Well guys, this is CyberChrist. I am sure that there have been rumors flying
|
|
around about how I got busted or something along those lines, but I wanted
|
|
to set the record straight. For all intents and purposes, I am out of the
|
|
scene for a good while, but more on that later. I wanted to warn everyone
|
|
about something that happened to me from a guy that was supposed to be
|
|
my friend: Warchild.
|
|
|
|
We will begin in early Septmber, when Dave Lindsey, aka Warchild, called me
|
|
up and told me that he had moved to Atlanta (404). I had known Dave for a
|
|
little while and had seen him on IRC, but other than that, didn't know him too
|
|
much. He told me that he was living in some shithole in town and didn't
|
|
really like the people he was staying with. My sister had moved out to
|
|
school and we had a spare room. After talking it over with my mother, I told
|
|
him it wa cool and he moved in. He gave my mother some money and told him to
|
|
make himself at home. After a couple of days, he started using my computer
|
|
all the fucking tie, which was actually ok, since I needed some time off, plus
|
|
he was helping me restructure SWaT. For a good three to four weeks things
|
|
were going great. We got rid of some morons in SWaT and restructured things
|
|
and things were going great. SWaT was back in a major way and people were
|
|
getting stuff on time and we even began to eat into Strike Force's boards and
|
|
beat them on everything.
|
|
|
|
Dave and I were talking over some beers at Hooter's one night and he brought
|
|
up an idea that I had thought of earlier, which was to form a cracking group.
|
|
I thought it'd be a pretty cool idea, so I talked it over with Disk Killer and
|
|
Black Mischief and everything seemed to be pretty cool with them, so we went
|
|
for it. Dave got to work on setting up accounts and we ran into the real
|
|
Renegade Chemist and he agreed to help us out. Things seemed great and from
|
|
the way everyone was talking, things were going to roll. All along, I was
|
|
thinking that Warchild had a good head on his shoulders, since he loved to
|
|
brag about how he had scored something like a 1470 on the SAT and how he had
|
|
gotten a bachelor's in Economics in 2 1/2 years at the University of Florida.
|
|
Well, things began to sour pretty bad when he and The Renegade Chemist began
|
|
having their spats. I'd have to say that they both seemed pretty full of it,
|
|
since our only real release was supplied by Disk Killer and the rest of the
|
|
NUAA guys. I liked talking to TRC and he seemed ok, so I didn't see the
|
|
problem. Dave was gung-ho and ready to kick him out at any second. I didn't
|
|
really give a fuck, I just wanted to see any one of them supply something
|
|
worth a shit. Then we got the call from Heretic in Fairlight, who wanted to
|
|
do a merge with SWaT (The FiRM, for those of you that wanna bring up a thorn
|
|
<g>) and Fairlight. I talked it over with Dave and he and TRC and Disk Killer
|
|
all agreed, so we all went over to Fairlight.
|
|
|
|
All this time, I should let everyone know what was going on behind the scenes,
|
|
so to speak. My mother and my sister (who went to college if you'll remember)
|
|
were not getting along. If anyone knows anything about Italians, they'll know
|
|
that Sicilians and sisters are pretty close, so I was on my mom's case about
|
|
lightnening up on her. My mother was also having a hard time dealing with
|
|
her recent divorce and had turned to substance abuse, which included booze,
|
|
smoking and drugs. It was hard for me to see this going on everyday and I
|
|
tried to stay behind sometimes from college to just make sure she didn't do
|
|
anything stupid.
|
|
|
|
Well, by this time, it is mid-october. Dave starts talking big talk and how
|
|
he can do all this crazy shit. He started beating his chest on boards like
|
|
Elusive Dreams and I went to help him (go back and read all the posts on
|
|
the board and verify it for yourself if you want to). I really didn't want
|
|
to deal with the ragging, but this dork didn't give it up. Eventually
|
|
Warchild stopped his incessant ragging and I kept it going for a week, which
|
|
was a bad idea, but this blackhearted asshole went and used it against me.
