Shutting Down

Recently, on the 25th of December, 2006 DEViANCE have decided to shut down all their activites. According to CyberNaj, the Team Leader, there are many reasons for this. Some include, not enough motivated members and internal and external wars. A quote from their website states, "...and allot of people who spend more time in writing articles in forums instead to get something done, forces me to make this decision to protect the name and the honour some of our productions earned in the past."

CyberNaj also states that for Personal reasons, he wasn't able to handle the organization for the last eight months.

The last "real" active members of DEViANCE were: Anesthetic, Vigo, Ghandy, TMB ( SCX DVN Times ), DocD, Interpol, Core, Sir Truck, Hobby1, Wodka, Keito, AM-FM and Gopher.

However, DEViANCE have said that if anyone wishes to take over the group, and rebuild it, then DEViANCE may still be running, but under a different owner.
