Well. Hosting them is not an issue for me at all. As I mentioned in another thread my company manages websites and our server farm is on the large side. I lost count of how many servers we have after it hit 25. I could toss them on a server with memcache and dish them out of memory.

The main issue that I have is that we have a lawsuit going with Rapidshare and since Paypal processes for them they are in the suit as well. For me it's more a matter of principal that I don't want sites like this to make a damn cent off the work I do.

I don't understand your plan.. If you have the bandwidth now but will not scan/share the mags because of Rapidshare/paypal - and there is no way they will be out of the picture as long as someone can upload your stuff to them... What is it you are waiting to happen for you to act? .

Because that is not my style. I don't care about personal notoriety whatsoever. I just don't want to go through the hassle of scanning and destroying magazines with the end result being a torrent. Especially if that torrent ends up on one of the download sites like Filesonic where the uploader is making money off it.


I can understand that.. but realistically, no matter what you do, that's where they are going to end up.

Indeed. Someone's going to put all of ThumpNugget's Byte's into a torrent eventually, if it's not already been done. Torrents are just the most efficient way to get the most data to the most people as possible. If some third party makes some ad revenue off of it, so what? The point is preservation.

Yip.. Scan them puppies and don't sweat the distribution! Too much work anyway - AtariMania has the bulk of everything I've scanned available for anyone for free without even having an account (except the American AtariUser - no love for that mag!) I really am amazed at the activity in the Atari community and the quality of some of the websites and the ongoing effort put into them.

Top four in picture are sold (Boxing, Summer games, Galaxian, Defender) are gone

If someone want the remaining eight games I'll let them go for $15.00 plus shipping. The weight is about four pounds from 83646.
