If it was a Webzine, does it still exist online somewhere? I've never heard of it until this "resurrection post". I'd like to see what was written back then.
With the growth of FIRST, there are more than enough content opportunities to have a sustaining publication, especially if you include the explosive increases in FLL and Vex initiatives. The problem from an editor/publisher standpoint is getting those who agree it is a good idea to actually contribute what they agree to do. (Spoken from experience, and many days of pleading with folks to "Please give me something to put in your column! We need to go to press and your spot is empty!" [NOTE: That's when it is nice to have a good collection of photos that can be used as filler.])
