Are there no morals left in the Scene? Is there even a scene left ? The situation is as follows. Earlier in 2004 I decided to start a group with some close friends. In search to improve what we had, as all groups do, we found new members. We were strictly an xbox group nothing else. It was never the intention of any elegance founder/leader or senior member to enter into the pc iso scene. Due to disagreements over quality levels in our releases and methods I left the group. As the founder I assumed the group would disband after that but didn't have a problem with any other leader or co-founder running the group. Now it has come to my attention that a PC Game has been released under the name Elegance, yet no seniors of the original crew are behind it. Not a founder nor leader not even a mouse. The nfo uses the same header from this one but is updated. A pure rip off. Also, the game released was VALUESOFT. You don't have to be a genius to know that any valuesoft game is unprotected. So here's the point i'm trying to make to those of you who are behind this release, or just the one of you, or whatever. 1) Group names are not copyrighted, but you look quite lame when you steal the name and nfo from a group. Maybe change a letter or something ? how about Elegant ? or EleFance ? Elefants ? Have some fun with it girls. 2) If you do decide to keep using the name Elegance, atleast show me a little respect by releasing something with protection. No MessageBoxA is not a protection scheme. Maybe a cd-check ? a little unwrapping ? gimme somethin' here guys. Oh and btw guys I got a good name for your courrier group. Fairlight. They had some nice nfo's too. <---------------- - Greetings - ----------------------------------- - - - To those who sacrificed to keep skill and integrity in the scene. <------- [ - ELEGANCE 2004 - Putting the "N" Back In Fun! - ] ----- - - --
