Group id #148 : Fantastic 4 Cracking Group
Wouldn't it be more fitting to have F4CG as main name, and the long form as AKA, nobody back in the days used the term 'Fantastic 4 Cracking Group', neither their members nor someone else in mags or greetings. Looks weird.
Looking at SHAPE, they used their short form too. |

Fantastic 4 Cracking Group is the name, F4CG is the acronym.
If we should follow this suggestion by you we would have to rename a lot of old groups. Scouse Cracking Group would be SCG, Swedish Cracking Crew would be SCC, German Cracking Service would be GCS & so on..
There are a few exceptions though, SHAPE being one (Supreme Headquarters Allied Programmers Europe) so I totally get your point & in a way it's a bit contradictionary but I'm all against renaming F4CG. |

Well, I think you can draw the line between those groups were the long form was common knowledge like GCS and those were the long form was rarely used like F4CG or even more NATO. (big quiz: what does it stand for? dont look at their profile ;)
North Atlantic Treaty Organization is a wrong answer. |

In my own database I have a flag for this: Acronym or real name being more common. |

Something strange has been occurring apparently in the PC crack scene. There are several recent releases out in cyberspace from a group that claims the name F4CG on it's cracks. Looking up the entry for F4CG here, there is no mention of them being in the PC scene and their last C=64 release was in 1999. On one of the crack patches they use, there is a remix of the SID from the game "Commando". Is this an offspring of the original F4CG or a copy-cat group? |

Shadow: F4CG is active on the PC scene, and well that there is nothing listed here about it is logic, this is a pure c64 only forum. |

The PC F4CG is a copycat group. No old/original members are involved.
Just using the name, living on the old fame.
