❕ <strong>'How do I do this?'</strong> on the <em>OriginalTrilogy.com</em>; some info &amp; answers + member FAQs ❕
Time

What is a ‘PM’? (and how do I send one?)

 
‘PM’ stands for Private Message. This is a useful function for exchanging information you may not wish to put up on the public part of the site - for all to see.

To send a Private Message… at the top right corner of the screen you will see a ‘speech bubble’ next to your avatar. Click on this and then click on the ‘Start a New Private Topic’ button. You will also be able to see your past Private Message conversations.
 

Alternatively, you can click on the name of a member here on the forum that you wish to contact - and select the ‘Start a Private Topic’ option to send them a PM.

 

When the speech bubble at the top right of the screen is filled in (a solid pale blue colour) it means you have received a new PM to read. If the speech bubble is hollow it means you have no new PMs to read.
 

You can leave a PM conversation at any time - but you cannot later re-join a PM conversation.

I can’t find the Search function on this site - Is there one? How can I do a search?

 
The site search function is currently disabled - some Mynocks got into the system and it hasn’t worked properly since.
 

However, you can search for any of the projects and discussion threads on the OriginalTrilogy•com by going to your online search engine of choice - ie, startpage, duckduckgo, yahoo, neeva, ecosia, bing, google, etc - and type in:-

site:originaltrilogy.com and then type in whatever it is you are looking for.

 

For example - if searching for threads on the adywan edits, type in:-

site:originaltrilogy.com adywan edits
 

If searching for threads on the 2006 GOUT DVDs, type in:-

site:originaltrilogy.com 2006 gout dvds
 

If looking for alterations to the original trilogy, type in:-

site:originaltrilogy.com alterations to the original trilogy

 
 

The various ‘Index and Help’ threads - pinned at the top of various sections of the site - may also be of some help in finding information and discussion threads too. The Project Indexes are particular helpful for trying to locate projects on here:-
 

Original Trilogy Discussion

Beyond the Original Trilogy

Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases

How do I embed a video (from YouTube or Vimeo etc) on here?

 
Unfortunately the site software doesn’t currently allow for that - though you can post a link to a video on the site, and if you choose, you can also post a thumbnail image of the video.
 

When you do link to a video - please give the title of it, a brief description of the content you are linking to, and which youtube channel (or vimeo etc) it is on…
 

For example…

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Trailer (Official)’:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=frdj1zb9sMY - a 2 minute video at the official Star Wars youtube channel.

 

Or read the How to post an online video on the OriginalTrilogy•com…

How to post a ‘spoiler’ on this site…

 
Although there is no specific spoiler code for this site… many of the members on here use the following as a make-shift spoiler option - as an example:-
 

x>> Luke blows up the Death Star in Star Wars!

Remove the ‘x’ from the above line of text - so the text reads as ‘>> Luke blows up the Death Star in Star Wars!’ - and it will ‘appear’ as it does below…
 

Luke blows up the Death Star in Star Wars!

 
^ If you click on the ‘Expand’ button you will see the spoiler content. Click on the ‘Collapse’ button - and the spoiler content will disappear.

 

Alternatively, you can also post a Spoiler like this… (click on the ‘Expand’ / ‘Collapse’ button below)

 > SPOILERS
 > 
 > > Vader is Luke's papa

SPOILERS

Vader is Luke’s papa

 
^ big thanks to ChainsawAsh for that 😃

How to post an image on the OriginalTrilogy•com… (+ useful markdown guides)

 
There have been a fair few requests of late from members - both new and erm… not-so-new - on how to post an image on this site, so here goes…

If you’d like to post a picture up on the OT•com - then the following will (should) work…
 

!{}(https://i.imgur.com/dfwJb97.png)

^ instead of the ‘{}’ above, put these ‘[]’ in their place, then click on ‘Submit Your Reply’ or ‘Preview Post’ - and the image will appear - like it does below… 😃
 

 

or…

Simply copy following line, without the >

 > ![](https://i.imgur.comdfwJb97.png)

…and paste it into a post you want to make. Replace the url (https://i.imgur.comdfwJb97.png) with the url of an image you want to post up on the forum, and then click on the ‘Preview Post’ or ‘Submit’ button to see the image appear on here.

