Fake Groups
Why do we have fake groups (lamer labels) as well as proper groups. I know some people may have released SEUCK and BASIC games, etc. but in the 1980's/Early-mid 90's, no matter what, A proper cracking group released these. Hotline, Triad and Mayhem released a few SEUCK games. Then some groups formed fake lamer labels known as 'The Bing0 Team', 'Urine', 'B0B', 'ORI' and a few others. Very strange.
Can anyone please tell me why we have these fake groups, when proper groups can actually release these games, like they did in 1980's or early 90's? Okay so you wont get bonus points for this, but fake groups is quite silly. |

Which lamer label was the most funniest you ever seen?
I think "The Bing0 Team" had the funniest name for a lamer label. But what's this handle 'Brian-Igen-Igen' supposed to be about? Was "Fat F#@&%s" the same as "The Bing0 Team", because Brian-Igen-Igen was also involved with that group too. |

"igen" is a danish word that means "again", so in english it'll be "brian-again-again".
As far as i remember there was a radio program once which had a a character called brian that said that "brian igen igen" all the time, which was very popular (people thought it was funny) - so the name is probably from there. |

Nah, that makes the whole thing sound *far* too serious, it's all about fun; look at the group names, they're not taking *anything* seriously...
The games released on fake labels are normally the ones that look like they only had a few weeks work by the developers and, if that's the case, why should a serious crack be attempted?

Wouldn't it be nice if something similair happened in the mp3 world, that means: lower sound quality for bad songs? |

Sure, nothing worse than being in dialup and getting a bad tune. If only the tunes I found good were the only ones online... :)
I guess many people have reasons for fake groups. Some for simple and obvious reasons, others to attack other groups from some anonymous angle although if you know the right people you could trace it back to a single source. |

Igen also means "YES" in hungarian. So if the Brian we are speaking about was actually a hungarian (Brian / GRF? :-) iy could also mean Brian - Yes, Yes.
