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! 

I do have a PC.. it's a 7 year old desktop.. I bought the Powerbook for reliability. 

Alright... again, here's something to listen to for anyone that may need custom music for their mod. This is my first demo... I'm capable of more musical stuff, but this song reminds me of the Quake 1 soundtrack. When I started it I didn't have any influences consciously... subconsciously NIN. Being my first attempt it's probably decent, but I'll get better.

it was encoded at 128kbps to save on file size. And the percussion-like sound that comes in at 00:08 is actually my guitar. 

It's not my idea of music, but you may like to check this out, it's by evillair, a Quake3, mapping/texture dude gone pro type person

Your thing was ok, and yes, you'll only get better if you keep at it. What's the chance of any 'real' music, as opposed to ambient/games stuff? 

Angel Fire doesn't let people keep mp3s on their server. It saves them worrying about copyright hassles. Try uploading it as a .mp3.bin. You'll probably need a new site to do that, I suspect that account has been narked. 

-grumble-

Abyss, there will be more musical stuff... I'm not sure when. 

when my site is up ( it goes up and down rather unpredictably atm ) I can give you access to my FTP account and you can upload it to Signs Of Koth. I don't have any limitations on content because my hosting is basically a favour provided by the nice guys at my local internet cafe; as long as it isn't dozens of megs, you can park it next to my stuff.
Just a thought. 

I'm only offering 'cause I'd really like to hear anything ambiently Quake-like :)
