 * lth (ex x-ray) joined bonzai.

 * problem child/empire got billed for
   att for $900.

 * spitfire & hok/action pretended to
   be in the new group "victims" as a
   joke on there own board "terminal
   obsession." prodigy believed them
   and dropped action from the board.
   terminal obsession is now the hq for
   nec/nei/censor. i am sure that in
   the future spitfire will not take
   his jokes so far. consequently as
   soon as censor took the board
   terminal obsession as there 2nd hq,
   some victims guys told sorceress
   that censor dropped her bbs mystic
   caverns for terminal obsession where
   in reality, censor never dropped
   mystic caverns. mystic caverns is
   now the hq for victims. the same
   guys who lied about censor dropping
   the board. it seems to me that the
   censor guys were screwed over.
   nei and action also have parted co.
   after the incident on 'terminal
   obsession.' action are now proud to
   be trading exclusively with empire.

 * blaze joined the australian group
   the digital underground as a coder.

 * crumbsucker (see interviews) will
   be putting his board back up as of
   25th april 1991. he has joined

   and his old friends in action.
