I. Silent Terror
|
|||
|
|
Around circa 1983 to 1984. Trashed and crashed the systems of the time,
|
|||
|
|
with limited H&P. Members included Overlord, Ramlord, Byte Phyter, and more,
|
|||
|
|
although many records have been lost.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
II. Sysop's Communications Council
|
|||
|
|
Around circa March of 1984 to November of 1984. These were established
|
|||
|
|
sysops who organized to help with the influx of users. Membership included
|
|||
|
|
Clyde M. Davis, Gary Cox, Stew Bracken, and others.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
III. The USA Alliance
|
|||
|
|
Circa 1984-1987. Extensively hacked and phreaked, and sponsored many BBS
|
|||
|
|
systems. Members included The Prophet, Ted Rockson, Swamp Fox, The Vigilante,
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IV. NATO
|
|||
|
|
Circa June of 86 to Sept of 86. This was geared at destroying the
|
|||
|
|
previously mentioned USA Alliance for reasons unknown at the time of this
|
|||
|
|
writing. Members included Pendle the Pirate, Bad Boy, Cap Com, and others.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
V. Tel*Star
|
|||
|
|
Circa April of 86 to June of 87. This group held users meetings, and many
|
|||
|
|
BBSs and well-known sysops of today were in it. The president was Muad Dib,
|
|||
|
|
the Vice-President was Long John Silver, the Secretary was Lady Mercury, Sgt
|
|||
|
|
at Arms was Red Baron and Kracken (sysop of Rising Power) was also in it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VI. The Underground Alliance
|
|||
|
|
Circa 1987. This group dealt with protection, new ideas, modifications,
|
|||
|
|
and other resources for BBS sysops who wanted to join. Members included Ninja
|
|||
|
|
Master and others.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VII. User Terrorist Group
|
|||
|
|
Circa 1987. This group claimed to be friendly, although the name seems to
|
|||
|
|
make it not so. Also, the group contains two current TLP members. Members
|
|||
|
|
included Thomas Covenant, Deathmaster, Vingyth, Mithrom, Lone Wolf, Satan, The
|
|||
|
|
Executioner, The Modem Outlaw, and Iron Cobra, among others.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VIII. Elite Den Crew
|
|||
|
|
Circa 1986 to 1987-88. This group ran the BBS system called The Tiger's
|
|||
|
|
Den. Phreaking and piracy was involved, although nothing was ever confirmed.
|
|||
|
|
Members included Tiger Man, Warlock, and the Messiah.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IX. NAUSEA
