ZZTV8.

From the man himself:
For those of you not sure what ZZTV is, it was a community magazine project started by DarkFLR, way back before dirt. It's been run by Zenith Nadir in recent years, but after ZZTV7 was released he gave it to BoonoB to manage.
What an 'entry' comprises is about ten boards or so of ... well, whatever you want, assembled into a channel. The channel name, which can be anything, is preceded by a hash; for example, mine is #custardpie. There's nothing restrictive about it, so long as all the boards are linked together, and you use STK. Using editors like ZZTAE and KevEdit is fine. I will also maintain BoonoB's initial restriction of a five-board minimum, though doubtless those of you who decide to contribute will probably want to make more than that.
If you are interested, it might pay to download some older releases of the project, particularly the reasonably successful ZZTV6 and ZZTV7. This is an excellent way to show off your skills in a community project that you know a lot of people are going to download, and the free reign means you can do some really wacky and interesting stuff ... Viovis' #tus channels being a noteworthy example.
Here's the final cut-off. If I haven't received your channel entry (send it to me by e-mail) by November the 15th, 2003, you may not get your channel in before I release the magazine. Thanks to those who've already contributed so far, and I apologise for making you wait just a bit longer.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. Break on through!
He'll be sending me all the material received thus far shortly. Given that there are only six or seven entries in total (his and mine included), and that the project has been lying stagnant for some time, I'm willing to wait just a bit longer if anyone wants to make another entry.BoonoB, via e-mail, wrote: I'm never gonna finish it. I've just lost interest in ZZT completely. Haven't been to Z2 in months, haven't played anything in months. I understand you're prolly really busy, but if you have any spare time and are interested, would you want to finish ZZTV? Otherwise it'll just... die, and people will be angry.
If you do, just say, I'll send everything to you. Just do what you want with anything, and as I've done very little, just make it done by you completely. Maybe add a note to say "BoonoB is a liar, and ought to be shot."
