I would be extremely interested in this as well. Perhaps get together with the Univ. of helsinki and some other institution to preserve this unique part of finnish computing history?

I think it would be interesting to save whatever there is left from an unique era. It could well be used for example for studies of our cultural history.

Also YLE might be interested :) the messages are as valuable as the Elävä arkisto in preserving our popular culture

Oh and about the names: i wouldn't want my old embarrassing messages to be revealed either so perhaps the names could be censored - even a partial archive of the message history would be really valuable historically

When did it all go to shit? I mean - Mbnet was pretty unique in the BBS scene and there was a real sense of DIY even in the magazine. When nearing the 2000's i noticed that the magazine started changing direction quite drastically. Was this all only due to sanoma magazines bosses being greedy and wanting more profits?

Skrolli had quite a good article about mikrobitti history recently and i happen to know some relatives who have worked in the house, confirming that the corporate culture was quite bad one. The bosses never understood Mikrobitti's uniqueness as a magazine even was the most(?) profitable magazine in the house.
