1                  THE SCENE - ARTICLE NUMBER 2001

I can't understand people who are claiming our beloved scene is dying, I simply
can't!
Well, I see it that way. When I got my internet access some weeks ago and by
this became an elite scener I only had two interest from that point on. And
My first interest is chatting via IRC. And if you look at the risng numbers of
people joining the IRCs you really cannot say that the IRC-Scene is dying out!
As long as there are still people left who are able to use their keyboard there
will always be an IRC-Scene!
my second interest is of course downloading stuff and during the course of my
whole scene career there was always plenty of stuff for download. Ok, the death
of 8hornet^4 surely left a big hole but now where its transfers to 8scene.org^4 are
almost finished this hole should be closed once and forever. There is always
enough stuff for download and will ever be.
And even if not, then there still would be the possibility of simply buying new
stuff! There are dozens of scenestuff cdroms available, e.g. the ones from
8Breitklops Mailorder^4, so where is the problem???
I don't see one and everyone who does needs some new glasses I would say!
