Where did your cracks come from in the past?

Refering to the latest posts here by Oswald and Jailbird:
Fairlight Intro (the Legendary one)

From which crackers/groups did the most cracks come from you got in the past?
I remember most of the games I copied from schoolmates had Ikari or Hotline intros in front. Also some Triad wares came along. The rest was very mixed.

Talking about local groups, in 1987 or something I got plenty of stuff from Yeti-Factories and also by Knights Against Protection, both from Munich. There must be more KAP stuff than the few that is in the database. Hope these things pop up one day.

@rough: although the mere size of this db is astonishing, it's even more astonishing that probably at least twice as many or more releases are still missing (just my personal guess). Reminds me that there a still a few disk coffins to transfer in my shelf...

"JEDI" and "GCS" (1984), later mostly "Section 8" and "Dynamic Duo".

This sounds familiar to me... (whistling...)

ps. I don't think coffin is the proper word unless your disks are already demagnitified...

well... though I don't think they are... who knows if you never take the time to tranfer'em ;)

Just kidding, indeed I find it kinda amusing that what we used to be told in school and mags, the whole "magnetic data storage won't be any good for more than 10 years" was proven sooo wrong. If you only take properly stored 30 years old magnetic media into account, maybe one of 50 disks and even less tapes are partially corrupted, while I can dump a great deal of optical storage media such as CDRs/DVDs etc which are only half as old.
