Welcome to The Inner Circle
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The following files are all captures of various message bases and posts
|
|
within the lifetime of Unauthorised Access BBS. UA was without a doubt the
|
|
-best- Hack/Phreak board ever to grace these shores.
|
|
|
|
Run by Phantasm off an Amiga 2000 with some serious bolt-ons, it
|
|
attracted more than its fair share of attention from the UK's 'elite'
|
|
hackers / phreakers. Notable members upon its user list included The Grim
|
|
Reaper, Falcan, Asterix, DaveX, BooT!, Cherokee, Dr. Fonk, Mini-Master,
|
|
Vladimir, Fugitive [Later to become Krew-L-T], Eck, Maelstrom, Hi.T.Moonweed,
|
|
Zn0te and Cold Fire.
|
|
|
|
The board was without a doubt one of the main educational staying
|
|
points for some of todays '3133+ d00dz', and, when it finally shutdown in
|
|
the Summer of 95, it was felt that a part of the scene had been lost that
|
|
could never be recovered.
|
|
|
|
UABBS was the first board I called, ever, and the atmosphere on it
|
|
was -very- good. No-one was paranoid about Busts, everyone got on with
|
|
each other, and users were kept to a minimum to insure security. Despite
|
|
the shitty Mailer and several other annoying facilities, the board always
|
|
teemed with information.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, most boards nowadays seem to want to adopt the
|
|
'American Lamer' style of posturing and boasting. This isn't a dig at the
|
|
Americans, Jeez, no - Most of the best Information has always come from
|
|
America, but some of the more impressionable members of our community seem
|
|
to think it's KeWL 2 WrIt3 Lik3 ThiS d00dZzzz... Sad really, Britain had
|
|
so much to offer hacking scene wise, and with the death of UABBS, it looks
|
|
like that particular sense of community and co-operation was lost for good.
|
|
|
|
Not so... Good boards since UABBS included :
|
|
|
|
Digital Violation Mini-Master
|
|
Duk and Cover Scribla / Smurf / Erotica
|
|
1066 Atrocity [I now Co-sys]
|
|
DockMaster Eck
|
|
|
|
All the above seemed to maintain the same atmosphere as the old days, with
|
|
the minimum of fuss. The thing that saddens me most about the UK today is
|
|
that we appear to have lost our sense of identity, and now rely on others
|
|
to provide one for us. Anyway, enough of my nostalgic dribbling - I'll let
|
|
you parse through the caps.
