This might look a little unprofessional compared to
|
||
|
|
some other newsletters, but you have to remember this is our
|
||
|
|
first newsletter. We are trying to make it as informative as
|
||
|
|
possible. Right now we don't care about style. Later on in
|
||
|
|
future issues we will work on the format of our newsletter.
|
||
|
|
Right now the purpose of this newsletter is to tell you who
|
||
|
|
we are, what were going to do, how we came about, and who is
|
||
|
|
in API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first order of business I have to take care of is
|
||
|
|
answering the question Who is API? And what are they going to
|
||
|
|
do? Well, to answer those questions I must also include our
|
||
|
|
history. So here goes...about 3 months ago I was trying to
|
||
|
|
start up a group called KORT (Knight's of the Round Table). I
|
||
|
|
had no idea that there already existed a group called TKRT.
|
||
|
|
(And TKRT was a loser cracking group stealing cracks at that)
|
||
|
|
When I found out I abandoned the idea of starting up a group
|
||
|
|
because I met Laughing Gas. We both has the same idea. We
|
||
|
|
wanted to have not a hacking group, but a pirate group that
|
||
|
|
gave out information on new products, clues to games, and any
|
||
|
|
other business doings in the pirate world. I met Laughing Gas
|
||
|
|
and he suggested a group called API and asked me to join. I
|
||
|
|
agreed and that is basically how we came to be.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
API is not like your regular group that cracks games and
|
||
|
|
joins sysops of boards. We may have a branch that will
|
||
|
|
perform these duties, but as of right now, our main goal is
|
||
|
|
to INFORM the pirate world of new games, when their coming
|
||
|
|
out, our own personal opinion of the game, clues to games,
|
||
|
|
the docs to the game, some fixes for the game, and any other
|
||
|
|
important issues that may come up. You may make the analogy
|
||
|
|
of a newspaper to us. We will have information, some
|
||
|
|
editorials (in future volumes), classifieds, advertisements,
|
||
|
|
and upcoming products. We may include a Blacklist, but other
|
||
|
|
groups seem to have taken care of that problem. Some people
|
||
|
|
may think that we are just going to be like a falling star,
|
||
|
|
flickering briefly and then dissapearing. We have no
|
||
|
|
intention of being a falling star. We are here to stay unless
|
||
|
|
we get negative results from this newsletter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let me explain what I mean by a newspaper. We are going
|
||
|
|
to start the newsletter off by any important issues that have
|
||
|
|
come up in the pirate world. We will allow sysops to place an
|
||
|
|
ad in the newsletter advertising their board, and any other
|
||
|
|
information they may want to include. Also we will have an
|
||
|
|
editorial section letting the users express their views. For
|
||
|
|
example the subject of Guns or China. In the classifieds we would
|
||
|
|
put messages concerning the sale of an HD, or modem, etc.
|
||
|
|
Getting back to the news part we would have a pirate section
|
||
|
|
in general like the front page of your newspaper. Then we
|
||
|
|
would have a phreak section on busts or anything interesting,
|
||
|
|
a hack section concerning VAX's, UNIX's, etc., then an
|
||
|
|
anarchy section. I am not real thrilled about having this
|
||
|
|
section, but people have expressed their approval of having
|
||
|
|
one. That about sums up what the API newsletter will be, and
|
||
|
|
what we will be doing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A second issue of business I may want to add is that we
|
||
|
|
don't want ANY problems with any cracking groups. We in no
|
||
|
|
way are trying to compete with you. One, we are NOT a
|
||
|
|
cracking group, and two, we try to get any new information
|
||
|
|
from the cracking groups themselves. We are working in
|
||
|
|
conjunction with the groups trying to help them spread
|
||
|
|
information all over the country. Like NAP/PA's goal is to
|
||
|
|
unite all the cracking groups, ours is to spread information
|
||
|
|
throughout the pirate world.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other current members of API include Laughing Gas, Sturm
|
||
|
|
Brightblade, piro (like's his name in small letters), Missing
|
||
|
|
Link, me (Mind Shadow). We currently are looking for new
|
||
|
|
members who have excellent knowledge in the field of
|
||
|
|
phreaking, carding, hacking, and anarchy. If you are
|
||
|
|
interested in becoming a member then follow the directions on
|
||
|
|
the API application. To sysops who would like to become a
|
||
|
|
drop site for the API newsletter, follow the instructions on
|
||
|
|
the Drop Site application. We have alot of future plans,
|
||
|
|
but what happens remains to be seen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm am pretty positive everyone knows that the PCP has
|
||
|
|
changed the format for their password and their rates. Well
|
||
|
|
you might have not known that MCI has gotten 1400 more lines
|
||
|
|
around the nation. Don't ask me why. I doubt they could put
|
||
|
|
an ANI on each one, so phreaking with MCI MAY be less
|
||
|
|
dangerous than sprint or AT&T.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Well, that concludes our first newsletter....Oh yea I
|
||
|
|
almost forgot..I would like to say a few things about Phoebus
|
||
|
|
Apollo. Those of us on the East Coast will sorely miss Gates
|
||
|
|
of Dawn, but besides that, we will also miss the person
|
||
|
|
running Gates of Dawn. A real swell guy, well-liked by
|
||
|
|
everyone. Good luck in California, and K.I.T. with the pirate
|
||
|
|
world. Nothing like the Sun....
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Well, that definitely concludes our first newsletter. I
|
||
|
|
hope you have enjoyed it, and I am looking forward to your
|
||
|
|
opinions. Please, tell us what you thought of the newsletter.
|
||
|
|
What we could change or improve, or what we could add. We
|
||
|
|
only can get better with user support and criticism. I hope
|
||
|
|
this newsletter has given you some information you didn't
|
||
|
|
know before, and the next one should be out by the latest...
|
||
|
|
..October.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So to sum it all up...I would like to thank everyone who has
|
||
|
|
helped API out in the criticism and help. Until next time....
