Group History

Appendix is one of the oldest polish demo groups, is one of the better Polish-based demo groups, under the leadership of Madbart (main) and Slayer. They were born in 1992, and still exist today! Polish music group Pic Saint Loup is a subgroup of Appendix; serving as their music division. I'd really love to tie up all the loose ends above, so if anyone can help...

1995
German musician Cie joined Phuture 303 late in the year.
1996
Mental and Shadow (polish gfx) were both kicked in june. Swapper and 'Fa!' pack editor Klaf (doublememb Scalaris, ex Depth, new 06/96) joined Old Bulls in june...or just as a doublemember (Showtime #2). Which is true? And what happened to his doublemembership in Scalaris? It is mentioned in a newsfile by Madbart, however, that he left both Appendix and the scene. Blaze joined Floppy late 96...but later returned.
1997
Informer, Flapjack, Cooper, FML, Carson and Rappid joined from Erotic Design early in the year. Aln joined from Picco, and swede Scout from C-Lous in july.
1998
Sundance (gfx/ascii, 07/97) was kicked due to several reasons, and Jacobs (07/97) and Ziutek (doublememb Royal, new 07/97) both left the modem scene in january. Flapjack decreased his amiga activities almost to a standstill in the middle of the year, to concentrate on his studies. In november, the group arranged the Satellite 98 party in Poland!
1999
The group arranged the party Satellite 2 in november, and not long after polish Kierownik joined the group.
2000
Enter and Bta (coders) were kicked... but it's possible this happened in 2001, I'm not sure. On a memberlist from september 2001, BTA is a member again!
2001
Early in the year, Noxis (code) joined, Maq (code) was kicked, and Lothar left the group. Emers (code) and Crust (code, double Amnesty) was recruited. Sagrael, editor of 'Taboo', joined. The "Kiss My Jazz Intro" [04/01] was released for the demo competition (18th) and the 64k intro "Melba" [04/01] was released for the intro competition (3rd) at Mekka Symposium in april. UBik and Budgie left. Polish musician Voice (07/97-) was kicked, and is now working under the Indygo band label. Ritz joined PSL/Appendix. Juen (swap) joined. Crust (code) joined, but is also in Amnesty. The musicdisk "Kiss My Jazz" was finally released by PSL/Appendix. At the Symphony Demoscene Festival in september, the "Psychol Intro" [09/01] (emers/flapjack) was released, announcing not only Flapjack's return to the amiga scene after 2 years, but also his revivial of the long-running "Psychol" chip packs! As announced in the intro, Crust was working on new os-friendly code, and Caro/Nah-Kolor on new graphics for the upcoming pack!
