9-23-2001 The BattleTec E-Zine is back!
At last! An
official website for Justin Xiang's BattleTec E-Zine.
No longer will you have to go to message board to message board
asking for back issues. Now you can find all six original
issues in the same place! Check it out here.
I
enjoyed the BattleTec E-Zine a lot back in it's day, and I decided
it was the least I could do to support and thank creator Justin
Xiang. I asked his permission to proceed and then began work
sometime ago. It's been sitting around waiting for me to do
something with it longer than I like to think about, but I've just
been so busy it's taken me this long to launch it!
A
note for you that found it awhile ago, the reason you couldn't
download the issues was because I hadn't actually launched the site
yet. It's now fully operational!

9-06-2001 And then the kid asked.....
The first of our new
updates is an article by Augustus which will help
boost our spirits a little. It sure put a smile on my face:)
Article: And
then the kid asked, "What Mech's carry a PPC?"
9-06-2001 The silence is broken....
It's been awhile since
the last update and I have to admit that for a little while there
was the chance that there simply wouldn't BE any more updates....
EVER. The Shock of WizKids announcement was that intense for
me. Being the cool headed, reasonable guy that I am though, I
decided to wait awhile before making any long term decisions.
And that is why everything was silent here for more than a month.
I've given it a lot of
thought, and besides all the changes in BattleTech itself, my own
life is about to go through some changes. I'll be going back
to school soon, for the first time since graduating High School a
few years ago. I'll finally be correcting a few mistakes I've
made over the last couple of years.
All of that would
appear to indicate that it would be a good time to close up the
site, at least temporarily. Still, I find that is something I
just don't want to do. So I'll be keeping the site up
including new updates.... when I have the time.
I think ISN has really
gotten a reputation of being one of the most updated BattleTech
sites on the web. Other sites may be bigger or get more hits,
they may post news stories every day, but few added as much actual
CONTENT to their sites as often as what has been done here at ISN.
That has to change for now, even if my excitement for BattleTech was
at an all time high, I simply wouldn't have the time for it.
So ISN will continue,
just not updated as often. It WILL be updated though, and that
is an improvement on how things looked a month ago.
