• Swedish musician Dezecrator joined Chaos A.D., where he was also a sysop. Did he have a board in X-Trade?

• German swapper Slam (ex Acrid, new early '93) joined Essence.
• Swedish musician Gorgonzola joined Limited Edition.
• German swapper Lightforce (ex Desert) joined B.A.S.F.. However, Mirage's "Eternal #2" claims he joined Endless Piracy...I have not been able to confirm him in either place.
• The 'HORROR ZONE' BBS (usa) was kicked.
• Swedish sysop Kreator ('A-BASE') joined Devils.
• Deicide joined Addonic.
• Swedes Deelite (music, ex Enigma), Accord (Patrick Johansson, music, '91-'92) and Diesel got tired of the bad organizing and formed their own group, Vomit. Nowadays, Deelite and Diesel are in Razor 1911, and Accord has left the scene.
