Lastly as a part of brood of hatred diskmag or as s5 would say broom of hatred I d like to say that I thought that we did a fairly decent job Next time please don t go defaming the work of respected scene members like diezynik fonebone & eerie for simply being associated with chaotic prisoner in this production Calling our work crap I personally warned him not to flame unsane but he did not listen He has now payed the price In the future please do not bring myself or any of the above people into your witch hunts Finishing off I d like to say that I ve never had a scene argument and I never will I have never had any problems with unsane and he seems to me to be a fairly normal guy who happens to be a very good artist In my experience if you dont like attitudes and the stuff that happens in #ansi (its usually all a big joke) just don t join it Already I think I have said too much This isn t my problem However I thought that since he was an ex-member of fORCE we atleast needed to make an official statment - Legend n e w h q fORCE how have a new HQ in the middle east Yes there actually is a scene there so we are very happy to have an outpost there in the form of the electric cube This board will soon also be carrying ForceNet which will mean that you to can talk to fORCE Members through Forcenet f o r c e n e t ForceNet seems to be growing at a rapid pace As I said before we now have a Middle Eastern (bahrain) HQ and we have also picked up two new boards in the US With ForceNet now in North America Australia and the Middle East it should be easier (and cheaper) for boards to join in The new ForceNet info pack will be in this month s force pack w w w p a g e The fORCE www page is currently being re-written Check it out sometime next month to see the new cool changes The old page will still be in place for the time being - Legend Legend s Blah forceview 2 was extremely rushed this month Because of this rush a number of features were left out bugs were left in All features will be added all bugs will be removed in the coming months Please keep a look out for new versions of forceview 2 We will always be adding new and cool features So expect more from us when we have more time =) I ve decided to do a way-cool pic in the pack award This award is nothing but a little way of saying i really like your work or you ve really come a long way since the last pack great improvment And the winner is drum roll Criminal Enigma for his WAY-COOL Xposed pic Anubis Blah Hey its my turn again to say somthing YaY!!