 

or…

Watch this 50 second youtube video, titled ‘Markdown: inserting images’ on how to insert an image here on the forum.

 

There are also a couple of useful markdown guides, here:-

https://markdown-it.github.io (and scroll down to ‘Images’)
https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet

 
 

How to post an online video on the OriginalTrilogy•com…

 
It’s not possible to embed videos on here directly, but you can post up an image which links to a YouTube video by typing in the following code below:-

 

If typed in correctly the following video below should appear…

x

^ if you ‘right click’ on the above image you should be able to open the video in a new tab or window - without leaving this website.

 

This markdown guide may also be of some help (and then scroll down to the ‘Complete Example’ in the link below):-

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11804820/how-can-i-embed-a-youtube-video-on-github-wiki-pages

 

 

Some useful info and suggestions on using the formatting of the site…

^ which may be of some help with the layout of longer / detailed posts; for eg… (click on the ‘Expand’ / ‘Collapse’ button below)
 

Test for a post / section title etc | large 1#

Test for a post / section title etc | medium 2##

Test for a post / section title etc | regular 3###

 


 
^ line breaks can be an effective way of heling to break up longer posts into segments / ‘walls of text’ style posting.

Test for a post / section title etc | large 1# - bold

Test for a post / section title etc | medium 2## - bold

Test for a post / section title etc | regular 3### - bold

 


 
^ line breaks are also useful for highlighting where a change of subject or topic may occur.
 

Test - a decent way of using this as a title, perhaps? To help break up a long page of text? Outline a change of subject etc?

Test 2 - a decent way of using this as a title, perhaps? To help break up a long page of text? Outline a change of subject etc?

Test 3 - a decent way of using this as a title, perhaps? To help break up a long page of text? Outline a change of subject etc?

 

Test - a decent way of using this as a title, perhaps? To help break up a long page of text? Outline a change of subject etc? - bold

Try to leave a gap - a blank line - between any format coding and an image code; for example.

Alternatively, if you want to practice working on the markdown coding and layout on here… I’d personally recommend to members they use a ‘PM post’ to experiment with, to use as a preview or test, for any lengthy or detailed project posts.

Simply send a friend on here a PM message letting them what you are trying to do… and use that actual PM as a template, test post, or ‘draft’… until you are content with the layout of the post. If you like the look and layout of some other posts on here - then use the ‘Quote’ button and ‘cut & paste’ that post into your PM - to then edit and test accordingly. Good luck with it 👍

For the many of us wanting to have an official release for the unaltered theatrical version of the Original Trilogy…

 
#ReleaseTheOriginalTrilogy | doubleofive’s ‘Disney+ Should Offer the Star Wars Original Cuts’ article on the Wired website

^ A quality and comprehensive article on why the films are important to the people who grew up with them, why they wish to have the option to experience them as they originally were released - as well as preserving important and cultural film history for everyone to view and enjoy. A reminder that the various ‘Special Edition’ versions are NOT the award-winning, iconic, landmark & ground-breaking original version of the films. And highlights just why we are here - some of us for many years, and some just taking our first steps…

WIRED’s Article “Disney+ Should Offer the Star Wars Original Cuts”, doubleofive’s Magnum Opus (OT•com thread on ^ article)

#ReleaseTheOriginalTrilogy | What We Want And How To Make It - a sequel piece by doubleofive to the above Wired article.
 

❗ #ReleaseTheOriginalTrilogy | OriginalTrilogy•com’s enduring goal | How YOU can help… ❗

^ The OT•com supporting the #ReleaseTheOriginalTrilogy campaign - the call for an official release of the unaltered theatrical version of the three classic Star Wars films films - and what YOU can do to help restore them to the galaxy. MTFBWY… Always.

