Recomended for deletion? by this guy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sandstein its a well known thing that isonews has had problems with government agencies again and again, seems they cant let go :) as it stands this article is old, its got information, its accurate and it contains info which people might want to see, I suspect this was nominated for deletion because the guy works for the government, or he got banned from isonews or something. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.178.236.165 (talk • contribs).

Fair use rationale for Image:Topbar logo.gif
Image:Topbar logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

SceneAccess wiki
How accurate is "started by members of ORIGIN/DEViANCE"? The quote comes from https://defacto2.net/file/detail/af484a

Release databases history

In the early nineties security was hardly a part of a sceners routines unlike nowadays. With sitenames, group IRC channels and lists of members being openly distributed in nfo's those days were clearly different. Some people ran private websites to communicate and store this information which later resulted in the opening of the big three public sites still known today:


 * www.orm.nu -> www.isonews.com/www.theisonews.com
 * www.nforce.nl/www.nfohump.com
 * www.vcdq.com

www.orm.nu was started by members of ORIGIN/DEViANCE as stated in one of their NFO's:

"Check out the ISO scene's BEST news page at WWW.ORM.NU Team DVNiSO"

Pre databases history

Since pre sources are becoming more and more public it was a small step to design a frontend for the SQL databases bots use to store their info. Since the distribution of NFO, SFV and M3U files was picked up by about every prenet the availability has vastly increased. Ondertitel (talk) 00:29, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

History Of ISOnews. « Reply #49 on: 2006-06-19, 14:32:08 » Quote Well, to be exact isonews is actually the third webpage (or fourth if you count domain change to theisonews.com). The idea of listing releases started by a friend of mine under a free domain with VCD nfos, samples, screenshots and comments only in late 1997. In 1998 "orm" started another webpage that listed everything which the VCD section merged into, this was known as orm.nu or .com, cant recall exactly. After that Krazy8, mandarin and sinkist came along and isonews.com was created with better coding thanks to mandarin and a more structured database. Orm wasn't around very long and faded away, krazy8 had legal problems and moved on with life, sinkist friendship with mandarin ended and he left quite abruptly.

As to the "flaming", sure there has been "flaming" but "back then" sceners roamed the forum and IRC channel and there was a neutral ground for them to take out their arguments off and on. The forum itself never took off though, it was quite slow the first year but picked up as sceners left/went underground and p2p kids flooded in. Since then its been a spiral downwards. http://www.theisonews.com/forums/index.php/topic,139550.msg2050826.html#msg2050826 Ondertitel (talk) 00:40, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
