Around 87-89 I had atleast 3 contacts! Does that qualify me to be called "Megaswapper" ? |

It doesn't count when you just copy them from diskmags, you know ;) |

No diskmags, was a swapper for a demo-group.
Good times in Venlo !! |

when i started swapping in 1995-1996 i only got a couple of disks and one magazine, the tribune #51 with a lot of outdated adresses so it was hard to get any contact.the scène also was on its way back to the underground. Well, i was happy with my 80 ctx. Costs were never a problem.i was cheating with 'port payed' stamps.works great! And glue on stamps works too. |

I guess around 60-80 active contacts for about 10 years! ... but i sometimes did send out over 100 packs at once. The one that sent out the most packs at once must have been Aslive/Hysteric... He sent out to over 500 people at once i remember.... |

I topped 200 contacts when I joined Dominators, but upon finding the joys of phreaking I gradually stopped swapping entirely. The 200 contacts would get one shipment from me per month, otherwise the cost of stamps would get out of control (as if it hadn't already, heh). I tried cheating stamps, but got caught.
All in all it was great fun. 5-15 disks waiting for me after school every day. I'd zip through them in about an hour and be on my merry way. |

It was always about calling boards and getting my own stuff, never swapped really. I did swap with Fletch, or was it Excell for some Euro scene paper mags and stickers.

Hello!
From 1987 to 1990/1991 I swapped with a LOT of different people. Hard to say any exact numbers now but fairly 250 different contacts during the time. And thats CONTACTS, do not take count on all those "Wanna swap?"-sendings I got..
At most I swapped with some 120 contacts but I often guided people to swap with other Contex (or Action Force/Byterapers) members.
When Rockstar & Drake kept feeding me with their numerous cracks and our demo-section was active, I kept on sending _our own_ stuff up to 5 times a week to my best contacts (which I reduced finally to about 25 of them). This lasted from 5/89 to 5/90 (or close).
But talking about MEGASWAPPERS, I'd like to hear more from Mr.Smart/Contex, Grendel/(B) and Antichrist/G*P which I know were hell of a swappers... :-D
-Flex / Contex.