 

 

Posting on the OriginalTrilogy•com…

 
We’re a diverse and welcoming community - the site is after all based on a love & reverence for all things Star Wars. This is especially so for the Original Trilogy - with many on here viewing the Star Wars universe through a distinct OT-focused lens or perspective - as well as having a fervour for the unaltered theatrical cuts of the three iconic films, obviously. Yet there is also a respect for everything else from the Galaxy Far Far Away. Yes, even The Holiday Special, maybe…

Take your time to look around the site before posting - and to also get a feel for the place. We are not like reddit or 4chan etc (not that there’s anything wrong with those sites) - we’re just a little different… more of an old-skool site ‘for a more civilised age’.

The upshot is ‘Be Civil - Be Cool’; passionate - yet cordial discussion & wide-ranging views are both welcome and encouraged - toxicity, personal attacks, aggressive or vitriolic attitudes, disingenuous bad faith arguments - including agenda-led/toxic/FDM type videos, trolls & WUM behaviour are not - and choosing that path will likely see your stay on here being a short one.

To paraphrase Irvin Kershner, quoted whilst directing Empire Strikes Back… ‘fight for what you love - not because you hate’.
 

A reminder that a significant number of members on here are fans made to feel unwelcome at certain other Star Wars sites - or were censored or even banned for discussing the unaltered cuts, or highlighting Lucas’ disingenuous statements & alterations to SW history.

Also, a number of preservationists, fan editors, and people making other fan-made projects (such as documentaries) over the years here on the OriginalTrilogy•com have received death threats, threats in general, and ‘threats to life’ - unless they ceased work on, or distribution of, their freely-available projects. These threats were made from other Star Wars fans / zealots who see such projects on here from this community… as somehow insulting or derogatory to George Lucas, the wider Star Wars fandom, or to their own beliefs.

Beliefs such as preservations of the unaltered theatrical versions of the Original Trilogy should no longer exist or be seen, or that fan edits desecrate George’s ‘vision’(s). Or fans seemingly deeply offended - even triggered to anger and threats - by cited articles, projects, and documentaries from fans here chronicling a more complete and accurate history of Star Wars… than that of the re-written, somewhat selective, and retconned version of history often found in official or licensed content and sources from Lucas / Lucasfilm.

OriginalTrilogy•com is a site to openly talk about the revered original cuts of the 3 iconic Star Wars films and its full, factual history.

The ‘Fandom’ section of An Index & Help Thread for Original Trilogy Discussion may also be of interest / for further reading.
 

We hope you enjoy your time on here - as thousands of others already have, currently do, and will - in the future to come. 👍

 

 

If you are new to the OriginalTrilogy•com then the following information may also be of some assistance…

To help navigate your way around this Rebel Base - learning how this place works (and doesn’t) - the following may be of some use:-

 
The Welcome to the OriginalTrilogy.com | Introduce yourself in here | Useful info within thread is just that; a good place to make your first post on here - and for more longstanding members to welcome new people to our community.

Secondly, the About and Help sections may be of interest to you regarding this site and what the OriginalTrilogy•com is about.

Thirdly, the Announcements Section - including Site Rules & Guidelines, Fan Edit & Preservation Rules & FAQ, as well info for Signatures, Linking Policy for Downloads, and Plot Spoiler Policy (and much more) that may be of use too.

If you are having any issues with the site, have a question, an idea to improve the site, or would like to give some feedback - then these can be done in the Feedback Forum and General Assistance sections.

To Join the OT.com Discord server! click on the link. There is also the OriginalTrilogy.com Twitter too.

There are also several Index & Help Threads pinned at the top of many respective sections of the OT•com - which may help members find various topics of discussion, fan edits, preservations and other projects etc.
 

The 'An OriginalTrilogy.com Timeline | a history of the site | the why & how it came to be… thread not only chronicles the main events of this community - it also provides background information on the changes made to the Original Trilogy films.

The ‘Complete Comparison of Special Edition Visual Changes’ thread by doubleofive contains many sources of information as to the numerous changes made to the Original Trilogy films over time - as well as serving as an insightful and comprehensive discussion thread and reference point on the subject.

The ‘Some useful OT.com threads re the suppression of the unaltered theatrical cuts of the Original Trilogy films’ thread - highlighting just a few of the many discussion threads focusing on our love and appreciation for the OT - and ongoing attempts to achieve a modern, high quality, official release of the unaltered theatrical cuts of the classic Star Wars movies.

