-+[ The BackGround Of iR ]+- Immortal Riot was formed by two persons, Metal Militia and The Unforgiven. Metal Militia had been an active comput-o-holic since many years back, while The Unforgiven (me), is a bit newer in the scene. My interest of virus/trojan, and other 'dangerous' stuffs first started, when I got in contact with an underground artist called himself Lixo. This Lixo is the coder of LixoNuke (Based on Tormentors Nuke). Lixo told me he got over 800-viruses, and I was ofcuz a greedy one, who wanted them all. But in those fine days, I just got a 24oo modem, and he didn't wanted to pass over all of ‚m to me. (That cheap bastard only gave me 47 .common .com viruses). After that I started to build up my own virus collection, I called different virus-system around. But it was actually really hard to get in a elite-virus system with a 24oo modem. I tried with the famoust virus system here in Sweden like for example Tormentors BBS (Swedish Virus Laboratory), but didn't get any account. Later when I bought a 144oo modem, Tormentor had closed down his system, of the reason of every newspaper wrote bad articles about him, (Fuck You Mikael Winterkvist!), and all the doors to get a bigger collection seemed to be closed. I started up a board, and got many new contacts, for example the other founder of iR (Metal Militia). We gave eachother our whole virus collections, and I got a bigger underground conference. When I was running the board, I noticed that many people actually had the same interest as I, and everyone seemed to hate Winterkvist just as much as I did for cutting the scene into pieces. Since Demoralized Youth didn't released any new viruses anymore, we decided to form a new group. We got some real other nice connections with another virus group located in Sweden, called A.N.O.I. And would just start some virus-exchange, when I closed down my board. The whole connection between ANOI and iR was closed. iR released a virus or two, but they were never well spread (Not even the source-code). I wanted to share all the nice stuffs with the other folks around the globe, and started doing a magazine, which I know is appreciated by the major public. Here we are, and I really hope you'll enjoy this magazine, cuz if you don't, many hours of drawing, writing, coding will be wasted! I think you by this time knows a bit about how about iR was formed, so I quit with this article, and looks at the new mutations which will be included in this issue! [The Unforgiven/iR]
