8/ Not sure what you're referring to here... Although gobbles is the only 'organized' (to use that term loosely) full disclosure group from that era that I remember off the cuff, plenty of people posted their (working) exploit code to even 'respectable' lists as bugtraq, not to mention people copy and pasting exploits to IRC the minute they had it working. Any I'm not even talking about joe schmoe's abandoned sourceforge project either - wuftpd had exploits posted and thousands of people got defaced in the hours/days after such a release, complete with defacing archives to keep score (yes I realize the exploit writers weren't usually the defacers). In short, in the 1990's there were huge amounts of full disclosure, and even those trying to work with vendors were usually snubbed by those vendors. It was a completely different landscape.
