The reason for this file's existance on the face of this wretched place we call "Earth" is to help the average, (or the not-so-average) person to recognize a loser group, and its members. Then they will hopefully think twice before doing anything to help these truly lost souls. )Now, wasn't that fun!?( :=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:= How to recognize a loser group :==============================: A loser group will ALWAYS be a "TRADE" or "HACK" etc..group. There are few exceptions, and usually the group in question participates in NONE of the above-mentioned acts. You will notice one of these words in the name of the loser group: :Kool: :Allied: :Masters: :Ware: and anything to do with D&D characters, and also with saturday morning cartoons like "He-Man". Loser groups will never quit asking you to join, so they can trade wares with you regardless of what type of computer you own. Which brings us to the actual process of being asked to join a loser group.. How you join a loser group :==========================: The "Head honcho" or "Big Man" at the "Headquarters" of the group will most likely leave you some mail like this: )Example( Letter from:THUH WAREZZZMASTUR Postmarked :xx/xx/xx.
