We're a cool group, so ││ you must worship us!  Yeah, that's it!  Worship!  Worship!  Worship!         │├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤│       ■ As most of you know, we went through some major clean up in the past ││ few months.  This month was our re-building month.  Last month, we kicked    ││ nearly half the group out.  The first day the pack went out, we picked up 8  ││ new members.  Unfortunately, only two of those were ansi artists (6 of them  ││ were very good vga artists).  Therefore, we still have a semi-small ansi     ││ section.  Our vga section is quite big, but we'll always take more high-     ││ quality vga artists.  We also picked up a rip artist, Diabolos, this month.  │├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤│       ■  Our pack went out on the fourth this month because we were still    ││ catching up from the late start of last month.  Last month we released our   ││ pack on the 8th because of laziness.  This month the delay was planned.      ││ With one more short month (next month), we should be back on our schedule of ││ releasing on a punctual schedule of the first of the month.                  │├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤│       ■  In the ansi section, we have named a new head.  After an almost     ││ mutual agreement, Hollow Point resigned/was demoted from his ansi head pos-  ││ ition last month.  He still does ansis, but he thought that he had too much  ││ work in the real world to handle running an ansi section, and we basically   ││ agreed.  So we had to decide on a new ansi head.  We wanted to get that done ││ before the October pack release, but we were still deciding between two of   ││ the candidates.  We finally chose Skarecrow.  We didn't do this because of   ││ unbelievable artistic talent, but because of leadership skills.  This month  ││ we picked up Zer0 and The Undead Sorcerer.  Zer0 is a great logoist and he   ││ also is experimenting with pics.  TUS has his own unique talent of ansi and  ││ he's great at it.  Dr. Phobic also joined the group as a talanted drawer.    │├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤│       ■ The VGA section is still run by Venom.  This month the VGA section   ││ picked up Quisling, Irq5, hFaze, Phantazm, Seagull, and NarTTeiK.  Quisling  ││ is a great artist and his vga in the pack is his very first attempt at using ││ Fractal Design Painter.  Irq5 has been using FDP for a little bit longer,    ││ but he, too, is relatively new at it.  He's been doing great with it.  hFaze ││ has been a d00dle b0y for a while.  He's an excellent hi-res artist and he   ││ improves incredibly with each vga he does.  Phantazm and Seagull come from   ││ the same area of the country, Arizona.  They are both pretty good artists    ││ and have unique styles of art.  NarTTeiK, the d00d with the wierd alias, is  ││ a great hi-res artist and he uses (gasp) Autodesk Animator Pro.  If you've   ││ got any doubts about him and his program, just look at his work.  :) Oh yeah ││ we also picked up Night Train.  I wouldn't forget you, boy. :P  He does low  ││ res work, ansi logos, and ascii.  He's a pretty cool d00d, as are most of    ││ the V0R M3MB3RS!!@#@#!@                                                      │├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤│       ■ We started an ASCII section.  We've got two members and two asciis.  ││ Night Train and Omicron is our ASCII artists.  They r00l, but we've only got ││ two asciis by them.  :~(                                                     │├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤│       ■ Dark Wolf finished up a project; he calls them 'V-LICS'.  After      ││ seeing the popularity of .BINs, he wanted to try unlimited dimensions in     ││ VGA.  So he set to work and did a few different 'pages' of a low res VGA in  ││ AAPro, and then had our coder create the loader.  This loader is basically a ││ 320x800 scroll-able VGA.  Several other vga members have plans to do similiar││ projects.                                                                    │├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤│        ■ Illuminate, our studly viewer, now has multi-interface support.     ││ To switch interfaces while in Illuminate, use the left and right arrow keys. ││ Illuminate now has .GIF support, as well.  So enjoy.                         │└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘                               uhh, this coloring sucks but it goes wif da logo
