Domination 06 Guest Editor: Vengeance

--------------------------------------- Guest editor: Vengeance/Onslaught --------------------------------------- Earlier this month JAZZCAT asked me to do a guest chapter for DOMINATION, of course i agreed and here i am. This is the 3rd in a row of guest chapters i hope to do over the coming months. Already i have done chapters for SKYHIGH, SPLASH and now DOMINATION. As well as releasing a monthly magazine in VANDALISM NEWS. So, i have no idea what to write about but i'll just go on about nothing for a while i guess. But anyhow, the first thing i'd like to talk about in this chapter is the INTERNET. In a few days i shall also be calling there, but this isn't about that. Its about a subject that i have already gone over in VANDALISM some months ago, its about the INTERNET meaning the end of the board scene. Something which i guess we would all hate, after all the boards have been around an awefully long time now. Sure INTERNET is cool and has a very good bassing, but most people call with PC and i guess that encourages them away from the 64. Well at least in some cases. In my opinion it is very bad seeing only 5 differn't callers per day on the top boards due to the lack of calling possibiltys, and the increasing strength of the INTERNET. So what i'm saying is this. The internet may be good, and have very strong standards, speed and the like. But the boards are a tradition that i myself would hate to be seen broken, For example just how long will it be before FTP sites are being used for refernces for RELEASE CHARTS, and how long will it be before you have to actually put your UPLOADS on the NET instead of the boards. Myself, i still love the boards and the more i think about it, they are falling down. Sad but true. Maybe it was just the CHRISTMAS spirit keeping people away and out boozing instead, but its still not good to see. And it doesn't help the scene out in anyway at all, apart from with a lack of support. Which isn't particularly needed in todays scene. Anyway enough on the INTERNET, as i can't pass any judgements until i explore it for myself. While i write this chapter the DENMARK party is on. Our group was present there, unfortunatly our demo was not ready in time. It will still come, and soon it may be. Although its nearly one year in the waiting. We need a graphician or two for ONSLAUGHT. Help us out if you are intrested in joining the legal section. In view of recent happenings myself (VENGEANCE) may become inactive for a while soon, as my girlfriend has got a couple of months before she starts a new job, and then i will hardly see her, so i want to spend the next two months with her. Then i will get back into things more when she starts working. Also, just a brief message to the recent CRITICS of ONSLAUGHT and its behaviour... We don't care a fucking shit about you, dont you realise just how stupid you look. Come back to earth nerds. We haven't even started yet, so just prepare yourself for an ONSLAUGHT of massive proportions. Anyway a happy new year to you all, and i will see you in the pages of VANDALISM NEWS in early January 1996. Until then my friends and foes... +++No Fucking Carrier.
