"PiLF 4 LiFe!"  Okay... how's it been. As you know it's been a while since the last FLiP Release. This is perhaps the longest period of time in between a release in all of FLiPhistory. There are several reasons for this... namely all of us have lives outside of our little cyberspace scene and being the end of the school year it was pretty hectic. Anyhow, the last official release was FLiP-30 which came out the end of March. Let me dispel any rumors... for one the group is not dead, we have had a period of inactivity as a whole [kinda like your favorite Image(tm) title I suppose]. Second, we have lost a few members and we bid them a warm farewell as Faust, Cheech  The Sneech, Redcoat, CMD, G33k, and Arsenik has left to form a new group named Torrent which released their first and second packs July and August (check them out) and I think Entranced (their music division) released their first music disk this month. Despite some rumors circulating that I will NOW kill... THERE IS no BAD BLOOD BETWEEN TORRENT AND FLIP! Anyhow, we'd like to welcome the new freeloaders to the island! Let's give a warm welcome to the new courier Angus(+46) and his bulletin board Fortress. Let's welcome Chronic Death(810) to Clan FLiP whose expertise is CTF. Since the groups period of inactivity, I am still updating the memberlisting, please send any corrections, additions, or deletions. I also know that the 313/810 scene has split again an have a new area code namely 248, if you fall in this category, please let me know for corrections. This month there are some name changes: c2(503) is known as mrnully and Dark Soul(313) is Majestic. Also, please welcome the elevated Majestic as the NEW art department coordinator (vacated by Arsenik). We also welcome Lady Jynx(313) to the courier department also. More news... flip.org is down. Sorry about that. We're attempting to contact Starvo about it. Second, Dinugz no longer has access to his old account where the old flip webpage was setup on so it will NOT be updated for the newer releases. A new site/page is in the works so stay tuned. Two other projects, namely FLiPnet and Reversified have temporarily been put on the backburner (if not scrapped) due to lack of support or interest. Ummmmm, Faust is no longer maintaining #flip on EFnet, but many thanks to Redcoat  and mrnully for putting bots to hold the channel up. But in recent days, it appears that the channel has been taken over. So an alter- native channel is #flip97, so see you there when #flip is not available. What does the future hold for flip? Well, we participate in what is perhaps the most volatile and ever changing scene we know as cyberspace. FLiP Productions is prepared to evolve as necessary to endure. We at flip are determined to endure, perhaps that is one of the best qualities of flip is that we plan to be around even when things get rough. I believe we owe it to the members, we offer a group that will be around and their efforts will NOT be wasted with a fly by night group. FLiP has been around the bbsworld since 1994 slowly shifting to the internet. What does the future hold? Well we want to get back to our roots and reinhabit the dying bbsscene for it is where all of us have spawned. We want to emphasize that we all have lives outside of cyberspace and that flip as a group seeks to be a vessel of the expression of talent to the masses and to frankly have fun while doing it (let the seniors have the headaches..eheheh). We invite the old school bbs sysop, we invite the talented artisitc person who does not see the limit- ations of conventional pop art, we invite those who just wanna have fun to join flip for it is people like you that make everything worth the while (as always, flip is accepting applications and members for all positions). Unfortunately those seeking to be ONLY distribution sites will no be entertained, we are putting more emphasis on member boards. Anyhow, I suppose that is about it and enjoy the pack. The next release is slated end of December so be on the look out. Many more exciting things to come... ;}   Catastrophe (FLiP Senior)Dinugz (FLiP Senior) catastrophe@hotmail.comcriscokid@hotmail.com SAUCE00PiLF ReLeaSe #31 Information Multiple FLiP PRoDuCTioNS 19971031ƒ
