Last words from Benny dear readers, virus writters, friends and enemies, I've been thinking about this step for very long time. I wasn't sure if the right time already became, if I still have anything to give to the VX scene and if the VX scene still have anything to give to me. I decided to abandon my virtual existency in VX scene under a "Benny" handle. I decided so because of many reasons that I will try to briefly explain here to you. I've learnt A LOT and I've got a feeling a scene cannot give me a more. by the last years the VX scene seems to be dying and I can't do anything with it. primitive shits are flooding the Internet and it seems nothing's gonna change at this point. there are still a lot of people that are interested in spreading and making damages rather than advanced technical stuff of viral infiltrations programming, which is imo much more interesting. every year there are less profesional virus writters and almost noone new is filling an empty space. friends I've got thru virus programming got worse or I've lost them. I VERY revere those friendships that last for 5 years I'm on the scene. I've got very cool job where I can really realise myself. I spend whole day in front of computer and I don't want to spend more time apart of the work. the life is also about something else than this. those teenager times when I could sit at the monitor screen even whole weekend are already away. many people think that I code viruses only because of publicity and fame. that's not true! if it would be, I'd already leave the scene at the first year being in 29A (I already appeared in newspapers), because that time my ego should already be satisfied. I've been always very much more interested in technical stuff rather than reading about myself in some stupid article in some stupid newspapers. even it is hard to believe, this is truth. those ones who don't believe this just envy or have wrong informations about me. the last thing that influenced my opinion if I should leave or not was a fascistic behavior of Darkman aka Johnlw on #virus channel on undernet.org. after a releasion of article in New York Times Magazine where a word "benny" appeared a few times he asked me to leave a channel and to not join anymore. he is high-op, he is the leader, he is right. Darkman used to be my best friend on the channel, in times when I was on the beginning of my VX career. those times are away. now the channel administrates a guy that hadn't wrote a single line of code for many years and only fucks people. that's a pity. however he can stick "his" channel together with his problems in his arse. I will stay using my nickname on Internet, in a real world many of my friends don't call me any other way. I can't stipulate in a future I won't write and publish any new code. if there will be an inspiration that I don't have right now. everything I've ever wanted to code I've already coded. all my goals I wanted to reach I already reached, not everybody can say this and I am very glad for that. it will be nice surprise if I will publish something in next 29A magazine. and it will be better than big disappointment if I would stay in the scene and do nothing, like many others do. here I would like to THANK all my REAL friends that I've found in the scene by that long time. and also thank 29A for giving me opportunity to show what's inside me. I'm very glad for that. honestly I can say that I've spent one of the best times in my life right in the VX scene and I wouldn't ever change it for anything. it was a big fun, it was big learning and it was perfect. thank you all that really deserve it, you know very well who you are. my e-mail address will stay valid and if anybody will want to contact me, he can do that. thanx to all for a big moral support! good bye in better times! ................................ . .
