I’ve started putting the CC-NRW-VZC-nH newspaper up on my site. It is somewhat slow going as I’m modernizing the html (and using CSS) while keeping the original look and feel, as much as possible. I’d forgotten how much people used tables for positioning <g>

Right now I have the Dec ‘98 - Jan ‘99 issue up and am working on Feb ‘99. The main page for Feb is there, and as I complete articles I’ll add the links. Articles with a strike through are ones that are lost. :cry:

You can see what’s there so far and follow the progress at https://pyewabbit.com/the-pixel-post/ Click on the arrow next to The Pixel Post in the header to get to the index pages. You can also comment on the articles at the bottom of each page. I hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane.

That’s so cool, Pye!
I can’t really look on my phone, but I look forward to checking it out at home.

I wish we could do the same for the DS papers, the Virtual Planet & Rocko’s Raves, and others. Some great stories & much of Dreamscape history contained therein.

My friends & I ran the Weekly Prophet for years, Mage Matters & Muse News. I think they ended up on VZ server - and I don’t have my old computers... and not sure how much work it would be to unearth them. Again, many fond memories there. ✨

I love how folks have come together to recreate our history. Kudos, Pye. And big hugs!

I hope we can get a newspaper going again for inworld happenings. I always loved the Argo and other papers that we had in DS! Maybe once we're out of Beta?
