-------------------------° this months summary °-------
------------------------
-
before we start on ramblin .... i just wanna say how ha
ppy i am to see us
finally get a new header.  the old one was getting so ugly 
and distorted.
we did it, we have made this sixth release!  i take great j
oy in seeing a
group i've started actually last more than four or five pac
ks, and i just
hope that this time, plain will live.  this month we lost n
o members, and
hopefully the quality of the pack willbebetter
thanourlastrelease.
i want to  thank smokey for giving his advi
ce for the theme of the month.
before  i go on, i just want to say that i'm not to happy w
ith the amount
of inactive  members this month,  i think the number was to
 high and with 
that, i'm going to start cutting people who have been like 
that for three
releases.  with that, let us go to the rest of the informat
ion.

------------------------° updates for the month °------
------------------------
-
- cholera is mind-boggled on whether to go with just as
cii or ansi.
- new members, mean new flavour
- the passion lives, and we have actually made it to the 6t
h release
- ragamuffin aka bishop aka hexus likes to change his name 
monthly
- more and more people from irc join
- watOr confuses people with the "chalk" stunt, but it's tr
ue
- emmers is back, somewhere lurking about "emmers, oh emmer
s"
- we go back to the old toon way, and have group voting on 
new applicants
- ex-plain members doing well in the scene, next at six
- plain lives on ... an amazing breakthrough
- guess what?!  plaindraw is in affect, watch for it later 
on
- i'm getting confused, weird.
- new member rate ok, leaving rate ok, yet inactive rate hi
gh .. err.
- there was *no* virus in the #5 pack, surprising eh?
- and no .. canadians do not say 'eh' at all =)
- the plug is now a historical issue .. +1 (905) 475 - 2987
 experience it! 
- we are now sponsered by some couriers, let us welcome CIS
.
- yes this pack is late, but so was everyone else!
- as my excuse i'll just say it was an april fool's day jok
e.

------------------------° new members in march °-------
------------------------
-
this month we have acquired some new members. we are cu
tting back on just
accepting anyone, so we are going back to the old "toon tra
dition", group
votes are taken, and we go with the voting system, which me
ans the answer
will be received maybe a little later than usual. but this 
just re-asures
the quality of the group. now we move on to the new plainst
ers: velocity
has joined the plain squad from the local scene,  and a
re  proud to  have
him  along.  coming from apathy and odium comes this very  
talented ascii
artist spear, we are happy to have him board. c
heeze arrives from cia, as
he is good at his ansi doodles in fonting and pictures .. w
e are happy to
have him finally join. from the local scene, we acquire 
an improving pe-
rson, bubbles joins the ansi department. with his s
hort arrival to appear
in the scene, the whole sees great potential.  from  519  c
omes a freshly 
ansi logo artist sugar less.

--------------------------° members leaving °----------
------------------------
-
to my knowledge, we have lost two members. firstly, 
fluor goes on his way
and joins forces with acid, while the night angel d
ecides it best to keep
his loyality with ice.

--------------------------° courier section °----------
------------------------
-
couldn't have come at a better time, CIS (couriers in s
inc) run by Garroter
of plain and Master of Darkness of Dark, have asked to have
 plain be apart
of their operation, and we couldn't say no .. we thank them
 for this, once
again, this is great.

-----------------------------° plaindraw °-------------
------------------------
-
it's to be official soon, plaindrawshould be out lat
er on this year.  look 
for it soon ... sugar less is the operatee, and we are back
ing him up 100%
