I aggree darrin.
what say people if we just move the mag to smomething that has the
power audiogames.net has a lot of stuff.
Adding to it seems to be what is suggested, it has some organisations
on it and a lot more people.
It has the power to change the universe well enough for the plannet
sertainly more than half of it.
I like the list but spend a lot of time on the forums.

a podcast would be better because then you could for example demo
certain games on the podcast and let the demo's speak for themselves.
as dark pointed out and as i have said several times over the years
audyssey faled to bring in more readers because of it's lack of
exposure to the wider world.
as for people who are off list, well forums are the way to go i
really think this. mailing lists are so clunky in comparison to
forums. most people these days don't want to be bombarded with
emails. so you can pretty much guarantee that whilst the mag did
offer quite a bit of content the list content that ended up on the
mag would be of little interest.
to be honest with you audiogames.net is doing a far better job than
audyssey ever did. because audio games are a little more recognised
than lets say games for the blind as a tag name, it's worked in our
favour. we have some blind and some sighted people on there for
example. it's slowly and surely increasing awareness i think, which
the mag in it's old/currant format faled to do. because for the most
part it was only list subscribers and a few mag only subs that
actually got it. whereas audiogames.net appears on google and other
places as well. it's reasonably well represented.
if the mag did come back then some serious work would need to be
done in order to give it exposure. it isn't acceptible to simply
chuck it out there and hope someone happens to read it.

quarterly magazine as a way to keep abreast of what is going on in
the gaming community. Also, there were features in the mag that
couldn't be found elsewhere. I think there is interest in the
magazine, but we haven't gotten any issues due to the lack of an
editor. To avoid such problems in the future, I think there should
be an editor and an assistant editor who can jump in and take over
if the editor, for one reason or another, cannot get the next issue
published. Also, I think that they should be willing to actually
edit, rather than just pasting someone's work into a publication,
as sloppiness of writing such as spelling and grammar are a
reflection on the publication.

wouldn't mind this if an HTML format also still exists. Magazines
should be read, not heard. Thanks.
