TITLE:THE WONDERFUL SO-WHAT? ARTICLES PALETTE:0223 099b 09a9 0c99 3 SO MANY SO WHAT? ARTICLES! Scene diskmags are sometimes quite a funny and entertaining reading, they often contain such interesting and informative articles that at their end you wonder: 2"So what?"1. Probably many diskmags editors keep on publishing this kind of scene articles because they are quite ridiculous and funny, being incredibly unoriginal and pointless (Oh, don't think such pervert things, they don't publish them to fill space!) We have called them the "So what?" articles, they are so obvious, senseless and useless that we couldn't prevent our evil fingers from underlining their presence. Here comes a commented list of some so-what? articles appeared on some more or less good and recent mags. 3UPSTREAM issue 6 by Balance 2Fake Functions by Wolfman/Balance (Main-Ed) A really impressive article where the author complains about the use of "fake functions" in groups, like Ansi-gfxer, Packs maker and things like that. He thinks that scene guys shouldn't use these fake funtions in memberlists. We presume that a deep and complete conference has to be held about this important topic for the scene. 3TOP SECRET issue 14 by Majic 12 2How many members should a group have? by Hex/STACK-Prod. In 878 bytes the author analyse and solve one of the biggest problems of contemporary life: How many members a group should have? How many graphicians and coders and others? His answers are firm and encouraging. We can all breath relieved now. 2Is it a shame to be reborn? by TFG/Majic 12 (Main-Ed) Less than 1300 bytes to understand why the concept of "Reborn group" seems not much liked by scene groups. The author explains that groups tend to use the words "Reorganized" or "Regrouped" instead of a more appropriate "Reborn". The brilliant answer is that maybe is all due to the Kefrens rebirth. Impressive. 2Introes - Too many by DarkHawk/MLM A deep meditation about how many intros are useless and boring. The author suggests that intros should be made just for cracks or for intro compos. 2000 bytes long! 3VISUAL INTENSITY issue 1 by Dual Format 2Parties by Nab of Fine The writer, after having told that he has never been in any party, suggests to hire a really big place like the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham to organize an english party better and bigger than some other scandinavian parties. He understands anyway, that the costs could be quite high, what he hasn't understood is that if you have a big party place you don't necessarily have a party with many people. 3About Dual Format - Join Cadaver - BOB information and releases. Grapevine has came first, then the bad fashion continued. The mania of About- articles is taking place also in Visual Intensity. Bad luck. 3Trainers, do we need them? by The Cookie Monster by Dual Format (co-ed) An article which would be useful for a Scene's Big Questions dossier about the mindblasting debate regarding Trainers. The author declares officially that he supports the Party of the Trainers users and adds a plethora of reasons and explanations. Thank you, now we know that we need trainers. We found a little pearl in this very interesting article, The Cookie Monster writes: "Training in an art form...". Original.
