| Our top story: |
: This pretty much officially puts the final nails in the :
| coffin for Quad-P Productions. I could spend the extra time trying |
| to "pretty up" the pack, but I think this gives a better feel of |
| the kind of people we really were: not caught up in looking pretty, |
| but interested in getting the job done. Even a year later, this |
| feels like a rush, but it had to be done. Can't we all just get |
| along? |
| While the group won't be releasing AS a group anymore, I |
| would like to think that we will still carry the label on to us |
| with other ventures. I dislike thinking that we're simply stealing |
: Tinyz's idea, but I really would like to think that we can continue :
| to do independent releases under the qdp label. |
| Quad-P has been my cozy little home for more years than I |
| can remember. Hiro gave me a shot, as he is prone to do, and I |
| have never forgotten about that. Even in the days of Revolt, and |
| now with Remorse, PiPE, and Codine, I still look upon Quad-P as |
| my focus. It's because of this wacky-assed crew that I got to the |
: places I have, and for that I will be forever thankful. No matter :
| where I end up in the future, I will always be wr<qdp> first and |
| foremost. |
| We had originally hoped to send Quad-P out with a bang, but |
| with 11 months passing since the last release, most people already |
| have assumed that the group is dead. So let's view this as a wake |
| for the dearly departed. Sit back, grab something to drink, and |
: reminisce about the 'P. We have managed to get some of our favorite :
| boys from around the world to give us some final thoughts. You will |
| find them spread throughout the pack, either as stand-alone textfiles |
| or hidden in pieces somewhere. To those of you that have supported |
| us over the years, we thank you. To those of you that haven't, maybe |
| it's time you took a closer look at what the 'P has stood for. Lots |
| of groups have come out in the past years that attempted to copy our |
: philosophies, but they just haven't captured the essence of what made :
| us who we are. |
| The simple fact is, we were always better than you. We didn't |
| rely on the internet or stealing members from "well known" groups in |
| order to improve our positions. The vast majority of our members came |
| from a population base of under 5million. At times we have been |
| solely based in an areacode that holds less than 1million people. At |
: no time did we feel it was time to be something we weren't. What :
| are we? Pound-for-pound, we're the best damned thing to come along |
| in the past 12 years. |
| That's enough of a rant from me for now. You'll find another |
| discussion by me elsewhere in the pack. For now, amuse yourself by |
| checking out all the old member lists that have been included in here. |
: I'm about to step back from the spotlight and let the other boys take :
| a turn around the dancefloor. |
| Never forget to keep the faith and fight for what you want. |

| From Mithrandir: |
| I'm sure whatever I write won't be half as good as what hiro puts out. |
| He's always been the eloquent one. I've got no comments on the "scene",|
| or where all the boards have gone. I don't really care about the what |
: happens to the underground anymore, now that the P' is gone for good :
| (is it? =). So i'ld just like to say it's been a pleasure working with |
| you all. We had a time going there for awhile, that will never again |
| be repeated quite so stylishly. I'll miss chillin with you all so much,|
| keep in touch. |
