Some interesting info

[Satangel]

I just came across this site , and I found this is pretty interesting.
So I thought, why not share it with GBAtemp.net

It's a lot of info on the Scene, like releasegroups and releases.

Been meaning to post this for the last couple of days, here's an old THG courier application form!

Spoiler

TL Here. First off, I want it known, I am not longer TL or The Timelord, but
rather The Slavelord. Good, got it? Great. You can also call me master. Why
the handle change you ask? Well I am now the Slave Driver for The Humble Guys.
If you are reading this, then you are reading an application to be a Slave
for THG. Got it? Good. Let's continue.

First off, being a THG slave is very simple, prestigious, and alot of
fun. How can being a slave be prestigious? Well simple, slaves will have THG
wares FIRST. And since THG puts out ALL WARES FIRST, then you of course will
have first dibs on the wares. Also, being a slave is an Anonymous job. Your
handle will be simply Humble Slave#xx (where xx is the slave number). However,
like the marines, we are looking for a few good slaves. There are also a few
basic rules to being a THG slave. Most important, remember that myself and ALL
THG members are to be treated as God's. We are your patron diety. Number 2,
you will do anything we ask. If that means name your first born son after us,
then do it. As a matter of fact, I want you all to name your first born son
SL. Got it? Good. Now, how do you become a THG slave? This is the easy part.
Just fill out the application here and send it to either one of these fine
boards:

The Slave Den

SysOp: The Slavelord

Candyland \ The Humble Guys / Tye Die Control Center
[615] 333 6561 / World Headquarters \ [615] 832 9277


All of these boards runs at 9600 HST speeds (lock in at 38.4 if you have a
16550 UART chip and a 14.4 or DS). Now, lets get to the application.

The Humble Guys were great, they had the wickedest sense of humour of all the old PC scene groups. Automaton during the ST days were very similar as well. Alot of Amiga groups used to take themselves way too seriously, Anthrox and Fairlight were always cool though. For the funniest scene group ever look up Lamers Of Power, I don't think you get groups that these days.

edit : For the laugh factor as well, one of the development team of Invision used to be a member of one of the most popular UK THG sites!
