You might notice that as of today (30-9-2014) Offtopica 2 is subtitled "The Unofficial Fan Forum of SFX Magazine". I asked for and obtained the blessing of Richard Edwards, new editor of SFX, who is pleased that the community that started on the SFX forum has, amongst other communities and forums around the internet, a new home here.

So, I thought it would be a good idea to have this section, for discussing the magazine itself. Obviously, nothing posted here can be used in SFX, but it's still the main thing that's brought us all together.

I know there were people who liked to get in and post about the latest issue, so I'll leave it to others to keep that going, if they like. :bigsmile:

Yeah, he made the announcement in his editor's letter in the latest SFX.

Not bought an issue in the last 2 months. I read he actually got promoted. Good for him.

Should there perhaps be a "welcome, friends!" thread for people migrating from the SFX forum? It would be useful I think to have a place where we can all say "Hi, I'm here!" and congratulate each other on having survived the shipwreck. Looking around this forum a hell of a lot of threads haven't been touched in years, and it would be nice to have a definitive start point for this one. People can spread out and explore from there.

Tao, do ya wanna? It's your forum after all. I'll have a go if you're not bothered.

Yep, there's been a thread for that for many years, here. I'll add it to the scrolling bit at the top of the main index page.

So is this the Official unofficial SFX forum.
Or is it unofficial Official unofficial SFX forum.

I am a bit confused. :bigsmile:

I've split the posts that concerned the demise of the SFX forum and merged them with the other thread for that I created, 'cos it was getting confusing. Also, this thread was mainly for information, and will be deleted at some point, so I've locked it. :closed:
