News of 1998
* December 10, 1998
We have surpassed 900 personal reviews! I have added statistics to the top of all the letter directories and all the artist pages so you can see your average rating on the modarchive. The 8th edition of The Top 10 Additions is up. Look forward to a bunch of add ons to the reviewer tables at The New Crew page. New columns such as review quality, average reviewing score, and personal reviewer webpages for the top 10 reviewers will be added shortly.

We have surpassed 400 personal reviews! I have also added a reviewer of the week, and we are still in need of more reviewers. The 7th edition of The Top 10 Additions is up. The modarchive now has an irc channel at DALnet called modarchive. I will be on there most of the day.

Lots of news! We have added 10+ artists, Beatbom has provided us with the 6th edition of the top10 additions. For all you reviewers, the reviewing form is up!

We still have a need for reviewers, so email me to apply. Finally a new contest is up for modarchive, we need a theme song! We are looking for creativity and a fun, great song. Upload it to the new directory as usual with the filename beginning with compo to enter. Please click the modarchive banner to help us to continue to improve the archive!
