Thank you so much Flygon for all you are doing with publishing of movies and ensuring they get onto Archive.Org for future archival needs. It's definitely a boon to have that option available when no one else is seeding.. or you want the old version to compare to the new one. Also makes it easy to snag all the submissions of a platform for personal archival and not have to worry about 50 billion versions of an emu and the input files. ^^; Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

Uh... well... wow. Thanks. O.O Trust me when I say this, it isn't just me that has been doing all the work, people such as Aktan, OmnipotentEntity, ShinyDoofy among others contribute to this work quite heavily. If I forgot you, please know, I thank you too... good lord, I sound like a 1 billion dollar a year company! And personally? I'm not satisfied with the screenshots I select with the publications, it'd be helpful if viewers suggested frames... That, and I REALLY need to get around to archiving Super Mario RPG. Edit: I just tried to archive it... and it completed... AND I GET THROWN A GIGANTIC 'NO FILE UPLOADED' MESSAGE. And you all wonder why I hate the archive. 3 hours of uploading down the drain, literally. I NEED SOMEONE WITH A 30MBITS PIPE TO ARCHIVE THIS GAME, I AM NOT A PROFICIENT UPLOADER, I NEED HELP!

Thanks wonderfully mate, and also thanks to the person that already added the link. Also, I just realized someone I forgot to thanks, the wonderful man Raiscan. ^_^ klmz, the two screenshots aren't related, sorry to disappoint.

Sounds like an award acceptance speech. Yo Flygon, I'm really happy for you, and imma let you finish, but DeHackEd has some of the best encodes of all time. Some of the best encodes of all time!
<adelikat> I am annoyed at my irc statements ending up in forums & sigs

I'm not surprised, I am not afraid to admit I am a pretty bad encoder, if anything, I am the man least suited for the job. Seriously, has anyone taken a serious look at my connection? It is nearly impossible to upload videos everywhere in a decent amount of time! Sure, you fiber optical boys will see archive.org fail on a 300mb MKV and think 'Oh, I'll just let it run again for 10 minutes, time for a shower!', but I don't have that luxury. If it fails for me, it takes another 3 hours of my life. I'm still very surprised I am a publisher because of that fact/limitation.

Well, no? It depends, I have no life outside of the internet, and I get constantly bugged by the upload, it's just so annoying. It's like a bomb you don't want to go off, and you are stuck next to it. The only thing you can do is wait to see if it goes off or not, sure, you could take a shower, but that only takes off 10 minutes of the bombs time before you have to come out, lest water restrictions reduce your water pressure to a much lower degree. Sure, you could watch some porn, but not even the worlds best man (Lets just ignore the man that managed to fap for 24 hours straight, he scares me) can't last the whole 3 hours needed, unless he seriously wants a case of blue balls. So I am stuck here, in front of this computer, mocked, mocked I say by this devilish website, giving me no escape, laughing in my face. Why must thy devils fruits be the only way for reliable MKV access. ... Sorry if that sounds weird, I have to read Edgar Allan Poe's various short stories in order for school, it's driven me like a madman.