The 'Naysayer Guide’ by people who DON’T want an unaltered theatrical release of the Original Trilogy - on a modern high quality digital format; with factual information and answers to many of the quite uninformed, somewhat ignorant, and incorrect claims & statements over the years by people who don’t want a new release of the original unaltered theatrical cuts.

Also, the ‘George Lucas: Star Wars Creator, Unreliable Narrator & Time Travelling Revisionist…’ thread attempts to highlight and catalog some of the revisionism, altering of history and contradictory claims by George Lucas / Lucasfilm as to the formation, planning and history of the Star Wars films and universe therein.

 

 

Looking to acquire projects on here? Then please read this…

(and take the time to look around to see how this place works - and doesn’t - before posting requests for projects on here - thank you)
 

I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation Project I am interested in - but don’t know how to get / acquire / download it?
 

The OriginalTrilogy•com is a community where a ‘read first - post after’ mantra benefits everyone here - especially for the ‘Fan Project’ sections. We appreciate some may be excited to see the projects featured on this site - information on how to acquire them is readily available - yet patience is also required. If you bring impatience, entitlement, aggressive or vitriolic attitudes, personal attacks, or toxicity… then expect some choice words in return - and also expect your stay on here to be a short one.

Do NOT create a new thread asking ‘for a link to’… to Harmy’s Despecialized Editions, TN1’s 4K77/80/83, adywan’s Revisited Edits, the Hal9000 Edits, or any other project listed on this site. It is for you to take 5 minutes and go find the relevant project on here, for you to then read up on what the project is about, and then how to acquire it. Do not ask / expect others to do this simple task for you - we’ve had hundreds of such entitled requests over the years - and the patience of OT•com community members understandably wears thin. If thousands of people have managed to find, read up on, and then acquire these projects listed on here over the years… then you can too. A little patience - and a ‘read first - post after’ mantra - goes a long way on here…
 

These ‘signpost’ threads, featuring useful info and links to the five most sought-after fan projects, may be of interest…

Some info & help for Harmy’s Despecialized Editions of the Original Trilogy…

Some info & help for Puggo’s Grande 16mm preservations of the Original Trilogy…

Some info & help for TN1’s 4K77, 4K80 & 4K83 preservation projects of the Original Trilogy…

Some info & help for adywan’s Revisited Editions of the Original Trilogy…

Some info & help for the Hal 9000 Edits of the Prequel & Sequel Trilogies (+ more)

Obviously there are countless more projects in the four main Project Index threads in each of the ‘Fan Project’ sections of the site.
 

A link to ‘Where is the site Search Bar? / How to search for projects, information, or discussion threads on OriginalTrilogy.com’.

 

 

 

Harmy has put up a video on youtube - just to remind everyone that Fan Edits must never be bought or sold:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrwKZHv4OS0 - a 4 minute video at the Harmy Despecialized youtuhe channel.

 
Personally, as a member here, I’d encourage everyone to watch it and upvote that video.

 

 


 

 

Please do NOT post any questions in this thread - instead post them in the General Assistance forum - and they’ll be then answered or addressed in here - thank you.

And also let us know if you see any errors or broken links etc. 👍

Some info &amp; help for <strong>Harmy's Despecialized Editions</strong> of the <em>Original Trilogy</em>...
Time

 

An Introduction - and some useful information…

 

Introducing the Despecialized Edition and Its Sources’:-

www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGrXO2RDzLg - a video from the HanDuet youtube channel (with useful info in the description).

www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDz8VMMJU6I - the same 20 minute video as above, but in 4K, at the Petr Harmy youtube channel.

The blurb: ‘Star Wars: Despecialized Edition is a fan edit project with the goal to reconstruct the original theatrical releases of the Star Wars original trilogy at a quality comparable to the high-definition medium of our time.’

 
 

Harmy also has some useful and informative social media channels, here - Facebook : Youtube : Twitter : Instagram : Patreon

 

 

Harmy also made a video very much worth watching for anyone interested in his Despecialized Editions - or for Fan Edits and Preservation Projects in general:-

‘Fan Projects Must Never Be Bought Or Sold’:-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrwKZHv4OS0 - a 4 minute video at the Petr Harmy youtube channel.

