well thats good to know.
it appears that the forums on audiogames.net eventually did come right for me.

Hi Tom.
I know html converting is a somewhat urcsome task, but that would!
help, ---- and btw, if you really! want to see a fantastic
preservation of far more material that was originally sent out on
floppy disks see the list of past eamon magazines the eamon guild site.
Of course, I was equally thinking of new stuff. For example, lets
say someone writes a review of Papasangre2, well it's likely the
developers from somethinelse would like to read it.
I've actually discussed this with Sander, adding a reviews section
to the db for each game rather like the gamefaqs index has, but it'd
unfortunately to quite an overhall of the existing php code that
runs the audiogames.net db.
So, maybe this is something that the audeasy magazine could
contribute, indeed I'm always amazed with how vocal some people are
about given games or subjects they're not willing to formally sit
down and write something reasonable and structured and professional.
Btw, and in case anyone was wondering, the audiogames.net db entries
are not! reviews, they are informational pages intended to provide
detail about a given game and it's good points.
That's one reason it's in the db guidelines to never give negative
comments on a db page, never compare one game to another and be at
least planely descriptive if not actively positive. That's why even
when the db uses the term "symple" it's meant purely descriptively
and not as a cryticism.
Beware the Grue!

Hi Dark,
Thanks. Those do seem like some good ideas. I guess the only question
is content. I guess I can go through the past issues to look for
reviews, articles, and so on and begin converting them into a database
or at least an index with links to each article or review so they are
easy to find. That would be preferable to reading several huge text
files just to find one article or review.
Cheers!

Hi Tom.
While I agree a flashy website with lots of multimedia shenanigans would be
inappropriate for hosting the audeasy magazine, there are various rather
simple things an audeasy site could do.
One example is indexing.
In the past the audeasy magazine was a great big long text document with
everything shoved together. While having it viewable this way in html
wouldn't be a bad thing for reading the different installments, at the same
time it'd be nice to have various indexes and ways of sorting the
information from past magazines so that for example, if a person was looking
for a review of a given game or an article on a given subject they could go
to a "reviews" or "articels" section of the site and get a list of links
there that would directly funnel them via an in page link to the correct
section of the magazine, (I could also add links to individual audeasy
reviews of games to appropriate pages of the audiogames.net database too).
While we're on the subject of articles, the site could also host some
general articles about audio games and audiogaming to answer basic
questions, indeed this is something I've mentioned before.
For example a list of handy links to places of interest, mentions of
landmark games in particular genres for particular platforms, a couple of
basic notes on voice over or web access etc.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
