  1. Re:Pass the torch - don't kill the tradition on Phrack E-zine Comes To An End · · Score: 1
    What's different about the current batch of editors was their intense arrogance and unusualy patronizing attitude towards the scene. Phrack hasn't been about the computer underground for years. The last ten years have turned Phrack into a prestigious journal for security research.
    It's obvious you're just bitter because you've ended up in the Loopback-section once or twice.
    The anarchistic underground roots of phrack have been whitewashed away by the latest batch of editors. Go and read the issues from 1980s, early 90s.
    Of course.. Anarchy is just childish to say the least. Phrack has taken the step from anarchism to nihilism.
    Here's an alternative to killing off a 20+ year tradition: run a competition amongst would-be editors who can publish the best next issue of phrack. Then allow the PUBLIC to vote amongst alternatives as to whom succeeds the current editors.
    Yey! Let a majority control the flow of an underground zine. Smart... As Winston Churchill put it:
    "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."