|
|||
|
|
Circa 1987. This was an Atari users group which ran a BBS system called
|
|||
|
|
Fort NAUSEA. It had little success, according to Elminster. Membership
|
|||
|
|
included Mister Pi, Jaguar, Panther, Safetypup, Pokey, Mr. Do, and the Witch
|
|||
|
|
Doctor.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
X. The Lion's Pride (TLP)
|
|||
|
|
Began circa 1988, and continues today. Perhaps the most notorious group
|
|||
|
|
around today. Early membership included current members, Sir Cavalier, Thomas
|
|||
|
|
Covenant, Deathmaster, Robotron, Mike Tyson (currently the sysop of Dazed &
|
|||
|
|
Confused, then the sysop of the Knockout BBS), and the 216 Phoneman (also
|
|||
|
|
known as S.S. Sigue). Current membership is limited to Rampant Lion (seems to
|
|||
|
|
be the leader), The Joker, The Punisher, and Tom Olson, who goes by many
|
|||
|
|
handles, including the Modem Outlaw and Gunslinger. Recent problems with TLP
|
|||
|
|
included the Sandman incident, which has been directed towards Tom Olson for
|
|||
|
|
almost certain, the Rod Serling/Treasure Chest Incident, which might also be
|
|||
|
|
the direct result of actions taked by Tom Olson, and the Forgotten R
|
|||
|
|
ealm Ordeal, where sysops Elminster and Nightstalker refuse to admit legal
|
|||
|
|
accounts to the Lion's Pride. This group makes demos using a program for the
|
|||
|
|
C-64. The Joker, then known as The Eme, ran two boards, Alcatraz BBS and
|
|||
|
|
Gotham City BBS. Future M.I.A. text files will deal with the Lion's Pride
|
|||
|
|
extensively.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
XI. Innovation Annihilation Inc.
|
|||
|
|
Circa 1988-1989, limited today. This group produced two diskettes which
|
|||
|
|
slandered modem users. Past membership included Muad Dib, Robotron, Spray,
|
|||
|
|
Deathmaster, Thomas Covenant, and The Eme. Currently, IAI is associated with
|
|||
|
|
the Lion's Pride.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
XII. Fuji Alliance
|
|||
|
|
Circa 1986-1987. This group took control of the Atari Louisville users
|
|||
|
|
group meetings during the Tel*Star era. Membership included Neebokanezeer, the
|
|||
|
|
Citadel, Witch Doctor, the Acocuntant, Father-time, and others.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
XIII. The Young Godz
|
|||
|
|
Circa Jan-March of 1991. This group was a fledgling group that was
|
|||
|
|
pretty much eliminated by pressure from TLP. Membership included Poseidon,
|
|||
|
|
<ronos, Atlas, and Dionysius. The group was supposed to send out "application
|
|||
|
|
packets," but known were. Rumors included a Young Godz BBS, but this also
|
|||
|
|
failed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
XIV. The Jew Crew
|
|||
|
|
Unknown time span. This group, which focuses on the C*Net boards, include
|
|||
|
|
Muad Dib, Ziltron, EdorhaS, The Human Computer, and others. It has created
|
|||
|
|
many program mods for the C*Net program, and current boards include The
|
|||
|
|
End/Terminal Zone at 494-
|
|||
|
|
6333 and Arrakis at 833-6159. Both are leary of TLP.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
XV. The Elite Rodent Crew
|
|||
|
|
Circa January 1991-. This small group, composed of the mysterious users,
|
|||
|
|
Ratman and Master, center themselves on Forgotten Realm BBS and do very
|
|||
|
|
little. They require 60s "muscle cars" as membership, though.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
XVI. American Party
|
|||
|
|
Circa Dec 1990-January 1991. This group, which was only existent on
|
|||
|
|
Treasure Chest BBS, harrassed users and hacked user logs. Members included
|
|||
|
|
Hermann Goring, Stormbringer, Jaguar, The Anarchist, and any other straggler
|
|||
|
|
that sucked up to them. They were liquidated by TLP, supposedly, although many
|
|||
|
|
modemers today believe that the TLP WAS the AP. The American Party resistance
|
|||
|
|
force included Josie, Rod Serling, Elminster ("Adamned," if you asked the AP),
|
|||
|
|
Dr. Who, Casca, and Mech1.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
XVII. The Crusaders
|
|||
|
|
Circa May 1991-. Very little is known about this group, except for the
|
|||
|
|
leader, Dark Knight. It is dedicated to user group meetings, and other fun
|
|||
|
|
things. The naive approach that they take towards the modem world extended as
|
|||
|
|
far as to ask the Lion's Pride to "merge" with them, to form one group. This
|
|||
|
|
was obviously referred to as a joke and disregarded. The group strongly urges
|
|||
|
|
that they are not from Canton Central Catholic, but McKinley High School.
|
|||
|
|
Future plans are extensive, but secret, inc
|
|||
|
|
luding the revealing of the background of their name.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
XVIII. M.I.A.
|
|||
|
|
The authors of this text file, the M.I.A., are a top secret group. The
|
|||
|
|
members, which are few and far between, are regular users on the Stark County
|
|||
|
|
boards, but go under assumed names. They produce demos, and #1 is available at
|
|||
|
|
the time of this
|
|||
|
|
writing, focusing on the American Party. Number two is currently available,
|
|||
|
|
but has not been u/l'ed anywhere. Number three is being worked on. It will
|
|||
|
|
also u/l these text files.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The authors of this text file would like to thank the following people
|
|||
|
|
for aiding in the writing of this file:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dr. Who (for u/l'ing the old text file),
|
|||
|
|
Elminster (for extensive research on older groups),
|
|||
|
|
Kracken (for information on Tel*Star),
|
|||
|
|
and the Lion's Pride (for information on groups and boards).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This file was greatly based on a text file written by the Ninja Master, called
|
|||
|
|
"Modem History Part 1".
