Well ..... it looks like I am at a loose end until Phillyman get's all the other esoteric mag area's sorted out anyway so I am on a hiatus until then. Probably until he gets the next release of the site software up and running actually, when we should be able to easily incorporate alternate links rather than having to add them to the description field. So at this stage I am not scanning anything new .... just taking some much needed time out with family & friends.

No worries. I have them all uploaded to MU anyway so it's just a case of copy/pasting in the link anyway ... but if you think it's easier with the next release then it's all good. Considering I'm sorta the only one doing the PDF conversion/uploading here I'm the one it impacts the most so anything that makes my day easier is obviously going to be appreciated.

Well .... let me know when Teamies have editing capabilities so I can add PDF download links to the description field. Do you think this may all be invalidated though by the new download module coming soon?

Excelent. Just wanted to make sure our guys got them

Gee .... nice collection. Did you get any takers?

If you can get the downloads area working without direct download links and put up base linking to pages for the different magazines then we help add the magazines etc. For instance ... I have PDF's for Amiga Format, Computer Gamer, Computer & Video Games, Analog Computing already on Megaupload. If you can create the base pages for those along with a "Misc Mags" page I will happily add the issues I have and provide the PDF download links for those. It'll help spread the load. And I have the links for 60 Nintendo Powers in PDF as well so can add those too

This is more difficult than first thought. Apart from Capcom who made their own games available most others licensed to one or the other. But even Capcom didn't port all their arcade games to both platforms..... Area 88 and Final Fight spring to mind. Interesting .... must have a better look into this.

As the download area has been taken offline I have made this post for people to continue to download my magazine submissions in PDF format. I didn't keep the .CBR's as I don't like the format but this should allow people to read my submissions.

Underground-Gamer is such a site. But it's only good until some disgruntled member uses an invite to allow a law enforcement rep on and then they're in no better position than anywhere else truth be told. Tehparadox is less likely to fall due to the fact they dont run torrent trackers and the links are RS/MU so they have no direct involvement in piracy. And MU/RS comply with takedowns on a file bu file basis so are seen to comply with rightsholders.

That 1999 blanket is about as useless as a bulletproof vest stopping a head shot if the copyright owner decided to take legal action against us .. or OoPA etc. Unless written permission has been explicitly given by the rightholders to allow them to be copied/made freely available then you're crazy if you think our pre-2000 rule provides any level of protection whatsoever. The only works I know of here that are public domain are the Analog Computing and the Antic magazines I uploaded ... both of which were placed into the public domain.

Get over it guys. If we host external links I don't think the Hosting Company will care in the least as they don't have the offending material on their servers anymore. And the big plus in all this is at least it wasn't initiated by an owner of the magazines. THAT would have been far worse considering EVERY MAGAZINE here is illegally copied and the 1999 cut-off was just to make us feel good about what we are doing. We wouldn't have a leg to stand on in a court of law in the event of a publisher deciding to take legal action.

I think Phillyman said they may have done an audit on their servers in relation to volume of space being used and for what. When they found our lot they had a look and determined copyrighted works were being hosted and requested them taken down. This was always on the cards .... we'd come close a couple of times previously I think. But I had uploaded nearly 100 mags recently at some 9GB's+ in size so it may have set the alarm bells off. Until Phillyman can get download pages working where a direct link isn't mandatory we're a tad screwed. All my PDF'd mags are on Rapidshare or Megaupload so it's easy to paste links back in for those but the current upload page requires a direct link when you create the page or else it error's. Is this correct Philly?

Looks like it's all over now anyway given the remove content request from the Hosting company. Spare time to burn now ....

Speaking of loud ...... anyone tried the Terminator Salvation blu-ray? Wow ... the intro music is just incredibly loud with a level of base bordering on insane. Luckily the wife was next door the first time I played it or I would've been in seroius, serious trouble.

Sorry for jumping to wrong conclusions Jimmy. Been trying to push stuff through so everyone here has something interesting to read over Xmas break & was scanning/editing two more mags until late last night. Needless to say a tad bit tired this morning. Tired = irritable when you're as old as me so I guess I simply lost the plot on this one. Now I know what burn-out means ....

WTF does that mean? You're implying that I don't contribute & I'm useless? That coming from someone who probably donated just to download while giving nothing back other than a one off donation? Well ..... the uploading of my mags here has just been stopped dead in its tracks. Thank you .... GOODBYE!!!!

So is my uploading new mags at present going to result in more rework for you Philly? If so I can hold off any more uploads until the new system comes online or when you tell me to start again. Not that that'll go down well with the punters around here

Every scanner I have ever owned allows you to set the DPI scanning resolution either in the scanning software that controls it or physically via menu settings as in the Brother MFC6890CDW A3 scanner I am currently using. I am not sure what model you are using but my guess is if you use the standard menu it defaults to 150DPI but if you use the Advanced manu you should get a whole range of options to choose from.

That'll be a great update for us uploaders. I wonder if I can still post PDF versions within the multiple links feature and advertise the fact that they are PDF's instead of CBR's for those wanting that format? Or will I still having to create a manual link? Time will tell I guess.

That's cool. If you do want to scan the guide is 1. Scan at 300dpi 2. After you crop and rotate the pages resize it to 1440 resolution width-wise and let the software auto resize the vertical Any issues just PM me or yell on the forum as plenty of members here are willing to help out. If you are unable to edit let us know so we can work out a way of getting your raw scans uploaded somewhere for someone else to edit. When we receive contributions Philly happily changes a persons status at which point the world is your oyster so to speak. Again ... welcome aboard.

Contributing as absolutely the best way for both the site and members as without contributors this place wouldn't exist.

Hiya & welcome to the site. We have some EGM's here but due to the recent issues with our Rapidshare side of things they are only available to members who have posted enough or have contributed to the site. Down despair though .... we are working on rectifying the issue as fast as possible so they will become available eventually. And I am converting all our mags over to PDF for those into that format rather than .CBR's so expect to see them as I get them converted and reuploaded. In the meantime you could check the misc downloads where we have some Amiga and Atari mags with download links along with some Nintendo/SNES mags I have uploaded. And all the Analog Computing mags for the Atari 800XL [one lovely machine I have to say ... still own mine] have links too. So while they aren't EGM's hopefully they'll keep you going until we get things back to normal around here. I'd happily scan your EGM's but the postage to New Zealand would be a real shocker!!!!

Agreed. There are plenty of sites out there hosting torrent files for magazine collections for those wanting to just grab and run. This site is geared towards those wanting to contribute in some way, not towards freeloaders. In saying that though, until the former Admin member here who was hosting the Rapidshare links took them down when he 'left' we had most files available here for said leechers. We have recently acquired a Megaupload account but the Admin for the site has been unwell recently and things are a little slow at present as a result. In other words ... patience is a virtue. If you aren't prepared to contribute the price is that you will have to wait for progress on the re-upload front.

To be honest if you just wish to leech mags and contribute nothing in return towards preserving them, nor contribute to the site in any way other than moaning about not being able to download then this site is definitely NOT for you. As such it may be better for you to go look for sites with torrents etc where you can leech to your heart's content. There are indeed magazines able to be downloaded as most people here could probably attest to. All my contributions have Rapidshare or Megaupload links for freeloaders like yourself for instance but due to reasons beyond the Admin's control most other Rapidshare links were deleted and we are in the process of getting them re-upped at this time. That won't happen though just because you join the site and your first two posts here are just a bitch-rant.... if anything those comments would give anyone on any site a reason not to go any faster.

I have a lot more Computer Gamers, CVG's and a few ZZap's etc on the shelf along with The Games Machines so there may be something in that lot you find interesting
