40hex nº6:(40HEX-6.005):12/02/1993 << Back To 40hex nº 6
40Hex Number 6 Volume 2 Issue 2 File 005 I'm back, well kind of. Anyways, a lot of people have been asking, "What's going on with the group?" The question should be, "What's going on with any group these days?" It seems to me that 1992 was the death of h/p, or at least the "ice age" of it. Everybody was either getting busted or quitting the scene. Oh well, what can I say about it. Our group has been having bad luck too. Five (now six) busted as well as other assorted bad things happening to members. Anyways, what's going on with us, huh?. Well the reason you haven't heard much from us is because we haven't been releasing our new stuff to BBS systems ( BBS system sounds as redundant as PIN number, I know) because we have a strong feeling that members of such groups as the CVIA are logging on to h/p boards in the hope of snatching the latest viruses. Well not much you can do about it if you run a BBS, unless you personnally know everyone who calls your board. But come to think of it - what good does it prove to release your newest creation to the general public (of the h/p crowd) via BBS system? Isn't that the same principle as the warez puppy scene? I guess you all can do whatever turns you on but we kind of decided that it would be in our best interests to release our stuff to BBS's only after they have been detected by the popular scanners or until they are kind of old. Not to fear, 40-HEX and "Dark Angel Phunky Writing Guide" will still be on boards at the same rate as always. As for all of you people bitching that no longer have sites and that we are dead, well your dead - wrong. The current sites are as follows (in no specific order) - Digital Warfare (yes it's back, at a new number however), Time Lords BBS (The U.S.S.R System), The Phunline (yes it's back), and the newest addition - Crow Technology. And as for us being dead yeah right. ** Note from DecimatoR: The U.S.S.R System recently went down, due to Time Lord getting into a little hot water. It WILL return however... we're just not sure when. ** ** Note from GHeap: I am coming back, gimme mo' time! So now with that out of the way, on the other news. Hmmm..... Michelangelo caused quite a scare there for a while. It was pretty cool to see John, Patti, and the rest of the crew on T.V... John Dvorak has a new half hour computer talk show on syndicated radio. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if we got on the show some time soon. Check your local radio guide for your local station and time... I am offering a standing bounty of $1,500 for the person willing to fly to Ohio and kick Crow Meisters ass for good. A minor would be preferred, being that he is under 18 and if I smashed him I could get sued or something. Just kidding, Crow Meister is cool with me, hihihihi... A new federal law is being considered which if passed will outlaw the authorship of computer viruses totally, research or not. Read more about that later in this issue... Hey, I might have a BBS up soon! I have been saying that for the past 2 years haven't I? Well that's the news as I see it, it's nice to be writing for this rag again. Check ya in 25 to life.... Hellraiser P/S 1992 This article was typed by Time Lord for HR cuz he is WAY too lazy to send me a disk in place of a fuckin print out...
