https://archive.org/details/FantazineNo.5 Here it is. Forgive the identifier - a silly and foolish mistake that I find myself unable to change.

Thank you. I shall do that tomorrow.

Hi. It's me - you know, I declare my return every six months and disappear after a week - it's embarrassing but I get so busy that it's all I really do... Anyways. I have on a USB drive of mine a decent number of fanzine .pdfs I've accumulated over the years. Here's the full list: Concept Nr. 5 Fantazine Nr. 1-5, 8 Paradox Nr. 1-3, 9, 11/12 (double issue), 13-19 Project Ignition Nr. 1 The Gameroom Blitz 1, 2/3 (double issue), 4-7 In total, that's roughly thirty .pdfs if I have my count correct. These .pdfs don't take up much room, but they do clutter my USB drive unnecessarily, and, as I'm running out of room on it, I want to clear some room on it for .pdfs I actually need and will use - e.g. books on composition, music theory, etc. So if anyone wants them, now is your chance to grab them. There's a possibility that some of these are not even on the Internet anywhere anymore - though obviously I can't verify that claim. (The Paradox website is still up, though many issues I have are not online on it, as is the website The Gameroom Blitz website is up and has all seven issues of TGB, the Concept issue, and the last issue of P:I, as for the rest, I've no idea.) So if anyone wants them for themselves or for future fanzine archival on Retromags, now is your chance.

I've heard the soundtrack for Curse of the Sinistrals. I didn't like the soundfont very much, but, yeah, the 2nd CD's arrangements are pretty darn good.

Be fair, though. Some of the fanzine editors were 13, 16. Young. Just because they were okay with it then doesn't mean they would be now. That said, you're quite correct. Please forgive my poor wording. Take them as potential precautionary measure if the problem was to ever arise.

Radiant Historia (Yoko Shimomura), Treasure of the Rudras (Ryuji Sasai), Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals (Yasunori Shiono), Vandal Hearts II (Hiroshi Tamawari), Soul Blazer (Yukihide Takekawa), Fossil Echo (John Robert Matz), Infinity (Eric E. Hache), Mythri (Ian Stocker), and Rogue Galaxy (Tomohito Nishiura) are all favorites of mine.

John Robert Matz. This man is a fantastically talented composer - he did Fossil Echo and Rodina and a bunch of other scores and they're all absolutely fantastic. Fossil Echo in particular really got his name out there, I think, and he's currently working on four-five different scores. I can't wait to hear them.

Personally, I think that it is OK to preserve fanzines. As you say, this is, technically speaking, wholly illegal. However, I won't say I think the fanzines should be straight up preserved in original form. Addresses should be whited out, since these people sent the fanzines from their home. That's just the simple matter of privacy, and, also, those people may not live there any more. Likewise with telly numbers if there are any in the fanzines. With regards to names, I don't think that matters much once you remove the address. There are probably dozens, if not hundreds, of, say, Chris Kohlers out there. But, I suppose, if one had so many reservations about it, you could white out the last name of anyone who isn't a known media figure e.g. Chris Kohler, again (when I say "known media figure" I mean someone who is not today anonymous and whom we have confirmation did work on the fanzine), or, heck, at the very most, white-out all the last names. Those are, I think, perfectly reasonable solutions to the matter of privacy.

Not really much of a fan, but I do enjoy it when it's well-done. I mean, I think I do. Of zombie stuff I've only ever really read World War Z.

You're welcome, and no need to welcome me - I'm just HunterofBugs under a less ridiculous name.

At the prodding of RetroDefense, I am bringing over my list from Digital Press (where I am no longer active) to Retromags.

Easy pick for me.

Just to throw my two cents in, why not use a format for naming like, per say: [Magazine Name] [Release Date, Month/Day/Year] [issue Number] [Quality] [Archival Website] "Day" only being listed if it's applicable. Quality of course referring to, well, quality, rather it's a lack of it, the file's corrupted, or if there's missing pages. Naturally if everything's fine one won't list it. So for the first issue of Edge... Edge - 10-1993 - 01 - OGM ...or however you like to format it - personally, I don't like underscores or periods, just hyphens, and I always write dates mm/dd/yyyy, but I suspect I'm in the minority with the last one. Anyways, just my two cents. I shall leave you fine fellows to your debate.

PM sent! Thank you very very much, Phillyman.

I'm so sorry to create another topic so soon after the last one, but I was wondering if it was possible to change my username. I don't see any option for it under 'My Settings' - is it even possible to change a username? As I would much like to change mine.
