  1. 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.

  3. Guyver1 I've liked to many people today and have to wait until tomorrow to like that post! Whoho!.
  4. 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?
  5. Explains why you're the "Banned User"
  6. 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!
  7. 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?
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. With the info transfered I can't see why not.
  11. 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.
  12. You've my condolences Kenji, at least now she's at rest and no longer suffering.
  13. Yes, it's your fault and Paul's I got back into collecting Transformers.....
  14. The Guyver Information Page is going to replace the Stars Guyver Page on the front page of the website. Here at the important points for the new site to live up too: 1) People new to Guyver/ the site and that aren't going to know about Stars Guyver Page. That site has being down since 2002 and hosted here since 2003. Calling the site Guyver Information Page is simple and removes confusion. 2) The old website and the current Stars Page run by me hasn't being updated in a long time and doesn't even have info about the 2005 anime. This needs to be fixed. 3) The Fan-Fiction in the re-write is going to re-align with the 2005 Anime and Guyver comics. Having the Guyver Information Page helps make it clearer where the lines between the Fan-FIction and the offical Guyver stories differ. 4) It will help populate the Character Profiles section of the WG-Fic site with the offical characters. Note: This section of the site is open to anyone who wants to help put up offical info about Guyver.
  15. Update on this. Roughly once every 3 or 4 months I notice a new Robot / Spider on the board that is totally new and brings with it soemthing like 30 to 40 guests as it probes the board until I add it to the Robot list. If I disable it that would basically stop the board showing up on search engines. As it's more of an annoyance it's not an option to do that.
  16. The Links section has being updated.
  17. Yup, think that was it, try now.
  18. remove/hide the magna viewer with the first 30 tanks already translated aswell and you may be able to restore the forum as it was before until such time things are thought through. . That shouldn't be needed (taking down what is basically "free" content. As said before the most they'd do about those would be ask for the scanlations to be taken down. If it bothered them. The likelyhood they didn't know of this site after 10 odd years is unlikely. It would be worse though if JL had full Japanese scans up, that would probably pee them off even more that having translated content. The main thing I'd recommend is making the section of the board that has anything to do with this topic for members only (not visitors) and for people who can show they own a Guyver collection (more so books). Aside from that update any webpages that hold scanlations so that google and other robots / spiders don't read them. E.g https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93710?hl=en Don't make things obovious, and please hide / move into a new section of the forum this and other topics like it that don't pop up on Google or are viewable by visitors. The rest of the forum can continue on as normal. Call it something like the Guyver Collectors Corner (you most likely know something cooler Jess) and people who are fans see the content. A simple less I've learned: Less is more, don't give a) the troll more than he/she needs and b) don't make it simple for people outside this site visiting to know everything.
  19. The first changes to this section will be happening this Sunday. Chronicles and Twlight Guyver will move into this section of the website while Psi-Guyver, Warrior Guyver 2 and Faye's character stories will move into the Warrior Guyver Fic section.
  20. Wonder Boy on the good old fashioned 20p coin up Arcade Machine.
  21. SPOILER for those who read the books but havent got beyond book 30! Given the events of recent books it's looking more like this is Imakarum. More so because Alkanphel (who is more like a moopy teeen) was in the same pallen as Apollon and well Apollon has being shown to have a somewhat close relationship with the Isle of Shiela. So it's about 95% sure that they are the same guy, but Takaya could still yet pull a "oh you thought it was that! Naaa!". But with Revenge's rewrite coming up I'll still be playing safish with this and focusing more on Alkanphel and Jason's relationship this time around and something else.
  22. Thanks Cannibal, I've being looking for something Guyver related decent to add to the links section for awhile
  23. Let me know how it goes, I'll be updating the forum this weekend as part of the 11th of Oct update. Will test things out properly then after the update (they tend to reset some settings or add new ones each time I do one).
  24. Hi McAvoy, James and I have tested this and it seems to be working fine.
  25. Good news. WarriorGuyver.com and japan-legend.com and not exactly merging but we're working a little more closely together. The Guyver Wiki from Japan Legend and the Guyver Information Page will be merging. The process will start this Sunday. This is good news as having a proper Info page and a supporting Wiki hosted on WG.com will make it better for fans to find out offical info about the Guyver without having to look too hard and also helps with fan-fics in that you'll a lot easier know who is an offical character and who isn't. Overall it should be a good project for me to take up and be nice for our website as well as theres. Edited 09/10/15
