* betrayer left xentrix to join spirit!

* leader and hawk (both programmers)
  have joined alpha flight 1970, the
  same did ream/ex-hotline, ex-accuse
  while ramirez left for talent. some
  more members have been added with
  sliver (graphician) who is in agony,
  too, and sanity/ex-trd (original sup-
  plier, cracker). with lemming they re-
  cruited another megaswapper in order
  to get their warez spread.
  supreme returned and renamed into
  skinhead, his old handle he used some
  years ago. he teamed up with the pulse
  staff.

* jazzcat/legend got kicked out of the
  pulse staff and the scene can not wait
  to the see a similar move from legend,
  too, not only for releasing an unsold
  game but for re-cracking the same game
  aswell from alpha flight who have ad-
  ded a code into their original, a very
  clever move!

* peace/ex-oxyron decided to search his
  luck in noice these days. doxx started
  to study in a university (where else?)
  while stasi had to join the swedish
  army.

* splatterhead left chromance. the rea-
  son is unknown. rumours say that sph
  is going to built up an illegal sec-
  tion for regina.

* stone/ex-talent has joined trd while
  deekay/crest teamed up as second group
  underdog has definately never joined
  trd as some magazines started.

* steve/ex-trc&amp;scs/lazer has now joined
  avantgarde. crossfire claims that
  steve is freezing games like in former
  times.

* offence is not dead even if yup does
  not own a cbm 64 anymore. yup and rrr/
  oxyron are going to realise some low
  budget/budget games on the amiga.

* lemming left fatum &amp; joined afl

* zore/ex-vision joined palace as gfx'er
  and swapper
