- Well. I guess you all know what this text is about, because the news got around
- in the scene faster than fire. It's true - Motiv8 is dead now.
-
- You may ask why it's dead? To explain you that I must start telling you some
- Motiv8 history. 5╜ years ago Crossfire started the C64 division of Motiv8 and I
- got a part of it from the beginning as cracker. Motiv8 C64 has run for years,
- but now most of the members of the C64 division left Motiv8 to join C64 division
- of Fairlight and Motiv8 C64 died. After I got the news I was a little bit
- shocked, but I understood Crossfire 100%. I started in the PC scene 5 years ago
- and created the PC division of Motiv8 - I wont tell their story, because I think
- you already know it. Now C64 division of Motiv8 is dead and it had the rights to
- their name. It means that Motiv8 PC would be fake. Alot of you wont understand
- this point, but I know Solar of Divine & F4CG will. Personally I wont end up
- like Class did and steal the groupname from some other people. If you wonder why
- I bring Class into this is, because there have been a C64 group called Class and
- none of those people are in Class PC - nothing I will judge on.
-
- Motiv8 has been around for a long time and alot of people has been through. If
- you look on the couriergroups today most of them is my "kids" or they have been
- teached by my "kids". Im glad to see most of you got further in the scene and it
- has always been the most important thing for me.
-
- Before I end this note I will thank alot of people - I cant write everyone here
- as this note will be pretty big:
-
- Motiv8 Members: Thanks for your great work - Im sure you get further in the
- scene and I hope you will keep the spirit that the scene is
- friendship.
-
- Blastman : You get a personal note as you has been in Motiv8 for a very
- long time and helped me many times when we had those famous
- splits. I know you have created a new group and I wish you
- good luck. You did a great work in Motiv8 and I know you will
- do the same in your new group.
-
- Vortexia : A personal note for you too. Thanks for helping me several
- times. You did alot of good things for Motiv8 too, but didn't
- you forgot to finish the setup of the SQUID machine. Good luck
- with the new group together with the rest.
-
- Thoran : Well - We have been together in the same group since fC died.

-
- Solar : One of the few active people from the C64 scene, who got to do
- something big in the PC scene. Good luck pal - I know you are
- one of the few guys who understand me in this situation.
-
- Ex. Motiv8 Members: Thanks for being in Motiv8. I don't know if you see this as
- alot of us already left the scene. To all the people who was
- in Motiv8, but still are active in the scene keep up the
- good work - I can see alot of you use your experience.
-
- Ordnance&Ninja/RTS: Keep RTS alive! You and Risc is the only old couriergroups
- around now. You had ups and downs like Motiv8, but like us
- you know how to get it running again. Btw Tech is doing a
- great job. It was fun when RTS, Motiv8 and RiSC were alone.
-
- Porter&Eagle1/RiSC: No matter what happend RiSC has always been here. Keep the
- old spirit pals. It was fun when RTS, Motiv8 and RiSC were
- alone.
-
- Dizzident/Devotion: Now I aint busy anymore - wanna play fish? :) Anyway I know
- how you feel about the news that Motiv8 died. Most of us
- has the same feeling, but keep up good Dev work. Did Wazza
- join you yet? If not - get him as he's a great guy.
-
- Paradigm Members : Looks like I get some more time for Paradigm now. You are
- all great friends and I love seeing that the old guys keeps
- the same spirit as me.
-
- #warez : Alot of you has been in Motiv8 too and it's great we have
- a place where we still can talk. This is generally for all
- #warez people for all the irc-networks (Efnet, Alter, Dbn3).
-
- Specific Siteops : You all know who you are and I wont mention you with name
- here because all the lamers will flood you with mesgs. I'm
- glad that you wanna spread this note for me, so everyone
- knows the real story.
-
- Well - I could continue for hours saying thanks to several people. If you doesnt
- aint in this note it's not because I forgot you - the note will be in the same
- size as 1 disk. So to the rest who aint mentioned here these lines is for you.
-
- A last question I will answer before I end this note. What is going to happend
- with me now?
-
- Right now I don't be in any courier group as alot of group changes because of
- the disappear of Motiv8 and the groups shall be able to do it without my
- influence. In meantime I will stay in Paradigm, but if you think you have a
- great offer for me - tell me - and I will prolly choose one of them soon.
-
- Thanks for reading this note and Thanks for the support of Motiv8 through all
- the years. I know a big part of the courier scene history disappears now, but
- we all has to face it.
