   ▓▓█▌  quality releases over years, ACME is now almost two years old  ▐█▓▓
   ▓▓█▌  and delivered more than 2800 quality releases, more than 2000  ▐█▓▓

   ▓▓█   ACME did always improve the groups security whenever it was     █▓▓
   ▓▓█   possible or we considered it as necessary. Along with this      █▓▓
   ▓▓█   process we even had to get rid of members not following the     █▓▓
   ▓▓█   groups philosophy. What remained was a strong group of willing  █▓▓
   ▓▓█   fellows, of men, who stand strong in hard times: a group of     █▓▓
  ▐▓▓▌   friends. As some of you know, we had some problems with some    ▐▓▓▌
  ▓▓▓    sceners, but since we are a peace-loving group, we try to        ▓▓▓
