Yeah ... but it sorta grates when you spend hours compiling and uploading old magazines and all you hear around here is "When will the next Nintendo Power be available?" etc. Don't get me wrong ... most sites with magazine torrents like underground-gamer show similar statistics with older stuff rather poorly seeded in comparison to the X-brick and Gaystation mag torrents. It just seems to just be a sign of the times I guess. But it does make one question whether the effort of scanning older magazines is even worth it. I have the original mags after all so it isn't like I need to scan them for my own benefit at the end of the day. Sorry for being somewhat negative. But I've uploaded 60+ mags lately with barely a word sent my way from anyone so these sorts of topics tend to make me a tad irritable. To such an extent that the UK Superplay's mags on my shelf won't be scanned .... ever!!!

Reputation doesn't even come into the equation Jake. Knowing that people appreciate it when you upload older mags makes the hours slaving over the scanner/PC worthwhile. But the grim reality is that I have had more hits from the rapidshare freeloader links than I have had comments from members here therefore I have to face the hard realities that old Atari and Amiga mags which I have a personal affinity for are just not the sort of things that have a following here. As such I find myself in the situation where the time spent just isn't worth it. So I am working as fast as I can to get the Analog Computings finished and I have a contributor providing me with ENTER magazines as well and when they are all uploaded I'll probably call it quits. While some may think I'm just being a whinger they are probably the sort of people that have absolutely no idea just how much effort it takes to get a mag up here. At this point I am probably just better off spending the time trying to fix my IBM laptop that died the other day rather than beating a dead horse so to speak.
