Would be really funny if Microsoft did some sort of self destruct thing disguised as a final XP update. Of course some vital industry still stubbornly clinging to using XP in their systems would implode, and mass chaos would ensue...
That "vital industry" is the USG. Not kidding.

BuzzFeed list does admirable job of encapsulating the qualities of upstate NY. It honestly makes upstaters seem . . . pitiable. Nonetheless useful for understanding.
I love Upstate NY.
It's a multi-generational family tradition of ours to stay each year at: http://www.ripvanwinklemotorlodge.com/
I miss the Catskill Game Farm. :-(

SO again, good luck to you on that, and put me down for a copy when finished, will it be bonus only to be a companion to the retail BD?
Good question! I haven't decided yet.
The "main feature" would be the rip of the "The Making of Escape From L.A. – Snake is Back" HBO special.
I've been thinking about doing an extras-packed BD for Escape From L.A.
Most of the extras would come from here: http://www.theefnylapage.com/videos.htm
The BD is bare-bones.

dark_jedi: I'd love the 2.0 digital PCM track from the Escape From L.A. LD! Has he ripped that?
Actually we were thinking on getting it but I thought there would be no interest, is the BD audio F'd up on that as well?
There's probably nothing wrong with it. I just hate relying on my player to downmix 5.1 to 2.0.

Well, what I'm looking for are the original '77 mixes (whatever the best current preservations of them are) encoded in DTS-HD MA format.
schorman13's preservation of the digital '77 stereo mix is fantastic. h_h is currently working on it, IIRC.

Most people associate THX with quality
Most people don't know WTF THX is.
And those who do– myself included, of course –realize that THX is a crock of shit.
The Sony DADC USA Laserdisc Pressing Plant was "THX Certified". We all know how good that turned out...
I've yet to find a copy of the THX Willow LD that doesn't have rot. I have three and they're rotted-to-hell.
Would anyone here be interested in a Special Edition of Jethro Tull's A Passion Play?
There are a number of portions I want to remove (e.g., The Story Of The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles); a number of portions where I believe the drums could use a little more "kick"; and a number of portions where I believe it'd be better to have Ian's voice a bit more isolated – almost acapella, but not quite.
I have lossless copies (FLAC) of every unique unremasted and remastered CD release, but I'll probably use whichever one has the most dynamic range.

1 thing I am going to do this time is when I see the snatches get higher then the seeders I am going to contact a MOD or Admin over there and see if we can see who the members are, other torrent sites show you this info, well I know I would really want to see who is hit and running and then we can see what can be done, as of now there is 6 snatches and 5 seeders so we will see.
damn I really hate torrents, but I hate file share sites even more, those would be OK if they were not so expensive and were trustworthy.
Usenet is still the best IMO.
Did you get a chance to see if I'm listed as connectable?
Where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday?
dark_jedi said:
Quite slow? are you fracking kidding me? Spleen and my torrent client shows 5, there will be 6 once I jump back on, I just started this at around 7:30 PM last night, it also looks like there will be another seeder very soon and there are over 5 members at over 50% so you say this is SLOW! wow.
I can't help if members do not know how to set up their torrent client correctly.
Am I currently listed as connectable? I was uploading at 500KB/s last night, IIRC.
I can't access MySpleen from work, so I can't check.
DoomBot said:
Is this going to hit spleen soon rather than later?
Looking forward to this.
A BD25 would kill my MySpleen ratio and it's pretty good at ~7.5:1.
I'm looking forward to the Usenet upload.
Impressive work, Ady!
It's back up! Unfortunately, we lost some members as well. :-(

A little update on what's going on would be nice...
ProBoards has no backups for us, unfortunately. We were too new to be entered into their backup cycle.
ww12345, thankfully, had been keeping a text file with all of the hyperlinks that people were posting, so we have that at least.
I managed to grab a copy of the Terms of Use/Rules from Google's cache of the Welcome Board.
That's about it. We're going to re-open tonight and start fresh. :-(

How about some simple ASCII Art? http://pastebin.com/P2hSsk5x
You mean for the NFO? if so that is perfectly fine with us, we just need some kind of template because I know for me I am not real good at wording these things but surely would like to include one for informational purposes, but yes that would be fine, hell I think that is all NFO's can use anyways right? I am not real sure.
Thanks
I misunderstood. I should have read the OP more closely.
I'll start researching what kind of information is best to include.

ProBoards has suffered a minor database failure that resulted in the loss of several forums, including AMPS. We're working on restoring what we can from memory while waiting to hear back about ProBoards' backup(s). We're sorry for the inconvenience. We'll be back up as soon as possible!

William Shatner's cover of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is hilariously bad.

Keep on him, he takes some poking sometimes. I find actual phone calls work better than emails.
Oh, no. I'm giving him lots of time to breathe. I don't want to rush him.
He does excellent work. He has just suffered some major setbacks recently.
