Slashdot

If you see a slight (or not-so-slight) spike in visitors this weekend, it's because the topic of digitizing old video game magazines came up on Slashdot. A couple people (including myself) mentioned Retromags as a useful place to visit. http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/07/05/2222241

Hopefully the influx of members will help the project!

Very awesome, Word of mouth usually brings us more people that want to help scan, and that usually equals more releases each week

I noticed the reply talked about the torrents being pretty much Nintendo Power only and most having no seeders.

Which had me thinking. I stopped uploading torrents to [censor bypass] as I was only getting upload speeds around 3kb/sec on my old system for some reason.

I tested this out now that I have a new one plus a better connection and I can upload at 120kb/sec.

Also starting next month, my monthly bandwidth will be more or less doubled, so I'll have the opportunity to seed quite a bit more.

My [censor bypass] account was deactivated several months ago due to the hacker incident, so I was gonna ask for an invite again.

But I can't seem to get the site to load... Is [censor bypass] dead or something?

I know I'm having problems getting on there too now. Hope they weren't hacked again... or shut down by the IDSA.

Hmm, [censor bypass] was working for me the other day, but I'm having no luck connecting to it either. 420, who used to be one of the best scanners on this site, was handling his strategy guide scan project through that site, so I hope he finds a new place to continue it.

I plan on releasing a Nintendo Power issue 1-200 torrent once I actually finish that project. Anyone want to help? I know I'm not the only person with old Nintendo Powers laying around.....

I truely hope people keep there mouth shut for the fact that this site is amazing.

[censor bypass] does seem to go down from time to time (seems to be up at the moment though) but it is a great site. If I get any invites, I'll offer them up here first.
