  diocese rips!!!!!!! <-- this guy does not deserve capitals.
  --  ---------------
How unfortunate theres another ripper in the scene. This tiem its
diocese of acid going so low to download an image from
the ftp.sunet.se archives editing parts of it and releasing it in
the group ASH. You can find this pik from the ASH0396 pack available
everywhere.

I dunno how people can prevent this but being a vga artist myself,
i don't think that anyone should get any satisfaction from stealing
a pic from a internet site and release it just because the internet is
so big that its hard to check..
       you can get it from  this ftp site below.
 ftp.sunet.se:/pub/pictures/anime-manga/Appleseed/Images/Appleseed_4.gif

Just take a look at the two pics. Wht diocese did was strech the origanal
pic horazontally and got rid of some of the detail. Then he put some
filters on it making it look a little rippled. I feel sorryt for the
original artist by haveing his beautiful work mutilated and destroyed by
an ass.

He erased the background and added some cheesy fonts and screwed up the
back of her hair. The only thing that fits right in here is that word
`ripped.' How sad.
        i have put the details of both pics beside each other in
        diorips.jpg so you can see that it's clear. acid members CAN
        rip.
Apparantely i heard that he runs a emag called rift, and he used to be
called hells fury.
isn't it ironic, or perhaps it was destiny, that this emag sounds like
"RIPPED."  He ripped the code of that mag from somone else too.
here is a column by Shivan Bastard of BTH #4:

---------------------------
 RIFT (Red Indians Fondling Themselves) Issue 3
 Designed and programmed by Hells Fury of Dark
                     
   If you pay no attention to the ripped FLI, ripped s3m, 3 ripped ansis, all
 of the ripped code,and the horrible content, its actually a pretty good emag.
 hAh. after this release the guy was getting ragged on so hard, he had to
 change his alias to diocese and quit all his current affils to find new ones.
 The 'mini game' i would like to point out, is copyrighted by Bas van gaalen,
 and is included with the GFXFX2 pascal graphics library.  He gave no credit
 to the people who created the FLI, or the S3M.  The menu routines were fucked
 up, allowing you to select the dividers between the options?  There was jpeg
 (Editor's note: No there wasn't. The JPG's were actually renamed GIF's)
 viewing capabilities, allowing top5 vga's without that big of a filesize, and
 i must admit, he's cool for conning some big company out of the routines.  He
 admits the code isn't his,but once again, no credit is given. The whole thing
 reminded me of this gay board in my area code that gets all his ansis by
 ripping from old acid packs.  He even ripped the documentation file nearly
 word for word from bladeview/2.  I'll give anyone a hundred dollars if they
 can find a more blatent rip of code and art than this peice of shit emag.
----------------- -----

hehehe.. what an exact representation of what this asslick actually is.
I CONGRATULATE SHIVAN BASTARD for being so accurate. :)

i hope the scene can learn to get rid of these lamers that try to be
big by stealing others work.
    i hope that the original artist will find a way to seek his revenge.
    or maybe diocese isn't even worth the time.

         recently, There was an ACiD pack released with another
         CLEARLY ripped picture. All he did was the stuipd background.
         I am currently looking for the original. Please distribute the
         original wildly if you find it. It might be in the netcom
         directories or in ftp.sunet.se:/pub/pictures/anime-manga/.
         i know for A FACT THAT HE DID NOT DRAW THE FACE released in the
         03 ACID PACK!!!!! his work is too inconsistant.


           WHAT A FUCKIN ASS. HE CAN RUB MY BALLS, THE SON OF A BITCH.
