To answer the question, if you want to write an article do so and forward it to one of the mods. We aren't in the habit of turning down people who are passionate about something that they want to share with the rest.

I hate that I thought they were ignoring GoG and bought the 4 of those Ys packages stuck with DRM on steam. If those ever hit a 75 or a 66% off sale on GoG I'm snapping them up and erasing even more stuff off Steam.
Anything on both I buy on GoG, and if I have it on steam, I still do under a huge discount.
I mostly lurk and read (most people here are way, way more cultured in terms of gaming than I could ever be) so maybe I should keep my nose out of this, but I am something of an armchair internet historian. I've been online since the mid-90s, the AOL/Prodigy days. And by "online" I mean "spending the majority of my day on the internet" for 20 years now. [insert laugh track]
I've been both a big and small part of many different hobby/interest communities in that time, and so many of them have been completely wiped from existence. Technology changes, people move on, or they just run out of stuff to talk about, all within the span of like 5 or 6 years. For Racketboy to still (still!) be as active as it is... it's seriously amazing to me. It's rare. I tip my hat to all of you.
So, when I see a topic like this go up and see the discussion that follows, my reaction is that not only is it natural for people to leave, it's expected. That's how the MOST internet communities are, but this one is certainly unique. Just my two cents.
My Pops taught me how to purchase airplane tickets on Prodigy, I think, in 1990. Cakewalk was also something he said "is going somewhere". This was when our rig was an IBM PS/1.
I also remember using several floppys to install Willy Beamish, and having to look up things like "type the second word on page ten of your manual to install".