 
 

Be sure to check out his quality youtube videos - including the work currently being done for Version 3 of Despecialized

 

 

The three main Despecialized Edition threads on the OT•com, by Harmy himself - where information is in abundance, along with the history and process of the project is also contained, and many many questions having been already answered:-

Star Wars - v2.7 is the latest version

Empire Strikes Back - v2.0 is the latest version

Return Of The Jedi - v3.1 is the latest version

 

HanDuet’s The Ultimate Introductory Guide to Harmy’s Star Wars Trilogy Despecialized Editions - in the 1st post in each of the Star Wars threads linked above… will likely be particularly helpful. All credit to HanDuet for making a great, easy-to-follow and useful guide.

^ a ‘must read’ for information on Harmy’s Despecialized Editions.

 
 

towne32 also had a thread here for his quality work on Harmy’s Despecialized Edition version of Star Wars (fully endorsed by Harmy himself):-

Harmy’s Despecialized Star Wars 1977 - Color Adjustment Project for v2.7 (released)

 
 

These two threads also contain a lot of useful info on a custom set of Harmy’s Despecialized Editions:-

Star Wars Despecialized Editions - Custom Bluray Set - by the talented and gracious NJVC

&

NJVC Custom Bluray Set of Harmy’s Despecialized Editions now available on Mega - by the generous and ever-helpful Solkap

 
 

Obviously, the main rule of acquiring the Despecialized Editions is that you must own the official retail release of the Original Trilogy on blu ray - or the HD Digital Download of the OT.

For more info see the The Ultimate Introductory Guide by HanDuet mentioned above - and also the OT•com Rules on this…

Fan Edit / Preservation Forum Rules and FAQ can be found here - link

Harmy’s Despecialized Editions can also be found on some public (and private) torrent sites - in various formats and sizes.

 
 

Of course, it’s up to you which format you’d like to have the Despecialized Edits stored on - many people like them on blu ray discs - some in quality Box Sets and cases or covers with quality artwork, a few have them stored on USB flash drives, or their computer hard drive, some have them on standalone HD Players, or plex / kodi / media centre type set-ups…

 
 

PS - A few more Harmy-related threads for his projects:-

The ‘Case Covers, Disc Labels, and Fan Art’ section of the OriginalTrilogy•com site has an array of cover and disc art for Harmy’s Despecialized Editions - well worth checking it out for ideas & inspiration, for printing info, and help too.

 

 

Also, if you are experiencing technical difficulties in acquiring Harmy’s Despecialized Editions…

 

 
In Section 10 of HanDuet’s superb and helpful The Ultimate Introductory Guide:-

'If you find any errors, have feedback, or can think of ideas for improving this guide, please leave a comment on my Facebook page. I will also post on that page when a new version of this guide is published, so please “like” the page if you’d be informed of future updates:

https://www.facebook.com/HanDuet.SWDE/
 

Or read through the various threads located in the How-To’s and Technical Discussions section of the site - searching for any previous similar questions and answers to your own queries - before making your own post in there.

The three main Despecialized Edition threads, linked at the top of this post also contains some answers to technical queries.

 
 

These alternative options in acquiring Harmy’s Despecialized Editions may be of some interest…

Bluto’s comprehensive and quality Guide to Downloading Projects from Usenet thread, in the How-To’s and Technical Discussions section of the site, may also be of interest for those members looking to acquire Harmy’s Despecialized Editions, or TN1’s 4K OT Preservations, and many other preservation projects too.

Solkap’s insightful and step-by-step guide for acquiring the NJVC Custom Bluray Set of Harmy’s Despecialized Editions now available on Mega thread may also be of some use.

Harmy’s Despecialized Editions can also apparently be found on many public (and private) torrent sites - in a range of file sizes and formats to suit - including many of the previously released versions.

An online search using ‘unfiltered’ search engines such as ‘DuckDuckGo’ may also provide you with some links to obtain the Despecialized Editions (at your own risk, of course).

 
 

Good luck with it - and hope you enjoy watching them, and any of the other great projects on the site too.

