Thanks Elder for the post with the old gifts, and thanks PA for permission to post them, I quite enjoyed the ones I had missed; particuarly the US/THEM one.

Darn, I was hoping you'd have those first ones.

I lost them all in a HD crash, been wanting them ever since

Dog · March 2003

Who did the one of G&T and the FF?

WizToast · March 2003

Is she about to get fruitfucked?

Spanner · March 2003

She?

ElderCat · March 2003

He is talking about the PA crew poster... yup thats what it looks like. And I have no idea, it just said pa fan art.

mothman · March 2003

that yard one is sweet

Schlock · April 2003

Wasn't there another "Saved Games with Father Ward" comic given out to Club PA members? I remember that one because I meant to donate that month but forgot until it was too late. Anyone have that around?

I'd be more concerned with Gabe's head in that anime-eqsue one...

Damn you are right,I checked my records and it was a double gift for the month of june 2002, this was one of the few unfortunate gifts that were hosted on PA instead of being sent out as a zip file, the link WAS

That seems to be down,... did anyone save it?

futility · April 2003

since a month has gone by, shouldn't something new go up now?

ElderCat · April 2003

Lets see... its April, so the December gift should go up now.

Sure.

ElderCat · April 2003

God bless you, Father Ward.

skyknyt · April 2003

And if you'll remember...

Several Club members wrote in to tell me that the Father Ward comic they received was funnier than the one on the site, to which I reply, well, yes. That was quite by design.

Dog · April 2003

Who drew this one? interesting style...

Bobo · April 2003

There's some nasty jpg compression in some of those, yikes!

The worst victims are the fruitfucker and the yard wallpapers ... were they resized or compressed or anything? And if so, anyone got the originals?

ElderCat · April 2003

they were sent to me as .bmp so uh.. they were over 2 megs...... yeah.. I do have the origionals but ... THEY ARE OVER 2 MEGS.. EACH! If you have an email that can accept file attachments up to 3 megs let me know and I will email them to you.

wossName · April 2003

How well does PNG compression work on them ? Or maybe Ramius could throw the originals onto the PA webserver and post the links here ?

Edit:
I just tried it on the Samus picture (of which I have the BMP), and it shrunk by more than 60%, not too shabby. It might work even better on the other ones, since the coloring is a lot simpler.

If someone has the originals, PNG compression would be awesome...

Bobo · April 2003

I have a filedrop, so if you want me to host the originals, I can do that ... ftp info is

ftp: messikan.com
login: steve@messikan.com
pass: filedrop

Once they're there, I can move them to a steady host (i.e. not the file drop

) and everyone can access them there. Gimmie a holler if anything goes wrong!

ElderCat · April 2003

Sorry that took so long, all three bmps are uploaded to your ftp

ffwall.bmp
yardwall.bmp
samus2.bmp

wossName · April 2003

Very nice, thanks ! I hope you don't mind that I added PNG versions of the images, the savings for the FF and yard wallpapers are substantial, should be easier on your bandwidth.

BTW, is there a BMP version of the poster ?

Bobo · April 2003

Okay, everything can be accessed via http:

http://www.messikan.com/~steve/samus2.bmp
http://www.messikan.com/~steve/yardwall.bmp
http://www.messikan.com/~steve/ffwall.bmp

If there's anything else, feel free to drop em in

I've also uploaded some old prizes I have. Oddly enough, I remember the guys / girls / others pics being much higher quality when I got them, but they somehow ended up converted and really horribly compressed somehow. If anyone has the originals, I'd be much obliged, because I love the pics!

Good point, my bandwidth is getting raped

DOH,... yes there is, it was in its own folder, here:

http://www.messikan.com/~steve/posterwall.bmp

Man those cast photos are cool thanks!!!

EDIT:Sigh... its in the wrong folder, it will work as soon as it is moved I guess.

Bobo · April 2003

It's all good now, link works

skyknyt · April 2003

Bless you you kind folks!

skye

Spanner · April 2003

Might I recomend that this thread be replaced with one containing links and perhaps thumbnails? I've gotta think that these posted pictures can't be kind to somone's bandwidth.

ElderCat · April 2003

I have unlimited bandwidth... its practically the only thing I use aol for these days: cheap image hosting.

Älphämönkëy · April 2003

I have unlimited bandwidth, and essentiall unlimitied space, but Bobo is doing a good job with file drop.So its all good.

hmm...it would be nice to have the pages in one place...I have all the e-mails but I'd have to sort through them..

stealthpenguin · May 2003

Ahh, sorry. I got all of OE in Feb (kinda why I joined then) so I didn't know.

I'd say we don't post OE, since its kinda too cool or something
