I remember when I first found this site and reading all the posts like this one ("What should Retromags scan next?) and others saying things like "our scanners are working on ____." I was pretty naive at the time, but to some degree I still think such wording is misleading, as it creates an impression that there are special people who work for this site whose job or purpose is to scan magazines. It made me feel as if the people making the scans were different from me somehow. The reality, of course, is that that Retromags doesn't scan anything. Our members are the ones doing the scanning. And if you're reading this, you're probably a member, no different from the ones contributing scans. Sure, some people don't own any magazines or can't afford to acquire any, and others may own magazines but not a scanner, so contributing might not be possible for them. But every "scanner" is just a regular member who one day decided to give something back. They didn't need to be asked or given permission, they just did it on their own and were kind enough to share with the rest of us. I'd like to think that most of our members are really just scanners waiting to happen. Imagine how quickly things would blow up around here if everyone who could, would.