Secondly, the About and Help sections may be of interest to you regarding this site and what the OriginalTrilogy•com is about.

Thirdly, the ‘How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com - some info & answers to members’ queries thread should also hopefully be of some help as to many of the functions of the site, along with other related info as well.

The Announcements Section - including Site Rules & Guidelines, Fan Edit & Preservation Rules & FAQ, as well info for Signatures, Linking Policy for Downloads, and Plot Spoiler Policy (and much more) that may be of use too.

If you are having any issues with the site, have a question, an idea to improve the site, or would like to give some feedback - then these can be done in the Feedback Forum and General Assistance sections.

There are also several Index Threads pinned at the top of many respective sections of the OT•com - which may help members find various topics of discussion, fan edits, preservations and other projects etc.

To Join the OT.com Discord server! click on the link. There is also the OriginalTrilogy.com Twitter too.
 

'An OriginalTrilogy.com Timeline | a history of the site | the why & how it came to be… chronicles both the history of this site & also it’s continuing evolution.

The ‘Complete Comparison of Special Edition Visual Changes’ thread by doubleofive contains many sources of information as to the numerous changes made to the Original Trilogy films over time - as well as serving as an insightful and comprehensive discussion thread and reference point on the subject.

Also, the ‘George Lucas: Star Wars Creator, Unreliable Narrator & Time Travelling Revisionist…’ thread attempts to highlight and catalog some of the revisionism, altering of history and contradictory claims by George Lucas / Lucasfilm as to the formation, planning and history of the Star Wars films and universe therein.

The Some useful OT.com threads re the non-release of the theatrical OT | How you can help… thread - highlighting just a few of the many discussion threads on this site focusing on our love and appreciation for the Original Trilogy - and ongoing attempts to achieve a modern, high quality, official release of the unaltered theatrical version of the classic Star Wars movies.
 

 

Looking to acquire projects on here? Then please read this…

(and take the time to look around to see how this place works - and doesn’t - before posting requests for projects on here - thank you)
 

I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation Project I am interested in - but don’t know how to get / acquire / download it?
 

The OriginalTrilogy•com is a community where a ‘read first - post after’ mantra benefits everyone here - especially for the ‘Fan Project’ sections. We appreciate some may be excited to see the projects featured on this site - information on how to acquire them is readily available - yet patience is also required. If you bring impatience, entitlement, aggressive or vitriolic attitudes, personal attacks, or toxicity… then expect some choice words in return - and also expect your stay on here to be a short one.

Do NOT create a new thread asking ‘for a link to’… to Harmy’s Despecialized Editions, TN1’s 4K77/80/83, adywan’s Revisited Edits, the Hal9000 Edits, or any other project listed on this site. It is for you to take 5 minutes and go find the relevant project on here, for you to then read up on what the project is about, and then how to acquire it. Do not ask / expect others to do this simple task for you - we’ve had hundreds of such entitled requests over the years - and the patience of OT•com community members understandably wears thin. If thousands of people have managed to find, read up on, and then acquire these projects listed on here over the years… then you can too. A little patience - and a ‘read first - post after’ mantra - goes a long way on here…
 

These ‘signpost’ threads, featuring useful info and links to the five most sought-after fan projects, may be of interest…

Some info & help for Harmy’s Despecialized Editions of the Original Trilogy…

Some info & help for Puggo’s Grande 16mm preservations of the Original Trilogy…

Some info & help for TN1’s 4K77, 4K80 & 4K83 preservation projects of the Original Trilogy…

Some info & help for adywan’s Revisited Editions of the Original Trilogy…

Some info & help for the Hal 9000 Edits of the Prequel & Sequel Trilogies (+ more)

Obviously there are countless more projects in the four main Project Index threads in each of the ‘Fan Project’ sections of the site.

^ Bluto and Solkap’s posts, just above yours, should be of interest and help mate.

Basically, it boils down to vlc not being able to play the film itself (albeit being a great piece of kit for nearly everything else 😃)

The free and easy-to-use Leawo Media Player, linked to by Bluto above, should do the trick for testing and watching the film back on a computer.

Good luck with it.

