I also found a partial archive of the second set of newsletters at http://www.angelfire.com/ca4/home/archives.html. I know some of the staff of Mark's newsletters and some of the crew from that irc channel worked on both of these.

There was also Amit Bhaumik, who actually went on to write for PR.

I miss those days. The fandom seemed so much more close-knit, especially with the newsletters...and I found the old e-mail rpg site, too: http://www.angelfire.com/sk/futureshock/

A lot of these old sites still seem to be active.
Yeah I got the name wrong , Mark Oxman. Looks like the second guy is different. Mike Wayne ran the original PRO and had his own newsletter. He was a different then the one that took over for Mark based on what you showed me. Didn't know someone took over for Mark until now. .

Didn't realize Tenth Power was an irc channel. Always thought it was a free message board on some early service. I know who Amit is.

That was some other message board, run by Sean Ekay.
Ah I remember Sym being a former mod there. Based on what was said when she came here or at pro. Guess i missunderstood or remember wrong. So then Tenth Power and Astroranger's Board was the same board?
