O=================================================================O This piece of text has been written for all people who think there is a fake Skid Row division in Belgium, a fake world leader and a fake WHQ. The people who wrote the textfile called SR-READ.TXT are the actual Skid Row leaders, yes, these are Zandor and Data Stream, and never did anyone say the opposite. They are also MY leaders, but they awesomely were wrongly informed by lamers who just wished to create probs between me and them and also INSIDE Skid Row. So am I going to type a little answer to their text which contained several mistakes due to wrong informations. The reason why I take the keyboard today and not the phone is that I simply can't reach my leaders, and this since a couple of weeks now. I don't have any number, and you may believe I tried alot... So, about those facts... 1- There is NO proper belgian Skid Row group, not even a division. I am the ONLY belgian who ever took part in this 'fake group'. It is *not* something I made with friends for fun... ALL MEMBERS of this 'fake SR' are all real Skid Row members coming from various countries. More about this and a complete list will be typed below.. 2- There has NEVER been a Skid Row World Headquarter in Belgium. There is only a Skid Row Headquarter. This is a board I call regularly and I often come at the sysop's home, and I took him as Skid Row HQ for the members to easily meet as most members can BlueBox in Europe, but quite less to the USA... Never never.. never did we write anywhere that it was the WHQ, and never never would we have chosen a 1 node BBS in Belgium as WHQ, be serious please. 3- I have been looking for some elite members for our new policy, yes, but till now, NO NEW MEMBER HAS JOINED SKID ROW. None was good or interesting enough to be kept as member, and the consequence thereof is that NOBODY has been foolished. The people currently in this 'fake SR' are the same as the old ones. 4- NEVER DID I SAY I WAS THE WORLD LEADER OF SKID ROW. I said, and I am not afraid because that's what I said to everybody, that I was TEMPORARY LEADER. This means LEADER, YES, BUT TILL ZANDOR & DATA STREAM COME BACK. I have always told that, and all old members I knew or met gave me their agreement, you must know this. All we did, all I did was all done to give a push to Skid Row, visually dead or almost for months now. Non-SR members moreover have nothing to do in this story, it is not their problem if I am leader forever or temporary leader. And now enuff gossip... Let's analyse what really happened... Some weeks ago now, Skid Row suffered the loss of his WHQ which was UNLAWFUL ENTRY, then 7 SEAS. The scene got serious damages with the callings cards problems and alot of US boards got closed. Most Skid Row boards closed. After few weeks, I got calling cards and tried to call all Skid Row boards worldwide. No one answered and I killed lotsa cards trying to reach them again and again. I released one or two proggy's under the Skid Row label, as I am coder in Skid Row, though there was no WHQ anymore and no reachable trader at the moment. The situation was not different for me, all SR members were in this case.. no contacts with the other members and no idea about what to do... Then did we get a call of 2 Skid Row traders on our board here in Belgium. After some days of hesitation, I decided to take the leadership over because I did not want to see Skid Row dying. This meant at my eyes: - making the link between the different SR members again and decide about a new policy together; - release major cracks; - do our best till Zandor & Data-Stream come back. I began my part of the job. I was the head, and so had I to take the decisions. I found crackers, a trainer maker, got calls from many old Skid Row traders, and was offered demo/intro's by Chryseis. I asked them ECS and AGA crack-intros for our releases, and was even offered a trackmo for THE PARTY. The intros are now ready. The last problem was to find originals. I have been offered several deals, but all said the same thing: to get originals, I had to find calling cards, to give in exchange or to go & d/l them. This last part has been a total failure, I never found enough calling cards and so did I never get any original. A pitty when you know how much time it took me to organize... this real cracking factory. So did I never get originals for the waiting team.. so did our policy completely fail. For the moment, all members are still ready and still waiting for originals. Who did take part of this recovery movement ? The main actors/main old members are: DIOGENES - ME. BELGIAN SKID ROW CODER. BOWEN - AUSTRALIAN SKID ROW SYSOP AND TRADER. BLACK BEARD - AUSTRALIAN SKID ROW TRADER. SCOUT - GERMAN SKID ROW TRADER As you can see, I AM THE ONLY BELGIAN... As you can see, WE ARE ALL REAL SKID ROW MEMBERS. I have chatted with them 3 several times, we have decided all together to work TOGETHER on the Skid Row RESTABLISHEMENT. BECAUSE WE ARE NOT JUST MEMBERS - WE ARE SKID ROW BROTHERS, OUR GOAL WAS HAVING SKID ROW ROLLING AGAIN - IS IT A CRIME TO ORGANIZE SKID ROW TILL THE COME BACK OF THE LEADERS ??? HAD WE BETTER ALL LEFT THE GROUP AS IT HAPPENED IN LOTSA OTHER GROUPS ??? Their part of the job was trying to reach the most old members to get the Skid Row BROTHERHOOD strong. I assume they reached alot of other members, I know they were in contact with other members I never met myself. I was not the big boss, this was a cooperation, I didn't give any order, only proposals and they agreed. I have also been in (short) touch with SCORPIO. This guy will also be able to tell you we exchanged 2-3 messages and even if we never spoke about him helping us, never did he tell me I was a 'fake' member, never did he cause any problem, and I guess he is important enuff in Skid Row to cause problems.. My policy has never depended only on these few members. I got contacts with other people, indirect contacts via the other members, contacts with other 'well-placed' people like the leader of Rednex. All these people will tell you the same story as me... I have never considered this 'leadership' as a game, but well as a serious job. We all wanted Skid Row strong because we *love* our group, and ready for the leaders come back... Now I am sure Zandor and Data-Stream are happy to finally know the truth and I assume they understand us. If they don't, they may kick me, I don't consider it's a crime to help them till their problems with the cops are over. But I won't consider me kicked out till I get a call from one of them. Their task as leader is leading members, and so do I wish to get a call. This is normal, and this, I insist on this, is what I have been waiting for for weeks now. NUMBER: +32-2-331-38-09 NAME: GUEST PASSWORD: GUEST To the people who spread those rumours, I won't say anything. I perfectly know who did. I simply can't understand how you can enjoy causing problems to other people, spread f***g rumors. But never forget... spend your life annoying other people and one day will come you won't have any friend anymore. And please, stop talking about things you don't know. You are not in Skid Row, shut up and let us in peace. Diogenes / Skid Row Brotherhood
