Scene on the Internet
These days, there are so many places on the Internet where you can find sceners and stuff by sceners that there is definitely not a single scener in the world who knows all of them. This document is supposed to be a guide in this maze; it is supposed to list some of the most important web resources related to the demoscene. This is interesting for newbies as well as for some of the most experienced sceners and even veterans. It might show you some new aspects of that huge community called scene.
