Yes. Should be posted in about a week.

w00t!

I found several people who were interested in finishing the work which so many of us had started. And it looks like we are FINALLY nearing completion. Soon there will be a full run of the pre-Acclaim Valiant issues scanned and available in CDisplay format. Are these scanned at high enough ...

neutron bomb go off and wipe out only steve's messages???did he take his things and go home or what??

No.

Yes.

:-)

I'm too new to get involved in all the politics and all the *SQUEE*.

I still just wanna find a full pre-Acclaim run on EBay for a good price. LOL!

I also do NOT agree that a ...

Either that or he just wants to sue us for scanning stuff.

Heheheh.

As best I can determine, the following is the comprehensive list of the missing issues. Please note: I have included some Acclaim issues, even though I will be archiving them separately.

Bloodshot 25-35, 38-40, 42-48, 50, 51, & Last Stand
Deathmate Blue, Yellow, Red
Eternal Warrior 35, 38, 39, 41 ...

Im still scanning those missing pages for you. and will upload as soon as i can dude

That's cool man. All I need are the scanned pages. I can repair the archives myself as long as I have the pages. Just makes sure you scan at the same resolution that the original scan is at, otherwise there may ...

...someone messaged me a while back advising that a few of the Harbinger scans were corrupt and that they were going to upload "fixed" versions. But I deleted that PM in error and can't remember who it was. :oops:

Will the real "Harbinger fixer upper" please stand up? Please reply here or message ...

That raises a few questions for me Greg.

Which variant issues are the rarest? Gold? Silver? Pink?

How many TPB's were published. Variants?

Is the Solar hardback edition of Alpha/Omega the only hardback which Valiant published?

Is anyone at all interested in helping us complete the scan collection by providing fills for any of the missing issues? If not, then I am going assume there is no further interest and let this thread die after this post.

Those of you who asked for FTP access, I have done my best to reply via PM ...

Ok. Here's where we are with scans at this time.

I'm going to focus this stage of the project on putting together full runs of the pre-Acclaim titles. Once we have finished with those, then we can turn our attention to the Acclaim runs.

The titles we really need help with are...

Geomancer ...

While I do like the scanned books concept, I have a bad feeling on this one. MAD magazine was the first one to do this for more profit and I bought into it. Like $50 for the whole run on CD. Can't beat it. Well except for free! Can you say Comicnabster! Yep, I need to create a site.

And the very ...

That's not legal... it's just a question of IF and WHEN Marvel will do something about it.

Greg is right. The ethics of scanning books and making those scans available to others (I'm referring here ONLY to out-of-print books) can and will be debated. After all, they ARE only scans and not the ...

Hey graybola...could you upload any of those that I don't have to my server?

Any link to this "patch" of which you speak? Or will Windows Updater find it automatically [insert highly doubtful tone-of-voice]?

Ummm. Let's see. Did it work?

YES! There's my badass Bloodshot avatar!

Thanks for the photobucket tip Jaknife!

photobucket.com excellent hotlinking site. i plan on trying that soon.

Excellent Jaknife...thanks!

I'm assuming they parse the urls "normally" so they can be linked to externally?

And by the way...phpBB does support the local storage of avatars and external uploading. I know because I use it on ...

...and I cannot figure out how to use a 'customized' avatar! So I'm stuck here. I have bee-you-tee-ful Bloodshot and Ninjak avatars which I made my very own self and I wanna use them! So who do I have to blow? LOL!

ahh some of it was ok (Bloodshot, Shadowman)... but to get the whole collection.

Yeah. I know what it's like to be a "completist". It's an obsession sometimes. :-)


Hell, I started 10 months ago and am down to one book. Not too bad. Lots of GREAT folks on the Boards here have helped me out ...

Oh. You need the "real" book eh? Sorry. Couldn't help ya there. After Acclaim took over, I dropped the books like a hot rock. Bad? Heheheh. Not the word for it.

Hey, thanks--FTP should be just fine. Just let me know the log in and pass. Cool name. I'm from Indianapolis (as is Bob Layton) and I had jokingly said I was going to start a website called www.hoosierdaddy.com and sell t-shirts that said that and hoosiermama and hoosierbaby (baby-doll T's) etc ...

Got that one on my server. My how the mighty had fallen by that time.

Ok, Anyone willing to just burn a CD of scans for a tired, old Executive Editor so that he won't have to screw around with all the file-sharing? I'll cover shipping and the cost of the disc...I actually have a great many books in digital form from when they were being scanned and passed around in ...

OIC.

Crap! Oh well. Is there a better way to spread the joy than FolderShare? Bueller? Anyone?

the app is platform dependant...non-windoz users are out of luck...

True. CDisplay is native to Winhoes. But that does NOT mean others are "out of luck". The cbr and cbz files are nothing more than rar files whose file extensions have been changed to cbr or cbz. All they have to do is change the ...

I have quite a few VH2 scans that I can add to this but I just dont know how to get them to you. Also have gobs of other stuff all needing CDisplay to view them.

You can 'get them to me' by setting up a library on FolderShare and PM'ing me here when you're done. Then I'll add you to my library ...
