YAY!!!!! *applauds*

Not only is the pending queue nearly empty, but a news item got posted by Nick Disabato!

And I wondered where those pigs got their wings from... :D

Wow--it seemed so natural seeing "Posted by Nick on..." that I didn't even notice.

I did! Well, it was the style of the writing that made me think it was Nick... then I looked at the name of who wrote it.

Well, I've been around long enough that Nick's style seems normal and other articles just seem weird.

If the articles are weird, what about the posts?
It's a perpendicular cabbage, my good man.
Wurble Wurble Sclup.

Huh? :)

yeah, same here.
MV writes, well, ...differently :)

Ya got that right :) I think Nick has more a sense of humor in his writing.

thats cuz MV has no sense of humor... jk

Exactly; MV makes the news sound very formal...not a criticism, of course.

I had subtle puns in two news articles...not completely humorless.

Ah yeas. Thank you for all the support you guys. We are going to do our best at keeping pending as low as we can. I personally would like it to take no longer thana day to add a program after its upload. With two of us this shouldn't be any problem.

Now would be a good time to restate an idea that I previously stated. I am working on adding screenshots to many of the files in the archives. If you would like to see my progress, take a look in these folders.

http://www.ticalc.org/pub/86/asm/games/

Plus all of the level folders in that directory. Anyway they all have screenshots. I am looking for help on this task. I doubt there would be anyone out there that would want to help, but if you just want to take one directory or something it would be greatly appreciated. I am especially looking for help in the 83 and 83+ section of the archives.

Contact me if you want to help and I can set up up with the proper materials, pretty simple once you get started.

Could we add screenshots to our own programs? How could we go about doing that? Would we just update the program with the screeshot bar filled in with a gif file?

Yes! That is the method of uploading screenshots, and if for some reason you don't want to upload them, or don't want your files to appear on the front page just send them to me.

If anyone would like to help contact me on AIM, Morgazum85, and we can work something out.

Is there any way we can delete our own screenshots? Some of mine are from version 1.2 and I'm up to version 2.1, with all 6 screenshot slots filled.

whoops, should have read the next message...

Perhaps there is a reason, such as not filling up the servers with useless gifs, but would it be possible to provide perhaps 6 screenshot spaces instead of 4?

Do you NEED that many? :)

Depends on the program...take Crono Fantasy for ex. it would be cool to see the different enviorments. BTW does any one have a hint list or walk-through 'cause I'm stuck.

I shouldn't say this, nut there are files with even more than 6. When you epdate a program, you can add more .gif's and the others won't be deleted. I do however wish that you keep the ount down. I will not be adding motr than 5 or 6 to a page.
