INTRO:
|
|||
|
|
Welcome to my world. The world that is BLaH. I'd put the ! at the end of the
|
|||
|
|
group name, the way Pepsi Man wanted it, like BLaH!, or even nifty little
|
|||
|
|
brackets like [BLaH]. But in the first case, it's a pain to make an ANSI
|
|||
|
|
exclamation point; in the second, it'll look too much like [NuKE] <you'll
|
|||
|
|
never EVER catch Nowhere Man typing it without the brackets... he's got a
|
|||
|
|
macro for it even> or the name of a virus. Sure, I've had the macro "BLaH"
|
|||
|
|
before this group ever started, about a week ago or so. I also did that nifty
|
|||
|
|
little ANSI title on the top in PURE ascii, in DOS Edit, using alt-221, etc.
|
|||
|
|
Well, enough of my blathering on like a lunatic. Ebert doesn't like that at
|
|||
|
|
all <in reference to Scrooged with Bill Murray>. On with the introduction to
|
|||
|
|
the group!
|
|||
|
|
I LIED, THIS IS THE INTRO:
|
|||
|
|
Ok, here are some tidbits on BLaH. BLaH is composed of, so far, Chessman and
|
|||
|
|
myself. You'll hear about Chessman later, a modemer with a newfound fetish
|
|||
|
|
for murder. BLaH is an acronym for Big Long and Hairy. It originated last
|
|||
|
|
year, about June of 1991, when there used to be this really fun board, called
|
|||
|
|
The Baron's Bistro. The SysOp, The Baron, was a great guy, had a talent for
|
|||
|
|
making a board thrive in posts, etc. The board had maybe 30 megs of space
|
|||
|
|
total, and only a few REALLY good pirate games in the file bases < ie
|
|||
|
|
Lemmings, etc>. It was 2400, and a VERY message oriented board. We're talking
|
|||
|
|
like 200 posts a day or so, and really fun conversations too. Very fast-paced.
|
|||
|
|
There was no discussion of hack/phreak/virus/anarchy/carding. The message
|
|||
|
|
base "The Elite Conference Table" was mostly ideals and philosophy. Kinda.
|
|||
|
|
Out of this abundance of thought exchange, BLaH was born. The Baron said it
|
|||
|
|
a lot, and no one knew what it meant. Neither did he. He just said it as a
|
|||
|
|
void. Like a "whatever", "nevermind", "ok, great...". Just an end to a letter,
|
|||
|
|
or a substitute for something to say. It was also a partition of ideas. For
|
|||
|
|
example "I killed someone today .. .blah..what brand of pickles does your
|
|||
|
|
mother like the best?". The Baron looked at it, and noticed that it was an
|
|||
|
|
acronym for Big Long and Hairy. Hence, the term is born.
|
|||
|
|
ZA/\/:
|
|||
|
|
Also born of these same message bases was a group called ZA/\/. The Zhit Axis
|
|||
|
|
/\/ations. I was a member/minister of ZA/\/, and many works were released.
|
|||
|
|
There was poetry, religion-bashing, ORIGINAL anarchy texts that WORKED. The
|
|||
|
|
Baron has tried and tested more anarchy texts than anyone I have ever known.
|
|||
|
|
This was all great and dandy, and there was a main ZA/\/ board called United
|
|||
|
|
States Conect/Ying Yang. It was one of those board-in-a-board dealies. In
|
|||
|
|
about August, ZA/\/ died mostly because of personal reasons between the sysop
|
|||
|
|
of the ZA/\/ main board and another modemer. Yay. That's another story that
|
|||
|
|
I probably won't ever get into. Then, the posts started going down on the
|
|||
|
|
Bistro to a surprising 30 a day. This was unheard of. Plus, the posting was
|
|||
|
|
lame. They were one line responses to huge 5 page quoted messages. A user
|
|||
|
|
came about named Chuck that contributed to the insanity, and formed his own
|
|||
|
|
anti-ZA/\/ish <meaning exact opposite of ZA/\/> group called MaDCaP. Then,
|
|||
|
|
The Baron got pissed, and the holocaust came about. out of the 178 users,
|
|||
|
|
about 120 of them were deleted. The board became completely private <the new
|
|||
|
|
user password was THEBIGZONK, an indication that there was still some hope
|
|||
|
|
left for the wackiness>, and I gave the baron all of my viruses, and we <I
|
|||
|
|
was a sysop, remote though> started up a hack/phreak board. I used to do that
|
|||
|
|
stuff a LOT, and The Baron was an eager learner, so we posted invitations on
|
|||
|
|
some of the better hack/phreak boards, and people called. There were no ratios
|
|||
|
|
at all, and everything was peachy. The Bistro went down in February of 1992,
|
|||
|
|
because The Baron was bored. Well, for a year, there was one hell of a board.
|
|||
|
|
The Baron's Bistro. Rest In Peace.
|
|||
|
|
ANYWAYYY:
|
|||
|
|
There's the little historical epilogue to the story of BLaH. Essentially,
|
|||
|
|
that epilogue is what this group is about. Storytelling. Writing text files
|
|||
|
|
for the sheer joy of spreading the information. Speaking your mind and crushing
|
|||
|
|
other opinions that can't be supported. Isn't it great? Well, hey, if it's not
|
|||
|
|
then stop reading, delete this file, and spread the damn zipfile around to
|
|||
|
|
other boards so you can get file points and good ratios to download the latest
|
|||
|
|
k-rad-1-k00l 0-2 hour s00per ELITE ware, and then upload that everywhere for
|
|||
|
|
more credit. Jumpin Jesus on a Pogostick. Everyone knows thats the way it's
|
|||
|
|
done, why do you think they call you a warez geek? Because you don't PLAY the
|
|||
|
|
damn games. Well, that's what BLaH is out to do. To play the game. What is
|
|||
|
|
the game? Falling Down Stairs.
