Group History

Decade were a German-based group formed in september 1991, mainly dealing in the modem scene, but also releasing the odd crack and demo. The two organizers are Chris and Jade (collectively known as the Booze Brothers :), who were in crews like The Company and Valhalla (old) before founding Decade. Chris joined with a board called 'LOST ISLAND', which is now closed. After a while, some of the leading members felt the crew was being let down by some of the other members, who they didn't want to kick since they were old friends. The solution was to let the crew die in january 1992, only to revive it three months later with ELITE only members. Spider closed his board 'DREAM PARK' in late 1992 or early 93.

1992
January saw the release of the "Decade is Dead" [01/92] intro, in which they announced that coder and graphician Electron (03/91) left the scene, Jim Beam and Jonny Walker left for another group, and Milkracer (code train, 03/90) left for Zylon. Nico left for Accession around october.

Creator joined Elevation.

German graphician Silicon Master was kicked mid 91, and an intro called "Anti Silicon Master" [08/91] was released.

Do-X (ex Timex, new mid 91) joined UDO.
