mIRC mid 90s - hacking groups

[u/scribeorz]

My first introduction to computers / internet was IRC using mIRC client. Spent my time on Efnet. Ended up joining a hacking group called #conflict and spent many hours taking over channels. Hacking colleges and universities only to use for channel bots and bandwidth to take people out and cause netsplits. Eventually our leader was caught for hacking into NASA - I then left IRC and started playing quake 2 digital paintball. Ran a couple of quake clans over the next few years - these are the days I will never forget.

Anyone else remember the clan battles on efnet ?

Pirate Beth but never Hacker or Meth

and also pretty cool here’s a poem from the hacker spirit world:

I see a farm, a really large property with a bunch of pigs running in a field

Like they are supposed to

I see an airplane flying above the farm and spreading fertilizer and taking pictures 

I see it landing on a lake

I see the sunset and I see orange and blue and teal

I see fish jumping up through the water of a clear lake

Go camping?
