<pre> now is an interview with crumbsucker
of ex.fantasy. interviewed by bod.
m: mamba c: crumbsucker
--------------------------------------
m: tell us something about yourself?

c: my name is stan.i am 155 pounds,
around 5ft 11 tall and 21 years old
i was born in russia and we moved
to the usa in 1979. i got my c64
in 1986 and got into the elite
scene in 1988. i am presently going
to college and i am majoring in
international marketing.

m: how did you get started in the
scene?
c: i started off calling local boards
at 300 baud. i got onto one elite
local board and found out about
phreaking. with some help from
mangar (ex.nec) i started calling
other elite out of state boards.

m: tell me a bit about 'channel zero'
your old bbs?

c: i put the board up in the fall of
1989 and it was called "darkside
bbs" and i was the headquarters for
falcon. then after falcon changed
there names to culture i was there
hq. i became friends with technique
and he asked me to be fantasy hq.
c: i agreed and renamed the board to
"channel zero." after i had some
disagreements with culture i moved
over to action and was fantasy and
action hq.

m: what do you think about the scene
today compared to the scene of a
year or so ago?

c: well, it is really different. there
are to many lamers getting access
on the good boards. there are to
few good american's left and the
ones that are around really have to
big ego's.

m: if you could change s0mething in
the scene what would it be and why?

c: i would provably try to get more
good americans calling boards and
actually doing things like fixing
and coding. most of the good ones
went amiga or quit.

m: do you own an amiga yourself?

c: no i don't and i probably never
will get one. it would be a waste
of money as everything i would use
the amiga for i already can do on
the 64. i never have times to play
games.
m: where did you get your handle?

c: well, when i first got my modem
one of my friends stayed over to
show me how to use it. he called
and applied on a local bbs and
asked me what handle to use. i was
half asleep and just said
crumbsucker (after the hard core
band.)

m: tell me some of your favourites?

c: movies: evil dead 2, jacobs ladder
and monty pythongs holy
grail.

c: music: hard core/puck and rap.
food: chinese.
drink: jolt (a high caffeine drink)
sport: baseball.

m: have you any regrets about your
years on the c64?

c: yes i do. running a board i had to
put up with a lot of lamers who
would wardial my bbs line a lot.
and dealing with certain people
like technique.

m: what do you do in your spare time?

c: i am in a band so i spend a lot of
c: time rehearsing. i go out and watch
movies and hang out with my
girlfriend.

m: what are your plans for the future?

c: to graduate from college. maybe
i'll put my bbs back up, if there's
a demand. but, i will be calling
out as long as the c64 is alive.

m: tell me some things you dislike?

c: i mainly dislike people who claim
to bethings they are not. i hate
hangovers, girls who play hard to
get and especially lamers.
m: tell us your definition of a lamer?

c: someone who is 15 and under. who
talks a lot of shit about things
they no nothing about and has no
life away from the c64. and people
who keep talking about how great
esi were 3/4 years after they died.

m: is there anything you would like to
say before we finish?

c: i think more people should start to
think and act for themselves. there
are to many people here in the
states who continue to talk real
big on the boards and when you get
c: to speak to them voice it's obvious
in real life they are nothing like
they claimed.

m: is there anyone you want to greet?

c: greetings to everybody who ever
called my board.

m: ok thanks for your time stan.

c: thank you.
