bedlam decided to call it quits from the art scene in general, due to lack of time.. (something we should do :>) his art ratings homepage, ankh, has also followed in a dismal death.

samsara released their last pack..

november

anubis from fORCE Productions didn't release a thirteenth pack from fear of the evil goblins that would eat him if he he did, so he skipped it and released a pack 14 instead.. a true story really!

december

acid!ansi are reportedly merging with twilight, but no official word is out.. just a rumour.. sources close to twilight say it's not happening..

acid!ansi is a seperate group to acid, after a well reported split of almost the entire division from ACiD productions turned out not to be entirely true - though for some reason hardly any on the ACiD ansi department are producing work. Something which i hope will be rectified.. Cool T and others within ACiD Productions were not happy with how the ansi department was being run, so they hicked it.. check out the full interview with Cool-T in the interviews section. Radman is none too happy with the reported split. when being asked about the acid!ansi controversy he said, and i quote "It's very false. Some guy thinks he owns the ACiD name and can start his own group called Acid!Ansi. He's on crack."

a new group brawn has entered the scene..

other groups to debut this month are: project 301, fade, plan nine from outer space (!), simple!ascii, smoke, and tripp.

stuffs me when it happened in 1996

ACiD!ascii and trank!ascii have merged now forming remorse!ascii, respawning the ascii group after it's earlier death

apathy is dead

candelbra died.
