The community is dead.

And most importantly, there were the very few of us who said, no, no, the community is always there.

There is still a community that deserves the magazine like this.

There's always curiosity out there and always the need for people to publish articles.

And we have to provide the platform for them so they can do it.

And FRAC is the perfect platform for these articles.

So we were brainstorming about

who we could contact out there, who has experience with running a magazine, who would enjoy running a magazine, and who is also technically skilled.

Because Frag in the end is a very technical magazine.

So the group that came to our minds were the people who were running already TempOut magazine.

And we contacted them and we had a phone call together and the rest is history.

Frack 72, because it's marked our 40th anniversary, we all wanted to make something very special.

So the initial idea was to go back to the Netherlands

to release a magazine there again as a hard copy where we released the first hard copy 24 years before.

But we got enough funding and we got enough community support to then be able to coordinate a release at three different conferences at the same time, which was in Netherland and at DEF CON in Las Vegas and at HOPE in New York City.

And then very smaller conferences all around the world.

So that was beautiful how the community came together and everybody chipped in some dollars and helped us.

I'd like to add something there.

When TMZ says there are four covers, three that are already released, and one of them that will be released at the end of the year,

It's because we're going to release the PDF online for everybody to print it at home or print it on a professional print shop and get it shipped to their home address.
