ended. I have █ █ seen more and more couriering groups as opposed to release groups, which █ █ I will blame on the fact that it is often harder to coordinate a release █ █ group because there is more to worry about. Note that that in no way █ █ applies to the top couriering groups, who I'm sure have more work on █ █ their hands than release groups. I think that in general, though the █ █ main reason for having so many new groups flourish is that people aren't █ █ satisfied with their current position in a group, or, more specifically, █ █ aren't getting the respect that they expect when they are a part of a █ █ team. So I ask... "What should it feel like to be a member of a █ █ group?" █ █ █ █ When a member applies, he is usually greeted by a not-so-friendly █ █ crowd that somehow feels bigger than him. This is all egos, and I don't █ █ expect that to end, because after all, we're all human. The applicant █ █ will often spend in the range of thirty to sixty minutes waiting to get █ █ the application generator or just a flat out "no" response. If the █ █ applicant was lucky enough to experience the first, he'll promptly fill █ █ out the application and look for someone to send it to. As soon as that █ █ application is sent in, the prospective member has literally signed a █ █ pact saying that he will be dedicated to the specific group. This is █ █ what many group leaders never seem to understand, and is the point where █ █ the member will either serve the group, always feeling lowly, or will █ █ join, feel big for a bit, then run off and make his own group because █ █ he wasn't getting the respect he felt he deserved. █ █ █ █ I'm surprised that I have to say this, but a member is the most █ █ crucial thing to a group. The leadership often doesn't understand that, █ █ and assumes the member to be a slave that must complete his task for █ █ fear of being flogged. A member should have much say in the group. The █ █ only difference between a senior and a member should be that a senior is █ █ there to coordinate, as opposed to a member which is there to provide. █ █ Two completely different jobs, neither of which should take an excessive █ █ precedence over the other. A senior position, if the particular group █ █ even has one, is just a position given to somebody that would like to █ █ coordinate that has much experience in the group, possibly been with it █ █ from the start. What's even worse is when there's a group that has not █ █ just a council, but a Founder, Presidents, Vice Presidents, Seniors, █ █ Head Honchos, Division Honchos, and THEN members, assuming there's █ █ anybody left. I don't know about you, but being a member in that kind █ █ of group wouldn't feel too good. That leads me to believe that it is █ █ often better to be a member in a "normal" group than to be a senior in █ █ one with such a variety of positions. █ █ █ █ A member is a vital person in a group. Members need to get more █ █ respect in the scene, and begin to have a greater say in the activities █ █ of the group. We are often confused when we see members leave groups, █ █ and we assume that the member just wasn't dedicated, but this is often █ █ not the case. To all leaders : put yourselves in the position of a █ █ member sometimes, and think to yourself "If I were this guy, would I be █ █ getting the respect that I need? Would I have any power in what goes on █ █ in the group that I have dedicated myself to?" If either of your █ █ answers is no, it's time to make some changes in the structure of your █ █ group. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Author : Akira 7 █ █ Subject : tKLP: Stealing Members █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ I have noticed a certain trend in the scene lately. It is a trend █ █ that is not beneficial for anyone. Stealing members. Now, competition █ █ is good, but this is not.

The next message I received read █ █ as follows: "Could I interest you in a RoR membership?" My answer was a █ █ simple "No." I fear that others, possibly from other groups, will have █ █ a different answer.

If you looked at how many bans there are █ █ on aol.com, it is a pitiful sight. Are the bans necessary, are all AOL █ █ people lame? I say no. What is bad about people from another online █ █ service comeing to help spread our warez around and help us? Nothing. █ █ Are we trying to set back the IRC Civilization to that of the early 19th █ █ century of the US? Do we want to place a label on AOL and stereotype █ █ them all? If so, you're an "Idiot". AOL is a cheap and in most cases, █ █ free in all parts around the world. It reaches out to more people than █ █ IRC ever could. By letting AOL expand to IRC, the scene would only be █ █ reaching further heights of greatness because AOL has a lot of users to █ █ reach. Really, isn't that what we all want? To help people who are too █ █ new to help themselves and to spread the names Razor, Legacy, fATE, MC, █ █ and RiSC? I'm not saying that we should all start using AOL, but I'm █ █ saying that we should welcome them to what has been for years "our" █ █ world. █ █ █