|
|
He went and talked to Strider and got Heretic kicked out of Fairlight, which
|
|
may or may not have been a good thing, but we were stuck with people who,
|
|
in all sincerity, didn't know what the fuck they were doing, considering
|
|
their claim to fame was Sinister. I don't have to name the people, you can
|
|
look them up. At any rate, it was at this point that Warchild started going
|
|
behind my back and talking shit about me. Spreading lies about me and the
|
|
way I lived. I don't crap tiffany cufflinks, but I do clean up after myself.
|
|
At any rate, it was all childish shit. He started telling people in Fairlight
|
|
how much he hated me and how I always went on ragging and all. I was trying
|
|
to save his ass, but this faggot dork went on and on about me. He spent all
|
|
his time on my computer and on my phone, to the point to where I had to move
|
|
to my basement so I wouldn't have to deal with him clattering at the keyboard
|
|
at 4:30 am and moaning about how clueless he was about OS/2. On top of all
|
|
that shit, I was trying to study Physics and Pascal and this geek just didn't
|
|
understand when it was time to quit and go to bed. I was tired and between
|
|
nagging my mother to let me use the van to go to the gym and rugby practice
|
|
and this idiot tying up my computer and phreaking his ass off, I felt like
|
|
bungee-jumping into the interstate. Finally, he went and leased a laptop and
|
|
talked me into trading in my motherboard and VGA card for a 486/66 and a
|
|
crappier VGA card.
|
|
|
|
On the home front, things were not going well. I also have a little sister
|
|
and she basically started skipping school all the time. I told my mother
|
|
and she didn't seem to give a shit. I'm sorry people, but when you're in
|
|
college and kicking yourself for not done better and being able to get into
|
|
a better institution, you make sure that your 14-year old sister stays on top
|
|
of her shit and gets good grades. Anyway, things got progressively worse
|
|
until one night, when my sister from college came to visit, my mother and
|
|
I had an arguement. For like the fourth time, she chose to go be with her
|
|
nappy boyfriend instead of seeing her daughter. Dave of course, is happily
|
|
spreading or some bullshit or calling some friends of mine and talking shit
|
|
behind my back. My mom and I had it out and on Oct 26, 1993, she kicked me
|
|
out of the house. I didn't really know what the fuck to do, so I went with
|
|
my sister back to Auburn to figure shit out. I left Dave in charge of my
|
|
shti and asked him to keep it for me. That was probably the single worst
|
|
mistake I have ever made and will regret it for a long time to come. While I
|
|
was at Auburn trying to get a job and get my shit straight, Warchild went and
|
|
sold my console copier. It wasn't the fact that he sold it, but the fact that
|
|
he went and kept the money. $350.00 of it. When I saw him the next week, he
|
|
gave me $200 of it. He told me that he left the $150 back at the house, but
|
|
that he would wire it to me the next day. I took the $200 which I spent on
|
|
food, gas and rent. I called him the next day and he told me that he couldn't
|
|
find that and that he thought my mother stole it from his wallet. What the
|
|
fuck is my money doing in HIS wallet anyway? Of course, he happily told me
|
|
how he had spent all this other money on beer and gotten drunk. Guess where
|
|
the $150.00 went..
|
|
|
|
That was only the beginning of things. I got a chance to talk to some people
|
|
and I found out that this cocksucker had gone and badmouthed me for no
|
|
reason. Sure, we had disagreements, but I took this guy into my house and
|
|
let him use all my stuff and never asked for anything back but just a little
|
|
fucking courtesy. Penniless and a paycheck not in sight for three weeks, I
|
|
had agreed to sell Warchild my computer for a cool $2000. That included
|
|
16 megs of RAM, 1.3 gigs, a 486/66 (which we both put money into), a tape
|
|
drive, 3.5" drive, SB Pro, Adaptec 1541 SCSI, OS/2 totally tweaked out, and
|
|
a gig half full of shit. Worth a little more than $2000, but I needed the
|
|
cash. He was going to get the cash from some magical trust fund that he said
|
|
he had setup that gave him $1500 every month. We had agreed to $500 a month,
|
|
which would help me get back on my feet and let him use the computer all he
|
|
wanted. Plus, he had a laptop.
