Well, I'm back on AM, school's been keeping me busy, and so has robotics/friends/family, but, it's good to be back again nonetheless! We really need to find new mods though...so I can start up the Acidmag again...just need to get the html coding down again, I was fluent for about a month, after that, it all was forgotten b/c of other commitments, so, anyone who's interested in joining the AM Magazine, let me know and we can see what can be done!

(I know I've been saying for a while that I'd post pictures of my i7 and Quad Core Xtremes for a while and haven't done so, therefore, I shall have pictures up this weekend!)

Welcome back =D

Things seem to be slow everywhere, lately... All forums seem to have had a decline in mods being showing up. Must be the economic times... Less money = less mods.

i'd be interested in joining up for the AcidMag. Mods are definitely declining but are not over, people are still up to it

Id Love to work on the Acidmag yeah mods are slowing down here lately but we have to push through the times.

I also got Local Mod of the PS3 section now

but we really need some good console mods going again.
I guess during economic hard times people are to afraid of the cost if they do mo and fail.

Yea I noticed a lot of people have been gone.
TheArkMan2009 is never one. He used to do stuff every week like home row button led mod, internal cooling mod and stuff then he just left.

Dude he was here for like a year

W-Gaming, I saw like, ONE mod from you....

But I agree - a problem is that many veteran modders are leaving. Our forums are now filled with new members (including myself), who aren't as experienced as our veteran members, although some have proven to be quite impressive.

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #8 on:** May 18, 2009, 11:09:37 PM »

while you are correct justin, i have to say that being new or not showing your mods on the net doesn't mean that one is inexperienced. I too have done some pretty nice mods on my psp but i have no means of showing it to you people... So there can be many factors due to which people don't show off their mods. Btw for the AcidMag , i think that we should not restrict ourself to just console mods. But to related news as such.... IDK if you guys have read the warez-bb magazine "The Scene"..... We should be inspired by them.

welcome back Wise. im new here but i cant wait to see what you guys have in store for the zine. modding i think is a lifestyle(people not happy with the plain drab looking counsels). so i think after a while people will show back up to show their new stuff. i know im working on my next psp w/ lime green windows in the umd and under the wifi. so welcome back and cant wait for the Zine.

LOL bite me, I never said I was good. I was just pointing out that "i'm not decreasing my flow of mods which equals to 1 mod" isn't really much of an accomplishment. I also said that I don't see mods from people... I just said I saw less - it was merely an observation. You neotragus =D

So P3nnyw1se... wanna fill me in on what was in the acidmag?

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #18 on:** May 19, 2009, 08:53:34 PM »

Welcome back Penny, good to have you back, if I can be of any assistance please let me know.

On another note, there have been a lot of people coming and going lately. It has been a tough year everywhere. We still have a lot of great minds around this site with loads of potential, as long as everyone can get along. This site is not about proving yourself, it was to be more about learning electronics, while having fun in a neutral environment, one mod or one hundred mods, it doesn’t matter. Bickering back and forth about who did what or not will not get anyone anywhere and tends to push people away.

Play nice
Happy modding

well said Matt. This place has taught me more about electronics than i could have ever hoped to learn ...

Hey P3nnyw1se,
I think I had been here for a little bit whilst you were still around. Anyway I was not around for the Acidmag times, and I am a little confused as to what the difference was between acidmag, and the news page? Is it something we could combine efforts with?

The reason I say that is most of the people offering to help with acidmag are on the news team, and the News page doesnt get new content as regularly as it should

so when i see people offer to help it makes me think that probably all efforts should be focused on the news page (which doesnt need to be news, can have anything of interest)

So I guess probably i am missing a major component of the acidmag, but I would rather see one section with strong support rather than 2 sections with mediocre support. Idk, maybe rename the news page to Acidmag?

Thoughts?

~:Dhruv:~ · « **Reply #29 on:** May 20, 2009, 06:55:24 AM »

actually if you look around , there really isn't much news worth posting. I'm interested in the mag mostly because if i'm not wrong that it will have full length articles instead of just small headlines followed by a few lines of text. The mag should in my opinion be a monthly downloadable pdf document involving the art team as well as people willing to write full length articles on the latest happenings in the world of technology as well as feature a mod of the month section among other stuff. Now that would make a kick ass magazine....