Really felt for Marseille there - the fans put on a great show and looked they had a fantastic time (up 'till the game), and certainly didn’t deserve to lose that 3-0. Man, that early chance that fell to Marseille’s Germain…

I hope Payet will be okay for the World Cup - that injury didn’t look too good.

Fair play to Atletico - they are a machine that sucks the life of an opponent better than Dracula ever could. Though not great to watch, fair play to them for being such an organised defencive outfit in this modern era of the game where everything is seemingly set up towards the attacking aspects/play.

Though I wanted to Marseille to win, a part of me is quite happy that Torres leave his boyhood club with a trophy in his final few matches for them.

(The Super Cup between our two sides would have made for a great attacking game, Mala 😃 I hope we get the chance to beat Atletico for you in it… 😉)

Westworld - <em>2016 tv series</em>
Time

SPOILERS for S2xE04…

Forgot to mention I’m very happy Felix and Sylvester are still alive (for now…); some great chemistry and humour in there 😃

 

Really enjoying the music used so far this season too (just like the quality used last season!) - some if it can be found on here:-

https://www.youtube.com/user/WaterTowerWB/featured

and the Season 1 Soundtrack to Westworld is well worth a listen too.

(I hope Ramin gets to work on that Season 5 soundtrack for Person Of Interest soon, though that ship has likely sailed…)

An Index Thread for the Media section…

 
An Index thread to try and help members find information, and links, to just some of the many various Media threads that have originated on the OriginalTrilogy•com down the years…

The Index Categories:-

• MySpleen… (do NOT ask for a MySpleen invite - thank you)
• Film
• Television (including documentaries & specials)
• Music, Soundtracks & Audio (including podcasts)
• Art (and photographs, pictures, memes, gifs etc)
• Books, Comics & Literature
• Games
• Gaming
• Technology

 

If there is a thread in the ‘Media’ section that you’d like to suggest to be added to this Index then please post it below - and which Index Category you think it’s best suited for.

Please also let us know if you see any errors, broken links - or have any other suggestions etc, below too - thanks.
 

 


 

Massive kudos, respect, thanks and many positive waves to yhwx for creating and maintaining his quality & exhaustive ‘Off Topic’ Index thread (back when Off Topic was just one section) - upon which much of this Index is based on - and can still be found here:-

MySpleen… (do NOT ask for a MySpleen invite - thank you)

 

MySpleen (a private torrent site) are not currently issuing invites to their site - and haven’t done so for some time.

No-one here is affiliated with MySpleen, we have nothing to do with MySpleen, we are as much in the dark about this as you - and so we cannot help you with invites or other info.

So please ** DO NOT MAKE A POST ASKING FOR A MYSPLEEN INVITE ** - thank you (we’ve already had hundreds of posts about this - and members’ patience on here is understandably wearing thin).

Any invite requests posted in threads on here will be deleted.
 

This OT•com thread has the current situation in regards to MySpleen (and other private torrent sites too):-

Requesting invites to private torrent sites (i.e. MySpleen) (in Announcements)
 

MySpleen does have its own forum, here - www.myspleen.org/forums

^ The above link to the MySpleen forum is also useful for finding out if / why the MySpleen site itself may be down or not - or for resetting forgotten passwords and other account queries etc. Again, do not ask for help re forgotten passwords or account info on here - we have nothing to do with the running of MySpleen - and so cannot help you.

 

It may be worth be trying some of the other Fan Edit sites around online - info for some of them can be found here - link

Public torrent sites - and also other private torrent sites - may just have that elusive Fan Edit or project too.

Online search engines are also useful for this, and some projects do have their own websites, or other social media channels as well.

Movie Preservation and Home Media: An Opinion

This topic will probably be deleted since there’s no project dicussion of any kind,

No mate, any decent discussion of film, the process, technical aspects etc are encouraged (and always good to see them and other people’s opinions and viewpoints too).

but I feel this is the ideal place to post this so here I go.

Seems a good place to me too.

There are a few more discussion topics listed in the Index for this section of the site too (as well as discussions for unfinished projects and general ideas etc), and a few topics in the ‘Fan Edits of Other Films’ section Index as well, which may be of interest.
