this is Avenge may 1999 zII t h e For the first time in the history of Avenge we have not been able to release on the first For the first time in our history we only have 4 members submitting for the pack And for the first time Avenge is being abandoned by its members like rats from a sinking ship This doesn t mean that we hold a grudge towards our ex-members This doesn t mean that we don t understand them Because we have all participated in this decay somehow It is unclear to me if anything particular triggered this downfall but somehow that doesn t seem important It s time to look at the future The future of Avenge And we have Creator and me have discussed this many times And we have come to a decision Most of you have probably already guessed what it is Avenge is no more If you only knew how hard it is for me to even write this Ofcourse there are more reasons to why we have decided to kill Avenge Creator has expressed to me his desire of retiring from the group and I don t feel I can lead it by myself I just haven t the time And neither do I feel that anyone could replace Creator at the current time His extensive work with this group has always been cruical to its survival and health Personally I haven t been around as much as I think a leader should be thereby not fulfilling my position the way I wanted to in the first place For the guys that are left I feel terribly sorry to have to dissapoint them They are all very dedicated to avenge and this surely is not their fault If we only had more members like them this wouldn t have happened Our decision is also based upon that we feel Avenge shouldn t have to disgrace itself by going out with smaller and smaller packs of lesser and lesser quality shaming our own name Avenge is worth more than that to us I d like to extend some thanks to the following Creator - for being one of the best recruiters and leaders ever Skaboy - for being one of the most dedicated coders I ve seen and for always being around with his support Whitetrash - for founding Avenge our web team - for top notch skills Gasol - for staying with this group and not ever giving up everyone of our past and current members everyone who ve ever drawn for Avenge everyone who ve ever helped us out and all of the ansi scene for giving us competition (Hope I didn t forget anyone) Sorry for giving up on you As for my own future I haven t really decided All I know right now is that I will continue to draw ansi just as much as before One more thing I never want to see any so-called revivals of Avenge No one could ever recreate what me creator and our members have achieved To revive a group is only to disgrace its name That s about all I had to say If you need to know anything else contact me on IRC or via beyotch@hotmail com And thus was the end of one of the greatest groups that ever existed I blame no one Zeus II may 14th 1999
