Dear Fellow Group Members,

Certain events and feelings have passed through APC recently. These
have made us take a second look at what we want to do, and what our goals are.
Taking everything into account, the best and most advantageous option for us
was to start a new mp3 releasing group. That may or may not shock some of you.
The ones who have been paying attention and caring for the group won't see this
so surprising. For those that are shocked, you should have been more involved. Many
reasons account for this. The most important one is to escape our worst enemy,
APC's reputation. Have you ever wondered why many rippers and other ex-APC members
leave our group to continue on in RNS? Sure it was their loss and stupidity for leaving
us, but it still hurts to see the hard work been put to waste. Or how come it is so
hard for APC to keep a new member or recruit people from around the scene? We believe
it has been the reputation. What is wrong, you may ask. Well, for starts the immaturity
in APC has always been there. Not so much being childish, but more like rude, blunt, and
inconsiderate. Many rippers have complained in the past about others pushing them to rip,
and people expecting more from them. But reputation was not the only reason. The second was
the leadership. In the last few weeks/months, the leadership has been way overworked. We feel
as if this is not fair for us, when we work so hard but yet others become anti-productive.
Only a few people know what is going on, and hardly few others try. At one point we kick
ass in our sites and couriers, but we have no releases. So we work hard on our releases, and
we pump many out daily, but then our sites start to slack and go down. Why can't we be
stable in both? It's because of the lack of support and communication. Maybe this seems like
a lot of bitching and whining, but most of us have been in APC 2+ years and we certainly
know what we are doing. We have put many hours of hard work into to the group, but our 
feeling is that more can be achieved and we have always felt that something was missing.
With all this in mind, if the rest of you wish to continue on APC, the more power to you.
We respect each and every one of you have have contributed to the group in any way and especially
to the seniors who have been here a long time. Your ideas and experiences have definetely
made us all a better person.
