Group History

Defjam was born in Sweden towards the end of 1987, by Gehenna, Archmage and a third guy who quickly left the scene. They quickly became one of the REALLY big cracker groups in the dawn of the Amiga scene, but then just sort of fell apart, with no actual leaving occuring. Antiaction never really left or found a new group; today he is working as a computer game programmer. He was also the author of Defjam Packer 3.2 (and its forerunners Tetra-Pack, made while he was in Tetragon) and one of the Amiga's most used apps of all time, the archiver LhA.

In their time, Defjam also participated in a number of cooperations. The earliest was probably with Computerbrains Cracking Service (CCS), but there has also been coops with Red Sector Inc (late 88) and Angels (old).

1990

Around the middle of the year, the German division left to become a group in their own right, Supreme (old). It seems Defjam got a new German division though, since there are German members registered long after that.

• Swedish Crayone joined Strange (old).
• Finnish coder Smircher joined Vectra.
• Swedish coder T.Phraud/T.Phroud? joined Shining 8.
• Swedish sysop Mogwai ('STREETS OF FIRE') joined Agile.
• Australian trainer Caddy (03/91) joined the new Oracle.
• Buntz took with him the board 'SERPENT SOCIETY' from Amaze (old), but it was later closed in Defjam (pre 07/92).
• Swedish coder Il Scuro (Ron Birk, new 01/88) left the scene back in 1990. He is co-author of the PlaySID system, and he's been living in Boston, USA since 04/95.
• Eckhead joined Voice.
