The thing with the various cracking group titles, it's early demo scene
music and graphics. Occasionally pushing the limits of the machines. I
think those are important as artifacts as well.

I do understand the requests for the silent cracks as well. But do you have
the skills/know someone with the skills to do that?  That's where things
might get a bit difficult, as much of that requires intimate knowledge of
both the copy protection schemes as well as being able to code in machine
language.

In short, a lot of the software that's been archived so far was sourced
from cracked versions that were often modified greatly from the original
releases.  There's now a team of very skilled folks who want to be sure
that the pristine versions of these programs are archived and that
so-called "silent crack" versions are available for future generations to
enjoy.  In this context, a "silent crack" is one that removes the copy
protection and nothing more, and without adding crack screens or
attributions.

They're getting to the end of the collections that they already have and
are putting out the call for more from people who may have collections
sitting around gathering dust in boxes.

Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot.
Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do.
Normal Person: So you go surfing?
Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a
lot...
Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level.
Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?
