Bitchin' ANSi Design Presents:
·───· The July 1993 BADPack ·───·

This month in BAD has been  a  very INTERESTING one, to say the least.
Many things have happened, and most of them prolonged the  compilation
of  the  pack.   BUT,  it finally has happened, and we now present you
with this quality piece of artwork.

Before I go	too  far,  be  sure  to  take  this  chance (if you're not
already) to load up BAD-0793.EXE.  With it, you will see some  amazing
ANSi  graphics  and  coding.  Also, you will be able to view both this
file and the  member  and  site  listings.   Special  thanks to Number
Cruncher for taking the time to code this.  He  is,  as  most  of  you
know, an ANSi artist, but  took  time  off  to do some coding.  I know
there's quite a few bugs in this, but I think we did a pretty good job
and the bugs should be out next time.  If you haven't  seen  any  bugs
yet, wait till you check out the Site Listing...

Ok,  now let's get to the nitty gritty of what has been so interesting
this month.  First off,  after  putting  the  last BADPack together, I
noticed that I left out the highly praised BAD Application  Generator.
So,  I  then tried to distribute it along with the pack.  But that was
one of the least of my  problems.   I also remembered that I forgot to
put Squirrel's last ANSi (that he did for BAD, anyway) into the  pack.
So, this month, both are in the pack.

We've also experienced the merging problems that many groups have when
trying  to become larger.  After grabbing and looking through the EViL
ANSi  Pack,  I  applied  my  board  for  a  distribution  site.   Soon
afterwards, G-MoNeY (head honcho at EViL) approached me and  asked  me
what  I  thought about a merge of two groups.  He told me that keeping
the name of BAD was just  fine  since  EViL was thought up quickly and
hastily.  Of course, since the quality of EViL  was  so  high  (and  I
expect it still  is),  I  agreed  to  this idea.  Unfortunately, after
trying  to  contact  him  to  get  the  final  touches  (and   ANSi's,
nonetheless),  I  cannot find out what has happened to the whole idea.
So, maybe next month, EViL and BAD will be as one.

Also, near the end  of  the  month,  I  was  approached by Zodiac, who
wanted to know if BAD wanted to merge with SoLo.  Not having heard  of
them  before,  I  asked for a sample of their work.  In it, I got some
nice ANSi's and a huge SVGA loader.   Since my moniter is such a piece
of shit, I was not able to view it, but two other members of BAD  said
it  was  amazing.   So,  I  then told Zodiac that it would be great to
merge with SoLo.  Again, while trying  to finish up the final touches,
it seems as if contact was terminated.  So, maybe  next  month,  EViL,
SoLo, and BAD will be as one.

But,  not  all  is  BAD  in  the  world of BAD, some of it is actually
bitchin'.  We have a  new  member  named  Jesa.   He's a new and young
artist, but he shows good promise and every new ANSi he does is better
than the last.  So, you should be seeing more of him soon.

Now, I'd like to remind everyone of what BAD  is  STILL  looking  for.
We're looking for new artists (be it ANSi, VGA or even poets), coders,
musicians, and couriers.  After ripping two songs this month, I'd like
it if we could get some original stuff out.  If you are in charge of a
large  group  or are just a member and are interested in joinging BAD,
contact me at the WHQ and I'm sure something can be worked out.

BAD is also looking for an  800  VMB.   It'd be used as a request line
and to tell everyone the current BAD news (no pun intended).  I'm sure
this would make things much easier for people to contact us.

We would like to welcome The Black Gate as our Western  HQ.   We  also
have  SEVERAL  more  distribution sites.  If you wish to become a dist
site or an HQ, fill out  the  BADAPP  and  send it to the WHQ and then
check back in a few days.  Most all sites are approved unless there is
already a site in the areacode.

I'd like to announce the addition of another part of the members list.
Since BAD is a relatively  small  group,  any  and  all help we get is
always appreciated, and ever since Section 8 has left  for  iCE,  he's
done  whatever  he  can  to  help  out  and look out for BAD.  So, the
members list  will  now  include  a  "Special  Members"  section where
people, like Section 8, who have helped out BAD time and  time  again,
will  be  listed to show that they are a part of BAD and do things for
us, even if they aren't represented in the pack.

Well, that's about all I have to say.  Sorry again about the delay  of
the pack, but  at  least  I  could  see  all  the  other groups ANSi's
beforehand  so  I could greet them on their quality.  At any rate, see
ya around.  laTeR...
