Each time I update the forum to a new version (security holes fixed). It wipes out ALL of the modifications to this forum.....you may not know how many I have but let me list them Forum Casino Forum Arcade Forum Battle System Forum Bank The Portal Page PM Welcome Message on Join Community SEO software (makes our urls search engine friendly) Close Topics that have no replies in over 6 months Probably a few that I am forgetting, and each one of those modifications means I have to download certain files, make changes, make a backup of that file, and reupload it to the server. Some of the modifications require 10 files to be edited. Sorry it took me soo long

I love the look on McCains face when Obama said ZERO!!!!

Not to mention that he "CAN" download magazines through Rapidshare....so his whole point about not being able to download is complete BS also

1) Wow that was the only reason you joined? 2) The FAQ clearly states the program that is needed to read these files 3) You mentioned that last time you were here.....but still came back again to repeat it 4) In your control panel you can disable the emails sent out by this board.....you should know that already because 1emu uses this same forum

Time to review an old topic In talks with Mort right now about any scans he would be willing for Retromags to host

I am looking into "Possibly" getting a Premium Mega Upload account as a secondary choice to non premium members

Correct, For some odd reason unknown to me.....the system will block you if you try to register a new account with the same email.....but not with the same IP. They are doing a huge update to the forum software that should be coming in the next few months....hopefully its fixed in that release

We like to try to keep partial uploads to a minimum, If a magazine is missing 1-3 pages we could probably insert place holders. If its missing over 5 pages it would probably be better just to wait for someone else to scan it. Keep in mind that 2 people scanning the same page on different scanners can produce different results. I got your PM, just been a busy day at work

I would love to see some of those early GamePro's scanned also The ones with No cover may have a easy fix, Magweasel.com has cover scans of most of the Gamepro collection, and if the inside of the cover is just an advertisement, we can insert a place holder until we find someone to scan the missing page.

So I log in today and what do I see.....More Clones I deleted all the clone accounts yesterday and today they are still being created. The blacked out ones are Myself and Newsbot and someone that I made a 1 time exception for

As of Today 10/07/2008 I have promoted Meppi from Super Moderator to Co-Owner of Retromags. Meppi joined the Retromags team back in October of 2006 and he has consistently proven himself as an incredible asset to the Retromags team ever since. Meppi has always shown respect for all of our members, and I believe that the work he produces is of the utmost quality and it stands as an example for all of us. Meppi will serve as an important balance to myself in making Retromags a better place for everyone. At times I may not be around the site and now in my absence Meppi will be able to make necessary changes as needed. I believe that this promotion will give Retromags more of a Democratic feel with power distributed evenly between Meppi and myself. Congrats Meppi! -Phillyman

I am in talks with the creators of this forum and download manager as to solutions to this problem. Hopefully I can work something out such as blocking leechers and restoring privileges

Hmm an interesting concept, I only see one problem......I would need to create like 8 groups (as download permissions are by group). You have 4 levels for team members and 4 groups for people who donate funds. I tried to make the system reward anyone who helped, basically looking at it from the standpoint that $2.50-$15 does not break anyone's wallet.....but still allows us to keep buying new magazines. The only other problem I can see is that when you start asking for $25-$100 from donators.....it may seem as though we are selling the scans.

1) We accept donations through Paypal, see the button at the bottom of this page 2) That would be fantastic, we always are looking for help on the scanning front. I will try to get you a list of whats being scanned 3) Thanks

As much as I hate to do this, certain assholes on this site have forced my hand. Starting immediately the download privileges for Newbies and Members have been revoked. Before Newbies = 1 download per week Members = 3 downloads per week Now Newbies = 0 downloads per week Members = 0 downloads per week Every day that I have signed in for the past week I have been deleting a huge number of duplicate accounts. Today alone I banned an IP address that had created OVER 10 accounts on this site. Unfortunately the only way to discourage members from creating clone accounts is to take away the benefits of doing so. Since the Newbie group gets 1 download just for having an account, I have no other way to discourage this type of activity. Also we are seeing a huge influx of spam messages on the forum in the attempt to reach 15 posts. Since it is fairly easy to reply to 15 topics.....I have taken away the privileges for Members also. I do not know how long these restrictions will be in effect, but I refuse to spend time each day banning assholes that abuse the system. If you want to become a Premium Member you can donate $2.50 to download 7.5 GIGABYTES of magazines! Also at the sole discretion of the Admin/Moderators......If we see you helping out in your own way. Sometimes we may bump you to a Premium Member for a certain amount of time. -Phillyman

That one is over with but we have this one now, that I added to the FAQ.

So who won the Vice President Debate tonight? I personally think Biden crushed Palin tonight. She kept falling back to "Energy" and "Maverick" or just going off topic. So who do you believe won the debate tonight?

You read my mind!

My DS has disappeared into my girls hands, She is addicted to Picross.....I caught her playing Picross at 6am one night

I am sooo getting one of these on launch day
