that should be 'Qboard' not 'Qmap' :D 

hehe, yeah. I remember refreshing headshot's depot over and over the night he promised qboard to go live.

Suddenly it did, and five minutes later I was the bitter, jaded exoskeleton of misguided rage I am today. 

shambler should do it. he's one of the best writers here, so he should at the very least head it up. maybe gracefully accept the assistance of willing contributors.

then elope with the paypal-provided funding, hoping on a flight to mexico, live of the interest and lead a life of "those who can never go back". that's the life were you become best buddies with Jose Cuervo and Ms. Long Island Ice Tea, snorting cocaine off the tits of escort ladies.

aah, yes. shambler should do that. 

someone dropped a 'f' on the carpet here. that was me? sorry. oh, look - a 'p'! hah. 

and then they'll make a movie with Al Pacino called "Shambler".

BTW, that maybe look like standard gothic fare but IMHO it gets it right rather than looking pseudo-goth. 

aah, yes. shambler should do that.

it'd be worth it just to get the miserable bastard out of the country once and for all :P

Anyone know of an audio-ripping program for Mac or cross-platform? I've searched, but what I've come across rips audio coming only from the Mac (streaming, dvd, cd, etc etc)...

The thing I am wondering about is I need to capture audio that is coming from my keyboard synth through an optical/digital line to my studio monitors... which are hooked up to my Powerbook through L/R RCA - I'm wondering if it's possible to capture audio going through different lines.

I finished a song and am going to upload it... and some time ago I'd offered to work on music for anyone that needed it in a mod or something, so this would be my example. I could save it as .WAV in the keyboard itself except I need to pickup a 256MB DIMM... probably tomorrow. 

I found something.. I was able to rip it, only it didnt sound as good as it plays, so I tried different configurations with the cables.. didnt rip, couldnt remember what I originally did, tried everything possible.. wont rip... still open to any suggestions anyone may have... 

Just gather up all the people from Qboard that you can find, so that the group can get drunk and complain about today's younglings while talking about the good ol' days. Should be a nice, large group of bitter old bastards by now. Fairly old anyway. 

Get a fucking PC! That might help! :D 

I have been trying to make a collection of DM maps from peekaboom's website and every link that goes to cdrom.com is dead. I checked site itself and it looks like a sharware graveyard...wtf happened? 

Not every bitter bastard from the QBoard days is old. 

Is that a baby goose or something? 

That's an idea I've had a while ago, but maybe in a different format. I thought it would be cool to just have a timeline, with events like map releases etc on it. Zoomable, scrollable, and fully dynamic in a wiki-like style, so that everybody could add and edit events.

One could easily add interviews and articles to that idea. 

Try ftp.gamers.org - they seem to be pretty much what cdrom.com used to be. 

ftp.gamers.org has a good amount of the cdrom stuff, but it's not complete and is missing some of the maps (i've had the full archive of dm and sp maps downloaded for sometime and it's missing a few of the peekaboom reviewed maps).

anouther suggestion is to use google to search for the mapname.zip files. I've found a ton of older, rarer maps on this way. 

Not every bitter bastard from the QBoard days is old.

But they're still all bitter bastards.

What The Fuck Is A Youngling?

Blame George Lucas, not me. 

Ill give that a try it really is a shame whats happening to all the old quake sites. There were times over at peek's site I would swear someone was actively removing links. Id be in the middle of a download, then all of a sudden it would stop and all the previously working links are now dead. Creepy shit at 2AM... 

is there a main site where I can sign up? 

ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/games/PC . It's got much of the old ftp.cdrom.com. No password required. 

-nt- 

Well I got farther there than at the other site, but still once I get into any of the folders that actually contain files I either get a bunch of gibberish, or the password prompt. Sucks to be me...I did manage to get alot of the maps off peek's site and some addtional maps from the working authors sites. So much of what has been done seems to be fadin away. 

You shouldn't get a password requirement from this:

Im getin the strafin series, as I type. Many thanks to all!
