as you've probably noticed, the DHS.NU site have slowly but steady become less and less updated with
news over the last decade or so, to the point that it's only a handful of articles every year.
There are many factors playing in, but the most important have been that we need more editors, but a home cooked and unflexible way to
update the site with new content have been a show stopper.
But now, things change. A bunch of Atari demoscene veterans have joined forces to remedy the sitation.
We've opened a new site for news about
the Atariscene world. We hope it will be successful and live for many years to come.
DHS.NU will become a read only site in steps, starting with the news section. There are 1717 articles in
the archive spanning thirty years. We'll show a few random articles here on the front page and in the archive you can browse year over year.
We'd like to thank everyone who has visited DHS.NU to read demoscene news over the years and hope
you'll find Atariscne.org a good
replacement!
