If any of you are interesting in collecting/seeing "Underground Zines" now
|
|
is a great time. I recently sent a $2.90 SASE (10x13) envelope to:
|
|
FactSheet Five, 1800 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94102
|
|
and recieved TWO pounds worth of cool zines. As a former zine publisher
|
|
and reader I suggest EVERYONE do this. You will get about $30 dollars
|
|
worth of material, which is practically impossible to get, for only a
|
|
SASE. It will probably be the BEST three bucks you spend in your life!
|
|
It will open up a whole new world of literature. "Of the people, by the
|
|
people, for the people." Unsensored, uncut, and in your face. For more
|
|
information simply visit the alt.zines newsgroup on the newsreader.

STATS BACK
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
--Hamell created a program to take the WASP ftp.syslog and make a TOP
|
|
25 DEMOS downloaded file called TOP_25_DL. This will be updated WEEKLY
|
|
when the ftp.syslog is completed early Saturday. This way you can see
|
|
what demo is being downloaded the most.

CHANGES
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
--As you may have noticed the "source.code" directory has been renamed to
|
|
"source" because of a suggestion a user made.
|
|
|
|
--Some proposed changes include 2 possibilities:
|
|
1) Moving the TEXT files to a subdirectory.
|
|
2) Create subdirectories for each demo group.
|
|
|
|
If you have any comments or suggestions on the above changes let me know.

CLOSING COMMENTS

|
--On a quest to be the best through excellence--demo site motto.
|
|
|
|
--Zax (of The Phoney Coders) plans on putting together a list of
|
|
coders and demo groups you can reach via "netmail."
|
|
|
|
--If anyone wants to help review, contribute, or have any good ideas
|
|
for this demo site let me know.
|
|
|
|
--In my never ending confusion I am trying to get into a groove of
|
|
updating this INFORMATION every friday/saturday. This means most
|
|
of the text files shall be updated, files moved, and a DEMO news
|
|
written.
|
|
|
|
--It is always funny how the best laid plans fade to naught when
|
|
complications arise. The previous statement seems to be a good example.
