You need to own all the books outside the current volumes (They are 30, 31 and 32 (yet to be published). So if you want access to Vol 20 you need to own Volumes 1 to 29. You get more access to the books though over time as that section will also house the Visual Data Files and any new translations to very rare items, e.g. the Tikemaga when it goes up. In future access to the chapter scanlations ast they appear also will require access to the back volumes. That will be approx 2 months after the release of Volume 32.

While the idea that someone might take a picture with someone else's collection is a possibility it's something that for the most part is unlikely to happen. Bare in mind there are like 4 different version of Kadakowa books, special editions, along with the SC version of the same volumes and VIZ and Chang Yi collections. So if there suddenly is a spree of people with the exact same mixes collections that have all the same shame shades (spines of books do fade in sunlight), well it is relatively easy to spot.

The other thread in this section of the forum answers that.

One of the best action movies I've seen in a long time. Loved the fights and gun fights in it.

Honesty by a mile is the best policy. I find it a lot of effort to lie to people, but never use honesty to be cruel to people. "I honestly think you look like drenn" is not something you should ever tell a person unless you're a complete ass.

This morning, Weetabix with milk.

I'm not having that issue, but I don't use add blocking software. if you do try disabling or exception this site.

Hmm this has me thinking of dinner.... tacochips is doing good at the mo Or maybe southren fired chicken????

I was thinking a thread, that way it's easier to police. As if someone uses someone elses picture the orginal owner is very quickly going to realise "hey that's my books that freek is pretending to own!!!" and report it. There is also nothing really private being shown, books and a post it of a username so I can't see why it'll need to be behind a PM. It's also self serving that way as we are showing as a community that while we might be viewing scanlations, we are all owners of the books so we're deserving of translations. So the chances of us ever being closed down is unlikely.

We want a system for you and I to prove that we're fans and deserve access to the scanlations. The easier method is the better, I'm thinking of is the following. Take a picture of your book shelf and put a post-it / bit of paper with your messageboard username on it with your books / book. If you want to also appear in the picture that is fine too but the important thing is showing that you own the books. That is it, the camera shy can hide behind the camera if they want. All we want to see is a note with your name in the picture and your Guyver books.

This weekend I plan on pushing through updates for this board and the old 2005 Archive board. There may be a little down time but it shouldn't last more than 30 minutes or so.

Susage and eggs in white bread with butter and tomato sauce. It was evilly nice for a Friday breakfast! Remember it is FRIday

You lucky........... If that was my only complaint as a Guyver fan I'd not have many Thanks guys and Jess. I'm hoping it'll make us all as a Guyver community better.

Given all the tech and bio-weapons in the end it's a very human story. You have heros and villans and the lines between them gets blurred and interesting. Yet if I get all tech nerdy there is plenty for me to focus on with data files etc. It's probably the most complete story I've ever read or followed and now after 23 years of it I'm still very much into it (though have had on and off periods over the years). Hopefully I'll be able to read the end of it but don't want it to be a rushed ending either.

Guyver1 I've liked to many people today and have to wait until tomorrow to like that post! Whoho!.

http://warriorguyver.com/starsguyverpage/doujinshi/maxfactory.htm It's being a while since I looked for these and can't find anything on them (if there is a post somewhere I couldn't find it). With updating my site this weekend I'm hoping I can find more of these one page comics that came with the old Max Factory models. In total I know there are 7 of them at least, possibly more. In total I've seen 6. Does anyone here know of the or have the others and be willing to share it please?

Explains why you're the "Banned User"

Playing devil’s advocate here so please don't take this personally Cannibal if it comes off a little harsh.... There are limits to what a community can do. Simply put Guyver predates EReaders by a LONG time. So anyone now thinking "ohhh I need to buy the books to update my collection" and then buys them for an e-reader and is trying to prove they own old school copies of Viz or Chang Yi works don't really match up. I think we should simply ignore ereader and simply leave it old school. It's simpler to manage. It is the person that needs to prove to Japan Legend that they are a fan, not the other way around. Kock off / self printed book I don't know anyone who'd logically think "oh I'll save 15 euro on a book to my door and then go through the effort and cost of trying to a find the book on-line and b printing the fecking thing and cutting into book shape and colour printing a cover and then binding the pages to fake it. I'd give up part way and say "smegg it, I'll just buy the book"..... The vast majority of fans here have probably being invested in Guyver since the late 1990's to 2005/6. So most if any if they really did buy books, would have bought paper copies, if they didn't.... well time to support the hobby and keep Takaya writing!

One member of the Advocacy has left, yes it is the key member but I remember Jess saying something about someone else who also helped out with translations. If the former other memebers of that group are still around then maybe reform the group. The group could still keep the old name, can't see why you need to re-invent the wheel there. Would also be interesting to hear from others that could meet the criterial of owning either in English or Japanese all the books. But do they consider it something they should do and would if it gave them more access to current chapters?

Because the moment that member lost + access as they don't own Book 32 they'll get it if they want Book 33's content. Yes, it involves a little bit of trust, but unless the person is collector they don't make the grade anyway. It's easy enough to mange forum wise. you've 3 sections 1) Current Chapters Content (e.g. Book 32). To get this you must a) be part of the previous pledge system (this expires after book 32) or b) have a large amount the Guyver books after the Viz / Chang Yi books and own a full collection of either English published comics / books. If you don't but you do own book 31 and a all other Japanese relased volumes you get access to this section. 2) Previous full book (currently Book 31) Access to this requires you OWN book 31 and can prove it to the admins / mods / community. 3) The back catolog: Access to this requires that you own EVERY released book and by default makes it a lot easier to get access to the above. I know for people new to Guyver this is a lot to ask... but if you're new to Guyver go watch the 2005 and learn to use ebay / amazon to buy the content needed to prove you're a fan. Each time you have a new volume released you simply reset access to forum 2 and prune people from forum 1. Forum 3 access would rarely change and I can't see anyone who earned that access NOT buying the current books as their OCD wouldn't allow it. But again, a little bit of people management and again people can lose access to that section whenever a new volume is released if they where not members of forum 2. This is kinda fair as while current content and back catolog access requires you own every previous book you can access to the last volume by simply showing that you own that book (which is about as generious as we should ever be). Freeloaders can go to whomever for "free" content. But at least this model leaves things so we're policing ourselves. The thing I like about the community here is we support Guyver. If you want access to JL's work, it's simple prove you're a fan and deserve access to the content. As before be strict, if you're found to be sharing content to freeloaders, bye bye.

Ok... after seeing that without an add blocker it is pretty annoying. If you want to disable the wiki here so you no longer need to manage I could transfer the whole DB to my site and give Mirablis all the access he needs to offer an add free experince.

With the info transfered I can't see why not.

I don't think it's really fair to expect people to own Book 32 to get Book 32's translated content. You can quite easily see if someone owns books 8 to 31 or 1 to 31 of the books that they are a Guyver collector and would be serious about getting book 32. In saying that, once Book 32 went up for retail, if you don't own it and have a pic with it tough luck for Book 33's content. FYI even though my sister who lives in Japan bought me book 31 (she normally gets them for me) I bought a second copy yesterday to prove a point on price of a single book (I'll use it anyway for scans or most likely will trade it with XtroGuyver for a transfomrer toy, eithers good for me there is no such thing as a wasted Guyver book in my collection!). Which worked out roughly 11 UKP or 15 Euro in current exchange rates. If people don't like that as a once a year cost then they are visiting the wrong Guyver site for translations.

You've my condolences Kenji, at least now she's at rest and no longer suffering.
