(i'd like to take this ßßÛÜß  opportunity to say goodbye to our original mascot, psion, since we administered a "fatal beating" to him just after the release of our 4th pack. we had to take the winter off to console his family, dig up hisÜ  grave, and attach various objects to his rotting corpse. rest in peace, ÜÛßÜß dave.) the last of our additions is a phreaking group, phoenix 201. ÛÛÛÛÛÛ they're gonna get us all those cool 800 confs so we can chat. ßßßÛÛ m3mbER cHAngez: this month, Number 28 basically decided to quit the scene for the most part. he'll still be drawing every so often, and contributing to the general mayhem that is mOp.  skadistic, our groupie, has shown his artistic skills to us for the first time, participating in a joint vga with tweed; he will still remain our groupie though, since computer art isn't really his talent. lastly, scribble has changed his handle to meep, and that change will take effect in next months memberlist, since all his stuff this month is signed "scribble." ÜÜÜÜÜ meMb3r lOSsez:  ÜÜÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛÜ  ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜ we got rid of three members this month; halaster, 7 degrees,  ßßßÛÛÛÛÛßßß and mephistopheles; they never drew us anything and although ßß they were pretty cool and all, we had to let them go. (i hear halaster's got some little project called fire or something; another little group trying to be as cool as mOp.) iNTern3t sTUffz: we got a rad irc bot for #mOp, mr_smiley. it's main purpose is to accept dccs that you want to send to us. if you want to send a file to us mOp seniors, type "/msg mr_smiley hello" then dcc send the files to it, and we'll have them within a day (this is the most efficient way to send your apps to us, and after getting quite a few apps through the web page, we have to say that we'd much prefer you give us an actual app, since we can't see your work if you use the app on the web page). I've also started a very successful web page, Ankh, which grades as many packs as i can find. mOp's not directly related to the project except that i run it, so its not biased towards mOp in any way. ÜÜÛÛÜ ßßÛÜß m3mbeRS w4nTEd: we're especially looking for ansi pic artists, as we don't have very many, and right now vga is a large proportion of our pack. so if you're good at long ansis, please apply so that our pack can be more rounded out. tHanX & gR3etz: we want to thank unsane, for giving us the mOp logo for our memberlist, ÜÜÜÛÜÜ  to magnetic m for the font you see at the top of this file,  ÜÜÜ ÛÛÛÛÜÛÛÛ and astro 3d for setting up mr_smiley for us. greets to ßÛÜÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß everybody in #acid and #ice, and screw you to maytricks and  ßßß ßß    all the guys who DIDN'T join mOp this month. mOp acR0nym o' dA month:   mystically outsanding pack! - tweed & bedlam quOTe o' da mONth:  we've decided to mention the most amazing quote we hear during the month, no matter where it came from. this month's was actually heard last month and left out of the memberlist.
