Post subject:  The Dark Side Magazine - Plagiarism Charges
Spotted this post over at SGM, disgraceful to say the least, and it looks
like its been going on for quite a while! Still i thought the magazine
went rapidly downhill after issue 50.

Quote:
It seems that England's THE DARK SIDE MAGAZINE has been
publishing plagiarized reviews and other materials. The following
thread details some of these rapings:

This is completely inexcusable behavior. I recommend that everyone
on this board who has been published in one way or another take a look at
THE DARK SIDE's last few issues (hopefully on display at your local shop -- I
won't be giving any more of *my* money to this publication) and make sure
they too weren't copied.

Feel free to spread the word to other writers in fandom. This is a major
slap in the face to all of us.

current count: 235 confirmed thefts
total wordage: over a hundred thousand words--and counting!


But the reason i'm bumping, was that i just stumbled across the site a day or so back and noticed this little bit of news:
Quote:
March 27, 2006: Members of the British site, SEX GORE MUTANTS, voted IS IT UNCUT? as the best genre magazine of 2005. In the last three years THE DARK SIDE won this award easily with hundreds of votes, but, after last year's revelations of massive plagiarism, the magazine was able to only garner a pathetic three votes. SEX GORE MUTANTS headmaster, Alan Simpson, notes: "In the six years the SGM Awards have been running we have never seen such a swing in readers votes."

Just wanted to say that IS IT UNCUT? is a superb magazine and well worth a read. Also their genre magazines are top, I just finished reading vol.1 of their slasher magazine Slash Hits.