|
|
|
|
Well, the magical trust fund never materialized. Three weeks after I had been
|
|
kicked out of my house, my mother kicked him out for being late on the rate and
|
|
having racked up over $500.00 in phone bills, along with installation charges
|
|
for phone lines for some super-elite board he wanted to put up. When he
|
|
left, he tried to leave with the computer. My mother stopped him, since it
|
|
was obvious that he couldn't pay me for it, so the fucker rips out the mother
|
|
board, VGA card and 16 megs of RAM and takes off. Later on, I got to go back
|
|
and get the rest of my stuff, which included the computer cards and HDs.
|
|
He kept the motherboard, $150, 16 megs of RAM and VGA card. As far as I know,
|
|
he sold it all, trying to pay off his bills and keep the Florida bill
|
|
collectors off of his ass. Of all that stolen stuff, I have yet to see dime
|
|
out of it. I put my own motherboard and VGA card into the newer ones and I
|
|
feel I should at least get those back from him. I should also get the $150,
|
|
since the console copier was mine and not his. The most blackhearted thing
|
|
about it all is that he goes and sells the shit so he can go and put a roof
|
|
over his stinking head while I sleep on the floor at my sister's apartment,
|
|
waiting on this idiot to send me money that is justly mine and making plans
|
|
for this idiot to go to Auburn and supposedly help me out. This faggot
|
|
backstabbing asshole, who once told me that he thought of me like a brother,
|
|
went and screwed me and everyone over. Fairlight went down the shitter
|
|
because he has the leadership abilities of a wet pimple. He went to TDT
|
|
because Hard Core figures to be enough of a sucker to send this dickhead a
|
|
modem so that he can get some lame board up.
|
|
|
|
I'm not asking for sympathy. I'm asking everyone to take this fucking asshole
|
|
and kick him off of your board. Everything I had done up until I met this
|
|
dick was great. SWaT was a great group, no matter was clueless idiotic
|
|
cracking bastards might think. Just ask the sysops. This guy is nothing but
|
|
a curse and it is a fucking shame that I had to pay the price for this bastard
|
|
to dick me over. He didn't get a 1470 on the SAT. He never took it. He
|
|
never went Florida and got a bachelor's in Economics. He flunked out after
|
|
about 2 quarters there and lived off of people there. There were girls from
|
|
Florida calling my house to talk to Dave all the time to get him to come down
|
|
and give them their money. He bragged about it to me, how he screwed these
|
|
chicks over. He is nothing but a fraud and will say anything to get you to
|
|
trust him and then he will screw you out of as much money as he can. If he
|
|
gets busted, he is the type of person to screw anyone over to save his ass,
|
|
including turn people and boards in. He told me that he had quit the scene
|
|
earlier because he almost got busted and "talked his way out of it".
|
|
If it means anything, he was in TDT at the time and afterwards, 2 TDT boards
|
|
were busted, one right in his back yard. I'm not saying he did those, but
|
|
stop and think about it for a second. He's back in TDT now, supposedly
|
|
running the TDT American Division (or would that be ripping them off).
|
|
|
|
As far as I go, I'll recover. I honestly don't expect to see a motherboard
|
|
or 16 megs of RAM or a VGA or $150.00 from him, so I'm not holding my breath.
|
|
Suffice it to say that I will survive and go on with everything and study all
|
|
the shit that I want to. I am out of the scene for a good long time, though,
|
|
and I don't plan on coming back anytime soon. I am selling the Dual, HDs,
|
|
full tower and scsi card, so if anyone wants to help me out, call someone in
|
|
404 that knows me and tell them that you want to buy some of the shit. Do me
|
|
another favor and post this file and spread it and let people know that this
|
|
guy is worthless.
|
|
|
|
In closing, I'd like to say that it's a goodbye, but I'll be back. I met a
|
|
lot of good people that helped me out through it all and I learned a great
|
|
deal. The good outweighed the bad, although the bad weighed pretty fucking
|
|
heavy. In particular, I'd like to thank Der Schatten, Spaceman Spiff, The
|
|
Cardinal, and everyone else local that pitched in. Without those guys, a lot
|
|
of this would have been hot air and this file would have been a lot shorter
|
|
<grin>. SWaT was a blast, and so was everything else. In a year or ten, I
|
|
might do it again. Until then, adios.
