Good day people, it's your most loveable hateable person around, yes, that's
|
|
right, The Slavelord..
|
|
|
|
Most of you probably have heard of me in one way or another, my reputation
|
|
as the "Loud Mouth" of The Humble Guys has well proceeded me.. And of course,
|
|
my new group, OFG, has already developed a reputation of it's own in less
|
|
then a month...
|
|
|
|
Well, what I would basically like to say here is that I officially retire
|
|
from the pirate scene. I think I can also speak for Hal 9000 on this too.
|
|
|
|
Last night, October 27th, Dateline:NBC did an expose' on computer hackers.
|
|
They interviewed one of the members of LOD, etc.. They main jist of the
|
|
show was basically breaking into Fortune 500 companies, Banks, TRW, etc.
|
|
During this show, they displayed a few BBS AD's. One of them was for
|
|
The Final Fantasy, the other one was the old VGA Slave Den AD. I have
|
|
recreated the Slave Den AD here for you (Titled NBCSUX.EXE) with EXACTLY
|
|
what of the scroller was shown on national TV.
|
|
|
|
4 Months ago, PC-Computing did an article on software piracy. Out of all
|
|
the known pirates out there, the ONLY one mentioned was me. That really
|
|
didn't bother me that much simply because WHO READS PC-COMPUTING ANYWAYS???
|
|
|
|
But the NBC show, well that kind of shook me up. It's enough for me to say
|
|
"I quit!". So, I Quit! When I originally joined THG, Candyman (here on
|
|
referenced as Candydude) asked me to be the "Spokesperson of The Humble Guys".
|
|
I was supposed to go around, beat my chest, and prove to the whole world
|
|
that THG was #1. I did this, and I guess I did it REAL well. I imagine
|
|
3 years from now, there will still be things mentioned about The Slavelord
|
|
and THG. We've made computer history.
|
|
|
|
Unlike SOME pirates who would love to be interviewed on the Donahue show,
|
|
I am not into fame and glory. As a matter of fact, I want NO national
|
|
attention. So rather then risking my family, my business, and everything
|
|
I have any further, I retire respectfully from the pirate scene.
|
|
|
|
Sysops: Please delete my account off your boards. Yes, EVERYONE please
|
|
delete my account from your boards. The Slavelord is no longer. If
|
|
"The Slavelord" EVER applies to your BBS, then you can bet it's a fake,
|
|
and just delete him then.
|
|
|
|
As far as BBS software, etc. I am still continuing to support the LSD BBS
|
|
package, and there WILL be a release Saturday morning (Halloween release).
|
|
You all can pick it up from the support board (you know the #).
|
|
|
|
Well, I guess that's it, but there is one last thing I would love to say,
|
|
since I've been dying to say it for years..
|
|
|
|
So long, and thanks for all the fish...
|
|
|
|
SL/OFG'92!
|
|
|
|
P.S. Don't worry about OFG, the group will still stay together, I just won't
|
|
be a force involved with it anymore.
