Future Scene News was founded on November 10th 1997 by BrainStew. Zerouser from Syndication was apparently the person in which inspired him to do so.<p></p><em>"It took us one long week to find a coder for the e-mag and we are thankful for that because now we gained two other coders because of him. Some people ask how we came up with the name Future Scene News, to be truthful, we had to find something to fit FSN because before this e-mag was created, I founded a quake clan called Fusion in which never really got around to doing so I changed it to my second best thing.  If you wonder how  we got the letters FSN out of Fusion then it's the first, middle, and last letters in fusion."</em>
