_____Introduction
The scene is a funny place sometimes. Groups come and go. Trackers are
born and die. New methods of communication help to bring us all closer
together. We are all part of a global community, thousands upon thousands
of us working toward one universal goal: make the demo scene a better
place.
In early April of this year, we at Hornet decided to split DemoNews up into
three sections: one for new uploads, one for demo-related articles, and one
for general banter and editorials. It was thought that this change would
appeal to the masses who wanted to read only selective parts of our
original newsletter. It didn't quite work out as we had expected.
Though new subscriptions still trickled in, it felt as though the character
and personality of our newsletters died. From the end-user standpoint,
they were less enjoyable to read. From the editor's standpoint, they were
less enjoyable to produce. We tried for 3 months to make it happen, but it
was a futile effort.
And so, with much excitement and enthusiasm, we bring back DemoNews in its
full glory! o1fil is dead. o1art is dead. HNews is dead. DemoNews is
reborn out of their ashes. Now we will try to recapture what was lost,
built up a stable and consistently professional newsletter, and regain the
interest of the ever-growing scene.
_____The Nuts and Bolts
The listserver is our friend. For some time, it has served as the nexus
from which all of our newsletters are distributed. This will not change.
However, two of our lists _will_ be removed.
demuan-article, once home to "01 Article Section", will be discontinued.
hornet-news, once home to "Hornet News", will also be stopped. We will
resume mailing of DemoNews on our original demuan-list.
What do you need to do? Absolutely nothing! :) DemoNews will contain
_both_ new uploads and articles, just like it did in the good ole' days.
There is no need for you to subscribe or unsubscribe to anything. All of
that should be taken care of on our end. You will start receiving DemoNews
on the same list that used to host "01 File Section" (our original DemoNews
mailing list).
_____Welcome Back
You, the readers, are what keep us going. Without your support, we surely
would have stopped producing newsletters long ago. Don't let us down.
Its really very simple when you think about it: we write, you read.
Hopefully both of us learn a little bit along the way. From experience, we
have found out that producing newsletters is easy conceptually, but
difficult in practice. Even after 3.5 years, we still can't seem to get it
quite right. :)
Our first 97th issue of DemoNews (the next one released) will contain the
Music Contest 3 results, an interview with Zodiak/Cascada, a review of
Necros's new musicdisk, and lots of other goodies. Look for it on a
demuan-list near you this coming Sunday.
We now begin the next leg of our demo scene journey. Hold on!
