-
- »CL1:Over recent years much has been
- revolutionized within our
- multiplatform demo scene. The
- internet being without a doubt the
- clearest most drastic change of them
- all. Being an editor myself for
- nearly a decade now, I`ve witnessed at
- close hand the consequences these
- changes have had to our once heavily
- populated diskmagazines. Gone are the
- times where diskmag charts easily
- accommodated an active top ten.
- Nowadays it seems between both the
- Amiga and PC we have considerably less
- than that. Significantly, we have
- even less new magazines being
- produced.
-
- »CL7:Are you up-to-date?
-
- »CL1:As we all know, the internet provides
- us with instant news mostly from the
- source. Various websites have large
- news areas which are updated by the
- minute. So why do we need to download
- a diskmag? What purpose does it hold
- for you? One of the original reasons
- for reading a diskmagazine was to keep
- one update with the latest scene
- happenings and events. Therefore, do
- we agree that you don`t download a
- diskmag to check the latest news?
-
- »CL7:Dig the Dirt!
-
- »CL1:Just wondering, have you watched the
- news today on TV? Caught those latest
- happenings live on TV? Then I guess
- you won`t want to buy that newspaper
- today. What would be the point?
- You`ve already seen the news of the
- world with video footage. So, why is
- it newspapers have remained in demand
- over the years? It`s exactly the same
- reason our diskmags continue to keep
- coming. TV like the internet doesn`t
- provide the scandal, the details or
- the personal touch. Reading 3 lines
- about xxxx joining xxxx and leaving
- xxxx on a news post is good to keep
- you uptodate, but what about their
- reasons? Their personal thoughts on
- the group change. Did they part over
- a group feud? You can surely read all
- these details within a diskmag. Get
- the FULL story with all the dirt and
- behind the scenes information.
-
- »CL7:Share your thoughts
-
- »CL1:Moreover you can freelance and support
- any diskmag you wish with your close
- thoughts and opinions. In turn, it
- will reach the target audience and
- you`ll be a lot more likely to provoke
- a response. Newsposts aren`t
- interested in your opinions, just your
- news. All this together with the fact
- diskmagazines are a scene tradition,
- is why we have many reasons for
- continuing to support them and keep a
- keen interest in them.
-
- »CL7:Grab a coffee
-
- »CL1:Hopefully this article has provided
- you all with sufficient reasons why we
- should read the latest diskmag issues.
- I`m not in any way opposed to
- newsposts on websites as I believe
- they`re excellent for reading when one
- is hurrying their breakfasts down
- before they leave for work.
- Diskmagazines are best read, when you
- come home ready to relax in front of
- your computer screen, with the lights
- dimmed and warm cup of coffee.
