1.1 the iCE thang..████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████let me explain to you something strange..███████████████████████████████████████fUEL was once a happy little belgian ansiproducing group..all our███████████████members were more or less close friends and lived a merry little██████████      life...till things changed... big, read huge, brother iCE proposed████████      to us a very tempting offer indeed..a merger..yes yes, a very ████████████      profitable merger for both of our groups.. we were even "allowed"█████████      to keep our own groupname, but with the extension "iCE euro"..so██████████      our merry little group became a merry bigger group..for a while...████████      things went on and we tried recruiting some more members for our██████████      ansidivision...but then what happend !? "no-noooo, you cannot take████████      american members obviously, because you are iCE Euuuurooo!"..  █████████████████ah yeah...hmm, that's true..now what...well, okay, we can live with ██████      that setback...let's find some european members then...no big deal..██████      BUT..(there's always a but in this kind of story:)...while recruiting█████      members, it seemed all they cared for was the iCE affiliation..they ██████      even deliberatly started denying their fUEL membership..hmm..this█████████      was time for some drastic action...after much consideration...████████████      so the fUEL ansi's in the iCE packs started being scarcer...till there████      were eventually none left.. another reason for fUEL quitting iCE was██████      that in a great group like iCE, one way or another, with or without
fUEL's ansi contributions, the pack would be full of quality pictures..█████████so what you get here is a lack of pressure to actually draw...██████████████████wh0w, that's cool, one could say..not drawing and despite of that being███      in one of the most famous and best groups in the world...even when you're
actually not doing any-fuxx0ring-thing, than sitting on your big fat
arse enjoying every greet you get..but it is not cool...nope not cool..███      because what happens when you don't draw for let's say 2 packs ? █████████      YOU GET DELETED FROM THE MEMBERLIST!! that's what you get sonny!██████████      yeah yeah.."active" memberlist they say...well... tell me where the ██████ █████"inactive" memberlist is then ...:P  █████████████████████████████████████ █████anways...we decided to quit iCE...no big deal..I doubt if anyone ever█████      hardly noticed we were IN iCE in the first place.. well, if ya didn't
...no big deal either, just remember we're single again! :)
ahwell...one way or another, we learned a lot from being part of██████████      such a legendary group as iCE..not only art-wise, but also scene-wise..█████████I sure hope you will agree with me after looking at this month's pack,

* dirty old people is a complete ansi-intro, or as ppl tend to call it,
a fake intro...nevertheless it was recieved well by the audience,prolly
not due to outstanding coding or graphics, but merely due to█funky
spaghetti coding (by thrasher/fuel), and outstanding animated ansi's

* a word of explanation is "really" needed here..tho' Necrofiliac might
not like it...but fair is fair. Allthough Necrofiliac won the ansi████████      competition, we do not feel very good about it (yeah yeah, YOU do Necro:)
What happend here ?█Necro did not have an ansi-compo entry this year, due
to the fact that he gave more priority to his vga picture..no sweat..
But at the partyplace, he was working (working!?) on a funny little
ansipicture, of two odd looking faces that were about 5 or six lines
long...still no problem..but then someone (who might that have been ?
<eg>) told him, "hey dude, that's funny, put some text above those
two bastards and let that ansi compete, I'm sure they'll show it coz
there won't really be that many entries in this compo" and then  █████████      somebody encouraged Necro and started thinking of funny things to write███      above the pic...so finally, what happend was...Necrofiliac won the ansi
compo with a complete ridiculous little ansi...(is it even worth calling
it an ansi?)... yep, that's what happend..it's actually too stupid
to be even true but that's actually what happend.. I guess Necrofiliac's██      popularity is heavily underestimated...at least his ego didn't suffer

So here's a word to all the ppl that voted on Necro's ansi...█████████████      "really...you shouldn't have..now look what you've done...you've made
the guy think he's god" (which by the way he is not, he's only the
