Group History

Crux was formed by its main organizer Shane not with the intention of being a cracking group only, but also with a demo section. The demo section was dubbed "Crux Design", and was officially started around 1997. They recruited great demo reinforcements in the old Rebels coders Zulu & Grey, after they had been inactive on the scene for some months, which in their time were responsible for such classics as "Switchback" [10/94] and "Whammer Slammer" [12/94] for Rebels.

Unusually enough, they have TWO subgroups; The Frog Buds (TFB) and Dylem. They were at one time in (illegal) cooperation with Bad Karma, using the acronym CBK (Crux Bad Karma). There were rumours that the illegal Crux DIED, leaving only the demo section, "Crux Design" active. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

1996
Swedish Excel (doublememb) left to be in Balance only 06/96.
1997
Artwork's "Generation #24" reported that germans Grace (code) and Evrimsson (music) joined from Illusion, that Halikone, Sear and Pit left the group, that swedish Newt (gfx) left to be an Abyss member only [this actually happened 10/96].
