First I would like to note the following,
        
        1) This is not the work of any GROUP such as two of the other groups
           that are mentioned in this article, Nexus or SCUM

        2) This is not the work of any BBS or Sysop such as the file capture
           from the Mirage BBS


ALF - the MOST IRONIC NAME of the CENTURY!

a short while ago the lamers over at ALF, put out a little text file saying
how lame Nexus was for a dupe release of Epic Pinball and that so many groups
were lame and that they were the 'up and coming' group in the scene.  Now,
here's the story of a bunch of lamers who wish that they could be even
one quarter as good as Nexus.  Well, since the start, all of the "elitest of 
the elites", who have accounts on the major systems in the country like 
Mirage and Unlawful Entry, just to name the best two, knew how lame ALF 
really was, however the average and even good pirate was often unaware how 
lame this group really was, NOW it's your turn to learn!  Since their 
beginning, ALF has released loads of DUPES, in fact more than any other group 
that claims to be good, (obviously not counting little lame groups who know 
they suck) now I am not saying that I ever acknowledged ALF as being good, 
nor even respectable, but as shown by their leaders attitude and their nfo 
files, it is not hard to tell that they think that they are Hot Shit.  Now,  
this bunch of cocky lame assholes need to be put in their place.  Let me just
try and remember the loads of DUPEs that these bunch of lamers have released,
ORCAD 386 for PCB, C/C++ TOOLS 2.0, Bart Simpson, and just yesterday, 
Imagine Math Factory 1.0, Imagine Pages 1.0, Imagine 3d Surf 1.0..., just to 
name a few, and I won't even to begin to get into the countless releases they 
see floating around on the boards that dont have a group name attached to 
them and they take them and repackage them as their own.  Look how sad they 
are... and Mr. Phillie loose the fucking attitude.  One last note, I have 
seen other groups get NUKED this badly, one to note is SCUM, however the sad 
thing is that just about all of their releases are legit, except for that
OS/2 High Performance beta, but as I have noted, it is group politics that is
the reason for this as one of their rival group's members is constantly 
getting their stuff NUKED everywhere for no reason at all.  Well just keeping  
the scene informed and here are the file listings from Mirage to show just how
old some ALF's most recent releases, Imagine Math Factory, Imagine Pages,
and Imagine 3dSurf really are!



FROM THE MIRAGE BBS - after doing a 'Z' scan for 'Imagine' through ALL dirs
                      not even just the upload dir, these things are that old!
