Surprise! Productions

Surprise! Productions (S!P)
S!P started life as a subgroup of TRSI in 1991, serving as their demo section until the following year, 1992. The split with 'mother group' TRSI resulted in germans Flynn, TSM, Warhead, Dreamer and Peachy leaving the group for TRSI itself. The rest of the group thus became a subgroup of Scoopex from 1992 til 93, when the group once and for all started to live life as a completely independent entity.

'EVERYWARE's sysop is not a S!P member, but Zike is a cosys on the board.
