Apologies on the quoted bit, after I had noticed what had happened I tried to edit it but there was no option to do so.
Hopefully the above will finally appease Dave?
The guy is an ass, and I have less than no problem posting GameFan content on Archive.org, same with the "free with any purchase" Game Informer that was given away at FuncoLand. There's this whole tear about ownership of scans and whatnot, and I get it, I've done a few myself, they are taxing and time consuming..but when it's something that no one wants to get caught with, what's the beef with "copying someone's scans off Flickr"? The mags were unreadable in that format, it has been years since the guy posted them, no one would take the initiative to do it, so I did it and now thanks to his efforts we now have 47 issues of GameFan available, in full, for people to view.
The whole point of my offer to the community was *IF* anyone has any GameFan or Game Informer scans they would like to see posted, I can and will do it, they just have to contact me. Not saying that RetroMags has a horde of either, not saying Out of Print Archive has them either, but *if anyone out there does*, and happens to be on the forum of, what is in my opinion, one of the two leading distributors of digital retro mag content, I was putting the offer out there. That's it, nothing heavy, and as I said at the very beginning of my last post "I'm not trying to get anything going with the mods", I know it's a touchy subject.
In the end though, I don't mind taking the hit for copying other people's content, when said content is something they don't want to or can't be associated with. It's a common goal of all of us to get these mags out there, I'll help if you'll let me.

In other news, I should have all three issues of Manci Games posted over at Archive.org here in the next week or so. Issue three was never finished, but I'm asking that Jaysen send me what was produced and I'll try to put it together so that it can finally be viewed.
