Deadlines hooray.

Ooops, looks like wakeupbomb already did this

Edit: actually eLowar is a mod and can just edit our posts

eLowar · 25 September 2006, 19:01

You realize of course that I could delete your post too if I wanted.

Edit: Ah, so you do.

DamienD · 25 September 2006, 19:02

Hahahahaha

You wouldn't be that cruel (would you)???

eLowar · 25 September 2006, 19:13

Nah, if you want certainty you could just quote me in Offtopic or somewhere else I have no rights.

wrong, you can only soft delete them the global mods can revive it

eLowar · 25 September 2006, 19:50

Shhhh, maybe they wouldn't have thought of it.

DamienD · 25 September 2006, 20:01

Interesting...

ilm · 25 September 2006, 20:24

ilm pushes a button with 'Print Screen' on it
problem solved

DamienD · 25 September 2006, 20:36

... then save it this to a .jpg file, host it on http://www.imageshack.us/ and finally paste the link in a post

If your post gets deleted just put the link in a new post again... Continue as necessary

Ok, I'll stop all these OT post now

eLowar · 25 September 2006, 20:57

Good gracious, nobody trusts me.

We will collect money to pay ticket for Fred to visit you.

Scarry enough?

Mclane · 19 October 2006, 17:52

Seriously, any news on MAGE?

wakeupbomb · 24 October 2006, 09:04

I've been known to make use of deadlines to the max.

Gotto go, no time.

LOL...
I reckon you live in the Dr Who Tardis, outside all the rules of time and nature apply to us but inside the laws of time and such mean nothing

Seriously, good luck, glad to see it's still on the go as I was starting to think it was sidelined.

Methanoid · 10 November 2006, 15:13

Now the deadline has been and gone.. is there any news on this frontend? I ask as I was thinking how much I enjoy the relative simplicity of Offlinelist. I don't need to have twenty copies of an Amiga game listed, just ONE that works!

BUT I'd like a multi system database. And I like OLL downloading updated dat files automatically from the net. So perhaps if this came with some DAT file conversion utils it would help people convert their other tools over to this (ie replace their Gamebase, OLL, other renaming/managing tools).

So.. whats happening then?

Belgarath · 11 November 2006, 15:09

Well the topic in the #MAGE channel is...

'eLowar missing: Presumed kidnapped by Aliens and gangprobed |
Update: eLowar has been sighted and is presumed to have alien anal implants

However we have recently had contact (possibly they implanted a radio in his butt as well) where he said he should be back next week, hopefully eLowar will be able to explain more then.

Methanoid · 12 November 2006, 12:10

I guess there is a helluva committment if you REALLY want to do these things. I can see the amount of work GamebaseST team put in to theirs. It seems like Lemonade has stopped (has it) and there isnt really an Active Amiga equiavlent... oh well...

Belgarath · 12 November 2006, 13:16

Work on MAGE has not stopped, it's just slowed down for the moment, I'm sure we'll see something from him soon but I doubt there will be anything major until next year.

I'm still working on GameBase Amiga and there will be a release near Christmas (which will be it's 1 year birthday).
