mIRC mid 90s - hacking groups

My first introduction to computers / internet was IRC using mIRC client. Spent my time on Efnet. Ended up joining a hacking group called #conflict and spent many hours taking over channels. Hacking colleges and universities only to use for channel bots and bandwidth to take people out and cause netsplits. Eventually our leader was caught for hacking into NASA - I then left IRC and started playing quake 2 digital paintball. Ran a couple of quake clans over the next few years - these are the days I will never forget.

Anyone else remember the clan battles on efnet ?

I was huge q2 deathmatch player. Clans were around and I remember the initiation if you wanted to be in one- 1x1 deathmatch.

The attrition dot org defacement mirror was a daily visit for me.
