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.

Ask TBB/Arcade or Aslive/RSI. Then you will feel defeated. ;) |

Were there many people in the USA that swapped or was that mostly a Euro thing? I remember going to a copy party or two, but I mostly got my stuff from BBS's.

Id like to hear from Anthrax/Chrome here - from what I remember he was pretty hardcore.
I only ever swapped with 1 person - Jazzcat. And we only swapped one or 2 times. This was probably in about 93-94?
Im not a swapper, Im a coder :)

I swapped with Anthrax and I remember he always sent phonecards (not cc's) and I had a hard time getting swedish ones to send back to him.
I called him some years ago when I made it back into the scene, but I don't remember much from that conversation. I believe he picked up though :-) |
