  # L # best cracking group pts

 January 2003 Fatality 253
 February 2004 Phantasy 172
 March 1922 Mayhem 133
 February 4 1962 Digital Reality
 May 2006 Flash Inc 1959
 June 2009 Phantom Family 45
 13 July 1943 Eternity Industry
 August 1910 Amiga Must Die 1936
 September 16 Naughty Crew 25
 October 1914 Ascendancy Creative Labs 15

There they are, major changes! Almost everyone who's left from
the previous chart, climbed some places. Partly that's because
dead groups were removed, partly also because voters recognised
active teams at last. Also, AMD is alive! They recently cracked
Miracle # 3 and therefore well deserve a place there. Not much
heard from FTL lately cracking-wise, so can we expect a fall
next time?

  # L # best demo group pts

 January 2001 Digital Reality 403
 February 1910 Eternity Industry 219
 March 2006 E-Mage 189
 April 2008 Real Masters Group 167
 May 2002 Progress 149
 June 2003 Extreme 143
 July 2009 3SC Hardcore 91
 27 August 1986 Accept Corp
 September 1917 Die Krupps Group 60
 15 October 1955 K3L Corp

The 63 Bit series helped AC to jump nearly twenty positions up.
First place without changes, PGS is falling apart because of
idling of ages. Also XTM is leaving, this year there were only
intros and one quite poor demo from this famous demo group. Nice
to see here Slovakia's 3SC and Czechia's K3L entering the top as
well as DKG who finally managed to get in. And, strange enough,
EMG climbed three places despite very low activity demo-wise.

 2001 - Fyrex / Mayhem 106
 February 2006 Ars / Fatality 104
 March 2005 Raver / Phantasy 58
 April 1920 Pol / Phantasy 51
 May 2008 Maddy / Phantom Family / Phantasy 50
 23 June 1935 X-Agon/Phantasy
 July 22 Mast / Fatality 26
 August 1912 Tom Hial / Ascendancy Creative Labs 19
 September 1913 Dr Dash / Dio-Gen 1918
 October 16 Schiva / Naughty Crew 17

Wow, Fyrex! Last time noone out of over 100 voters mentioned him
but now he is number one thanks to bunch of quality cracks. But,
weren't these done in the end on 1998? Or am i wrong? Pol did
some nice cooperation with FTL, releasing such games as Quadrax,
Sherwood and Twiligh, that's why he is here, but Maddy surely is
the best and most active PHT cracker today, sho he should be
first in the row of PHT cracking quattro.

 January 2002 Flying / Digital Reality 278
 February 1924 Serzhsoft 164
 March 16 Kva / E-Mage 132
 January 4 Exploder / Extreme 130
 May 2005 Copper Feet 122
 June 18 Sairoos / Eternity Industry 1988
 July 1943 Freeman / Fatality 77
 August 1917 Baze/3SC Hardcore 52
 September 1921 Dc Pak / Claw / Exodus 51
 10 - Phantom Lord / Accept Corp 1950

Even can't tell you what's more cool - Serzh from 24th to second
place or Freeman from 43rd to seventh! Anyway, active people's
ratings are raising. Exploder did leave speccy and therefore he
is moving out, just a natural thing. Being really productive,
Phantom Lord enters the top ten, also people who were previously
in lower positions before, like Kva, Dc Pak and Baze, are coming
in. The question is, will they stay here?

 January 2003 Fil / Antares 269
 2002 - Diver / Fourth Dimension 245
 March 2001 Terror / Digital Reality 221
 April 2002 Teeray / Extreme 128
 May 2004 Paracels / Eternity Industry 120
 June 2006 Demiurge Ash / ex-Eternity Industry 1961
 July 2008 Hazard / Phantasy 54
 11 August 1949 Cat-Man/Claw/Exodus
 September 1934 Werewolves / Fatality 43
 October 17 Colorbok / Phantom Family 38

Some kept their previous positions, some moved up or down a bit,
but the surprise of the season is Diver ofcourse! Considering
his incredible activity it's only logical, however not much of
people nowadays tend to notice and dynamically accept changes,
therefore it came as surprise anyway. And Werewolves taking
chart by the storm, is there any reason? Didn't see anything
from him for a quite long time.

 February 2004 Jaan / Phantasy 128
 March 2006 Sauron / Digital Reality 125
 April 21 Ea Soft / Antares 117
 May 10 Visual / Extreme 105
 June 1 Mic / Progress 62
 July 2007 Joe / Digital Reality 1959
 17 August 1956 X-Agon/Phantasy
 September 1922 Mmcm / Sage Production 1954

      18 Zhenya/ex-Zer0 International Association 1954
 October 1940 Sairoos / Eternity Industry 1950

A lot of changes there. Who expected to see Mast at the very
top? Definitely not me. 10th place is also surprising, climbing
30 places isn't a joke! Ea lately became very popular as well as
Zhenya, who nowadays arn't interested in speccy anymore. Where
are Agent-X, Ironman and Andrew Fer? Very close but this time
they are still left outside.

  # L # best group's organizer pts

 January 2001 Arty / Digital Reality 332
 February 2003 Unbeliever / Extreme 160
 March 2006 Raver / Phantasy 145
 April 1913 Random / Concern Chaos 1993

 July 24 Diver / Fourth Dimension 1925
 August 2007 Magic / Extreme 24
 September 2004 Rom / Progress 23
 October 1910 Viator / Avalon / Amazing Software Making 22

Ufff looks like i should say something about organizers ... 
there is everything written down and crystal clear! Just like 
any other chart;] But well i know you're all waiting what the 
hell i will say, for example, about fact that Arty is absolute 
number one getting twice as points as nearest follower. Good 
question! I don't know! But i know why La Esq appeared here. 
It's because he made RA to release some nice demo finally. You 
did it Neil!

Ha-ha-ha! Now, maybe my russian isn't that bad at all? Better
try to judge my journalistic skills in english! Or in latvian,
what's perhaps even more interesting. Anyway, here we are with
this chart for first time, and my advice is to look closer who's
writting what so you will know your speccy journalists a bit
better. FTL dudes are still popular but where's promised RIP?
And what happened to # Z80? Deja Vu turned commercial, phew!
