[QUOTE="Erik Mona, post: 6246419, member: 2174"] As you've no doubt guessed by now, internet forums basically destroyed Dragon's Forum section, and email really put the screws to the letters section, as well. The reason I renamed Dungeon's letters-to-the-editor column "Prison Mail" around issue #114 is that 95% of all physical letters sent to the magazine at this point were from incarcerated readers (whom you'll learn a bit more about in an upcoming "please don't murder me, I didn't cancel the magazine" editorial in an upcoming issue of Dragon. It's very likely that for this issue, those were the only relevant letters that actually came in. We occasionally scraped message board posts and emails for inclusion in this section, but as the format changed from actual mail to email, the "content" of the letters often shifted to much less formal, shorter inquiries that wouldn't be very interesting in a letter column. --Erik [/QUOTE]
