What MonNom said.
Used to hang out in Dreamless.org (even had the t-shirt! - given by Joshua at FlashForward, London).
When dreamless ended we all kinda migrated to Newstoday.

I googled "good for nothing magazine london". One of the first results is a post from 17 years ago on QBN.

Worked at a studio collective in Copenhagen with https://www.qbn.com/homeostatic/… back in the Newstoday era (2005). Eventually signed up myself. And now look at me.

Because what other website, for designers, would have a thread which feels threatening and inviting at the same time?
My name’s Ianbolton and that’s why I’m on QBN

Work flew me up to Sydney from Melbourne to see the Semi-Permanent design conference. Newstoday were one of the guest speakers. Can't recall the year now but it was awesome! Anyone else go to that?

My first internship in 2010 had this website as default when you opened the browser on the computer which i was working on. Some dude before me lurked on QBN.

My designer bf at the time was on it all the time. There was lots of cool inspo going around and some funny characters. I started lurking, about a year after I decided I wanted to be part of the conversation.

It was 2004 and I was designing the Big Issue (magazine sold by the homeless). My Co worker introduced me to this new drug called News Today. I’ve been consuming it on and off since. I can never seem to get clean.

Got a login in late '09 (was sure it had been earlier), presumably I stumbled across it on Google. Software guy (not your sort of designer) and so have mostly lurked.
