1 - about SKiM and the Demoscene

1.1) What is SKiM?

SKiM is a demogroup. This means that some people [coders, musicians, graphicians etc] are grouped together.
They make, as self, music, code or gfx; but they do also create altogether some other kind of productions, that are named 'demo' or 'intro' mainly.



1.2) What is the Demoscene? What is an intro/demo?

Quote:
" Short answer: A subculture in the computer underground culture universe,
dealing with the creative and constructive side of technology, proving that a
computer can be used for much more than writing a letter in MS-Word and hence emphasize on computer technology as just another medium that can transport ideas and styles, show off skills and express opinions etc. "
- Thomas Gruetzmacher (aka Tomaes)

from: PC Demoscene Faq

Please do check www.demoscene.info.




1.3) Why do you do this?

For fun. Masochism, love and passion. Ego boosting and satisfaction. Love for art, in all of its forms.



2 - about the website

2.1) Who is the webmaster? I have to report something

At the right moment, Delilah only is managing the website. If you have to report a bug, missing link, notify us of something and stuff, you can contact her.

[Design and gfx are entirely made by her.]

SKiM's website is kindly hosted by untergrund.net and planet-d.net.



2.2) Do you have a banner?

Yes! There you go:

     





2.3) How can I contact a member?

You can contact a member by checking their own email address /contact /website at the members page.



2.4) Can I join SKiM? How?

SKiM is pretty always looking for supportive and skilled people to work with. At the right moment, we're not looking for new members in a particular way, but more for cooperations. A well done coop *could* end up in a membership; it's all about feeling and style.

We anyway badly need a 3D gfx and a coder for an upcoming project. Feel free to contact Delilah for more info.



2.5) I got a question that's not answered here; what should I do?

You can email the webmaster anytime asking what you want to know. The question [if worth] will probably be added to the faq's for future use. Thank you for your help :)

Note: For any other problem [i.e., email to a member bounces back, etc] or a general info request, you can try by contacting the webmaster anytime and explaining whats wrong.
