Star Trek The Official Monthly Magazine #11 is up (scans by Jason, edits by me.)  I'm not interested in hearing any anecdotes of anyone else owning magazines that aren't this exact issue which are in better condition as that's completely irrelevant - the bottom line is, these things remain HELL to edit.  I just started editing an American mag published around the same time in 1996, and it's like apples and oranges - the USA mag doesn't have the halo of brown around the edges that makes editing these ST mags such a bitch, so the editing flies by in comparison.



I hope someone out there besides me appreciates these - they're only 70 page mags, but take 6-7 hours to edit.  :'(

Quote from: kitsunebi on Feb 10, 2025, 03:47 PMJason Scott can't supply anyone with magazine scans if he hasn't scanned any magazines.  People at the VGHF are capable of downloading things from the Internet Archive themselves if they want to and don't need Jason Scott to be involved.
Really? I'm a bit confused now. I remember a year or so ago Frank Cifaldi had previously gave out a shout on Twitter/X Jason Scott for helping with scanned material from Internet Archive. Maybe it was about something else?

You clearly don't get what kitsunebi is alluding to.

Jason Scott AFAIK has NEVER personally scanned anything. He's just a leeching asshat who happens to be their head leeching honcho.

He MAY have passed files from Internet Archive onto VGHF but they are simply someone else's scans that were uploaded to Internet Archive in the first place (with or without the original scanners permission) and VGHF could download the exact same file off the website without his involvement anyway.

Best guess is he wants to make it look like Internet Archive is the source of the files in question when anyone who has been ripped off by their nefarious site scraping schemes knows the real truth only too well ...
