Retromags Forum: Retromags - Preserving video game magazines from our past!

A Note to Publishers and Content Owners

This site is set up to digitally preserve video game magazines from 1999 and earlier. We do this because issues of these magazines are not readily available from publishers/content owners. While we don’t have legal permission, we operate in a way where we do not release anything that will reduce any potential income for you, or magazines that are available from you, nor do we release scans that are of a quality that may reflect poorly on you. So far this has worked, with several publishers/content owners basically ignoring our existence.

However, if you wish that we do not make content that you legally have ownership available on this site, just let us know and we will remove it. While we would prefer permission, we will fully oblige with your wishes concerning your content. This is a hobby we do out of passion and love for the video game magazines of yesterday, and not worth legal battles of any kind.

Welcome to Retromags. The new Retromags. The old Retromags.

Phillyman, the founder of this site, has decided to step down to pursue other things in life. I decided to step up and keep the site going. Apart from cosmetic changes, everything else will be pretty much business as usual. That is the plan anyhow.

New guides and FAQs will be going up, some forum clean up taking place, and I will try to make things easier to find. Feel free to ask any questions or make any suggestions for changes or modifications. And if you have any FAQ questions you would like to see, send them along.

Welcome!

Our 5th Anniversary Will Be Our Last...

Dear Community,

I have come to the realization that I no longer have the time to keep this site going. Our 5th Anniversary is just around the corner on June 25th 2010. On that date I will officially retire from this site. I am hoping that someone will step forward between now and then and take over ownership of this website. I just feel as though I can no longer sustain this site on a level that is fair to our members. In life priorities change and so do people, I am hoping that I can pass Retromags to a new owner and through that action this site can continue. Let's be honest, that I probably am not the best person to run a huge project such as this. Many times my own personality has clashed with the talent that we acquired, some of these times the people deserved the treatment they got.....other times I regret the actions I have taken. So I look out to you guys and hope that someone steps forward to take this website in a fresh and new direction. I have a few members that I would not mind handing this site over to, hopefully you know who you are....

Sincerely
-Phillyman

Update!

E-Day will be taking over ownership of Retromags, I have done some rough calculations and figure that we need about $225 to pay Retromags up for the year. Please consider chipping in so that E-day only has to worry about the actual running of this website...and not the bills. There is a Paypal donate button on the home page!
