[edit] Hacker Clans

This is almost certainly a vanity page. 'The Guild Of The Dark' and 'Group 9' aren't well-known, and certainly aren't "underground legends" in the hacker community. Also, no-one calls themselves 'digital shinobi' except people who've been reading too much cyberpunk. Twiin 23:46, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: I'm not big on the title word 'clans'. The article Hacker group redirects to List of hacker and cracker groups. Neither of the two groups described in clans made the list at list (but at least there aren't separate articles on them). If kept then this article needs cleanup. Is there somewhere we can merge this material to? RJFJR 03:38, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete and redirect to list of hacker and cracker groups but dont bother merging as these are non noteable groups (non existant really)... I did a check of old hacker e-zine's and even google cant find a single mention of "group 9" thats not a wiki clone. the only mention of "Guild of the Dark" + hacker thats not a clone of Wiki is at http://www.webspawner.com/users/portson/. These groups dont exist.  ALKIVAR™ 06:45, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
