HOWDY HACKERS...

like to set up some kinda CRACKER CHARTS

up to you to have a new column!...
send us the following votes :
15 BEST QUALITY CRACKING GROUPS
15 BEST SPEED CRACKING GROUPS
15 BEST SINGLE CRACKERS

something unusual in that version...
(intro included in it,or so... ed)
EXTRAS:we count as extras the following
things : 1ST RELEASE
