    the name lives on in the pirate community. someone called Razor12911 created XTool (https://github.com/Razor12911/xtool), its a compression library a lot of famous repackers use. im not sure if they are a former razor member or the name is just a homage but its cool either way

    From the article: “ Calling Razor 1911 simply an “Amiga demoscene group” is a bit like calling a pirate ship “a wooden transport solution.” Technically true, but you are missing the interesting part. Razor was part demo group, part cracking crew, part underground distribution machine, and part myth factory.”

    I wish I could get some good Razor 1911 merch somewhere. I found some stuff on red bubble but I'd rather support the group directly.

    I also miss THG, always thought "The Humble Guys" was one of the coolest warez names.

    Also, RotSB... Riders of the Short Bus.
