This will even be easier as I will not have to crack PSC "encryption" on the zip archives too, although provided the "stellar" PSC record it wouldn't surprise me if it's XOR'd "Protected by Ian Ippolito know-how" string or similar strong "academic" approach to the problem with a message too :-))

I've been running the site since 2005, never had a paywall of any sort, and I don't plan on having one as long as I am running the joint. I've never had the lame ass "You must login to see more than 3 posts" BS, either. I'm not in the business of collecting email addresses, and everything on the site is accessible to anyone who looks for it. The only exceptions are specific tools like Ophion (Timetracker), private messaging, and forum posting, which all require some sort of identity to keep data organized, accessible and private (in certain cases).

As I mentioned previously, here and elsewhere, I'm not in it for the money. Rather, I just want to help the world learn. It's why I built the site, and why I continue to give stuff away for free. The disappearance of PSC was a shock to a lot of people, and I feel that I can provide a more modern equivalent, while recovering the "lost" data, as well as providing folks a place to post their new projects and ideas.

You're free to leech it all. People have been leeching from the site for years. Some notes, though:

- gatekeeper scripts that I have built guard against some agent strings. Change the defaults, lest the script bans you. If you really want to duplicate the content, and don't know how to change your agent string, let me know privately, and I can whitelist your IP.

- don't roast my host, please. Keep requests to 1-5 requests per second. Once again, gatekeeper might pick up the activity and ban you anyway, but still, I don't want to get any love letters from the hosting company for supposedly abusing my "unlimited" bandwidth.

If you're not getting any love for getting the ISOs, I'll post the 7 ISOs I have out on the site, or perhaps on some other method (gDrive? OneDrive?) So y'all can get at them.
