bugbiter Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 It's the first time I'm in the competition. What's happening next? Do we members get floppies with the entries with the next magazine issue? Or will there be downloads? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hello bugbiter The software will be put on the next magazine issue. But it can take a while before we get those. Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Adam+ Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 And also ATR's will be available to download from ABBUC page (for registered members). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 And also ATR's will be available to download from ABBUC page (for registered members).When will the atrs become available for my judgement? If not how much does the membership cost per year? I like the minecraft game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookt Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I finally bit the bullet and sent a membership request a few days ago. The fact that the magazine is in German and my German is rusty to say the least had always put me off before, but so many English speakers have recommended membership I decided to go for it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I don't know German too but I am glad to support ABBUC. Another good reason to subscribe are floppy disks: when I receive them I turn on my disk drives! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmilo Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I like the minecraft game! Thanks, hope you'll have fun playing it. Much more should be in it compared to what's in the latest video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I finally bit the bullet and sent a membership request a few days ago. The fact that the magazine is in German and my German is rusty to say the least had always put me off before, but so many English speakers have recommended membership I decided to go for it. Yep, we had requests (or spoken thoughts) several times, that we should create at least one Abbuc issue per year (or more issues) in english language or even create the whole (paper+disk) magazine in german and english... well, it did never happen... I am trying to have the Abbuc magazine disks of the software contest at least available in english, with english texts and descriptions of all the ASC programs on the diskettes (and the german translations on the paper-magazine). This is much easier and a lot less work, because I only have to translate the few programs with german-only descriptions (but believe me, my german-english translation skills are not very good). Let`s see if that works again this year (and I hope that the programs with german-only descriptions do not have very long texts)... of course it also depends on the size of all the programs, since we want to have the programs on as few disks as possible (the disks have to be duplicated 400 times)... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Adam+ Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 If not how much does the membership cost per year? 31.20 EUR (2.60 per month) http://www.abbuc.de/abbuc/impressum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 So for 31 euros you get a magazine and a disc with the games and support the system. I will see. Thanks for the responses. My disc drive is somewhere around here...This would be the only reason to ever use the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Hello Jinks I usually round that up to € 32 to cover part of the extra shipping costs the ABBUC has to pay because I don't live in Germany. Sincerely Mathy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunsen Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 The more ABBUC gets international members the more ABBUC is getting an international club. I think ABBUC has a lot of german members aged 60+. These members usually don't speak English very good. But these members are getting less (because of losing interest, becoming ill, etc.). And on the other side the portion of international members who don't speak German is growing. Pro© Atari is an positive example that it is possible to release a fanzine in German and in English language. Only about 10 persons are doing this great job (and I think all of the are members of ABBUC!!). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could help if it's just the lack of translators that has prevented it from happening. I have to publish my work both in English and German, so I'm quite used to writing/translating stuff in both languages. F. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+playsoft Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 How do I renew my ABBUC membership? I received the "30 years ABBUC in a box" a couple of weeks ago and noticed the date on the label was 30.03.15 - so I owe money! Unfortunately I did not note down my membership number. Back on subject, I love the look of The Monk and can't wait to see it. Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spookt Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 On A related note - what happens after you fill in the membership request form. I haven't received a request for money yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+David_P Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Check your spam folder - the replies I got (using Gmail) got filtered there because they were in a foreign language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookt Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 No nothing anywhere as far as I can see. Except the automatic response to the form submission which I received fine. I guess folks are probably just busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
