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!"

His name is George. Also, he started Spam.
Rayanne Graff:
i spoke to him a couple of times and that was in October of 2009.
the doc:
Wow, a proper old head
Rayanne Graff:
Yeah, he was the 15th person to join.
satansrubberduck:
I didn't directly start Spam. Also the proof of that long since disappeared.
Rayanne Graff:
No, it didn't; the Spam spam spam you made in 2002 is on page 105 of the Spam board.
satansrubberduck:
Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.
satansrubberduck:
Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.
Claire:
It's not odd to me since I've just had the exact same conversation with you...
