01/95 Info File
Its been a while in coming, but the first Quad Period is
here. I wont bother going into alot of bac
kground on the Quad-P in this file, as Moda
ls History of the P QUADP.HIS has been included in the zip.
Speaking as Senior Staff, the P has some plans
for the future including a Viewer being co
ded by Fiend and a VGA Comic hand drawn by Lector.
Decemeber has gone by pretty fast for all
of us here. We finialized a merger with mos
t of the members of SKAViD of East-coast Canada Fame,
and would have had alot more of their work featured in th
is release but due to a couple complications
it didnt happen.. look for it next month. W
e took in more members from the 306, most of them new to the scene bu
t possesing some great raw talent. A merger
with TiC fell through after a
promising round of talks with several members. The end result is
we all
wish Treason would wake up, and we all despise Genghis. Group wa
rs are
such fun.
In the land of Member News a few things should be pointed out. X
yperwulv
previously of GRIP/AD and TIC changed his alias to WiteShado.
Ebony
started a group war with TIC grin. ShadowSorcerer previously
of
EMPIRE joined us as our US Cooridinator and then decided to lea
ve the
scene.. we were saddened to hear of his decision, but wish him t
he best
in the future, and will continue to release any art he decides t
o
produce. Sparr of ACID fame has joined us *go figure*, but I
welcome
him and hope to see something from him next month. We also welco
me
Bullapulooza previously of GRIND and we more than happy to re-
release
some of his pics from the 11/94 GRIND Pack.. hes got on wickedl
y evil
style, and I look forward to seeing more. And lastly Rebel Lord
founder
of WWAD joined us to help kick the shit. As I said.. its been
one hell
of a busy month..
Most of us are regular IRC junkies, and can be found in ansi or
the new
and improved scene channel. Our local University Server is down
for
some tweaking this week however, so the pack might not get that
wide of
a distribution until later on in the month.. most of us are tapp
ed out
of LD for this month CaRdZ! vMbZ! Just gimme! but Ill try t
o make
sure this ends up on Harvest Moon on the 1st at the very least.
Like most groups we have a home network, XTCNet. The net is run
by
Trickster and so far only extends through the 306 and 403. If yo
u are
interested in becoming a Dist Site wed recommend you look at th
e net,
but its on no way manditory. We also frequent ScreamNet, Twingl
eNet,
and SPAMNet.
Our World HQ is my bbs, ModemLandtm. The number is in the bbs
list and
other places by the NUP is not. Sorry for any troubles, but I ne
ed a NUP
to keep off the local warez kids and a few people whod love to
down my
board. For anyone seeking to get in contact with our members or
just
looking for 400 megs of art and music, the NUP is TANK CHEW. S
everal
of our sites have NUPs, if you have trouble finding them thats
too bad.
Theres a little bug in the application generator, specifically
in the
distribution section. The app is outputted to a file called xx-S
KVD.SIT,
please rename it to xx-QUAD.SIT those silly SKAVID boys.. .
All executables in the Period originated VIRUS FREE from my comp
uter and
were scanned with TBAV, NAV, and F-PROT before release and then
zipped
with PkZip AV.. if this archive fails AV on any .EXE then it has
likely
been tampered with and we do not reccomend you run it. There has
been a
recent outbreak of ansi packs being infected with the Whisper an
d other
viruses. We will always do our best to insure one does not come
from our
Period.
If you havent figured it out by now, Ill sum up just what the
P is
all about. When Modal and I decided to take our little 306 group
and
go national with it we agreed to stick to who we were. We will r
elease
any artwork, music, or literature in any form that we feel has a
ny
merit or obvious work put into it. We will welcome almost anyone
as a
member for as long as they wish to remain one and still produce
something
in a reasonable amount of time. There are no screen quotas here,
and
there will never be any bad blood. The whole purpose of this Per
iod is
to get exposure for our members and have a little fun with our p
ooters.
When is stops being fun well leave the scene and vanish back in
to the
real world.. although dont expect it to happen any time soon.
