You could just add that link to your signature, it would save you the time of typing it every few posts

I don't like to advertise the competition on another site

I don't like to advertise the competition on another site

Are we competing against each other though? If so, when did it start and what's the prize?

Hehe ..... don't start with that. I am going to have a whole heap of spare time on my hands soon enough.

Never wake a sleeping bear. Okay well, I might be the size of a bear but ......

And it looks like Phillyman has come back and given an update so there. It's good to know he's still around. Honestly, it wasn't asking much I think.

Didn't mean to stir the pudding bud, nor was I pointing it all at you (pretty sure there was one or two others that I was referring to in general), but you're probably right here, I may have misunderstood the intent behind your post. No worries here. Soon as things get going, I'm all for helping seed torrent if Philly and the admins of RM are ok with it.

OK, glad that's behind us

I tried to edit my last post but couldn't so I'll just say what I had written then, but I'm not totally against newsgroups since it seems to be a more permanent way of magazines staying up. If it's only like $3-$10 as quoted anyway, not bad for unlimited access. My only worry would be if that'd deter potential contributors, but then again they can always donate their scans for the archive in addition to providing their own links outside of the newsgroup for anyone if they wished.

Speaking of competition, it really isn't since it's only French, but http://www.abandonware-magazines.org/ is one of the best places I know for French magazines. Such a huge archive and easy to navigate, I wonder how they can afford to host so much on that one server.
