Misc. Icons and Pics - Page 6

A long time ago, someone (I didn't save who), did a mod of the XM-60 Silaceous Cored Armor prototype.

Recently a declassified paper on it has shown up on DTIC here:

And it includes results of test firings.

Is this icon database available to the public like the old one was?

If you wish to add stuff here or in your own thread feel free oragus

I am just curious. I lost all of my work that I have done over the years and have been trying to track some of it down that I may have posted. I have gotten most I have posted here already, but I know there are more out there. The PC and external hard drive back up I had both have failed. I don't have $1200 to get the PC hard drive and/or external hard drive repaired and data extracted from it right now. I remember I thought it was Mark that had a site that I posted on as well back in the day. That was why I was asking.

What specifically is the problem? Describe it in as much detail as you can possible.

Yeah, I tried a wiki-based icon database for a bit -- I eventually deleted it from my website, because I didn't secure it well enough and spammers were using it to post porn and other unsavory things on it; and I went "YIKES" and nuked it.

I have a lot of stuff saved though. Let me start an Oragus thread.

Ah sorry - I misunderstood.

Yes I believe Mark(Sheppard) does have a site still and it is available (here:http://www.alternatewars.com/Games/SP/SPanthers.htm)

Unsure how much of the Icon database still exists - I know he was trying /thinking of resurrecting it.

No worries. Thank you.

The database was similar to Wikipedia. Any one could contribute. I remember seeing a Panther with a 75L100 main gun on there. It was developing nicely.

Just like if anyone can still access the old Yahoo groups, can you point me to those. I have tried what I remember and no luck logging in. I know there are icons on there too.

About a year ago, I went on a deep trawl of the surviving Yahoo groups I had access to, and saved what I could.
