What is a Mega-Zine? I Googled it, and found some sort of page-flip publishing software, which confused me even more 
. I couldn't see a sticky explaining what it is, but sorry if I've looked over it....

There used to be a Wikipedia page for it, but they deleted it.
It was basically a letters page on Teletext that ran for almost 17 years. People could write in poems, jokes, lists, their general thoughts on a particular subject, or in my case, completely nonsensical poppycock with no bearing on anything other than my dreams and imagination.
There was a guy (or several over the years) called WLW who would write short responses to our letters.
Mega-Zine (or 'Zine) ended in March this year, due to the recession and the fact that the Teletext bosses actually read it one day and realised how much money they had been spending so teenagers could say to other teenagers "What do you get if you cross a sheep and a kangaroo? A dent on your bonnet!"

Jimmy:
Holy sh*t everything's Barry.
Steve-Dave:
Everything's better!
Puffalump:
Barrier
Steve-Dave:
The Barryest it's ever been
Jimmy:
I can't wait for more "Important Barry and changes"
Steve-Dave:
Well there will be some Barry and changes coming soon, because we need more donations. It no longer just takes £10 a year to help Barry survive
Steve-Dave:
It takes like... £13
Steve-Dave:
Barry has to walk 5 metres to his car every day... just to go to work and earn money for DVDs and comic books
Steve-Dave:
His eyesight is so bad... that he has to wear glasses. Stylish rimless glasses which cost €250
Steve-Dave:
His living space is so cramped... that h had to put his workout bench in the garage meaning he doesn't really use it any more
Steve-Dave:
But for just €13 a year... You can help Barry afford a DVD that he heard was good but has been out for a while so it's not as expensive as new DVDs
Steve-Dave:
Please... Give generously... And help save this poor man's DVD shelf from not being completely full because it just looks weird when it's nearly full. I mean, when it's half full, that's fine. But when there's only a few gaps left... it just looks kinda sad.... y'know
Steve-Dave:
Thank you

It scares me when people refer to themselves in the third person.
Steve-Dave:
It scares Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. too
Steve-Dave:
Like my Grandfather, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII Esq. always said: "Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq. gets scared when people refer to themselves in the third person, and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq. promises to never do that"
Steve-Dave:
And like my twin brother, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. (or Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. for short) says: "Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. doesn't like when people refer to themselves in the third person. You and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. must have gotten that from our grandfather, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq."
Rayanne Graff:
You nerds crack me up.
Steve-Dave:
Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. all try our best
Rayanne Graff:
... in the pants department.
