I don't know about you, but I consider this a major find:
Annarchive - Dragon Magazine
It's just the first 250 issues of Dragon Magazine in .pdf format. You know, in case that might be useful to you in some bizarre set of circumstances.

Yes. That is absolutely awesome. I have this already on disks myself, but what a find!

I've got the archive on disc as well, but this is so much more convenient.
I've also got the actual magazines, from issue 62 through the end of the run. But, again, this is more convenient.

If you use chrome, you can use the extension called "uSelect iDownload" and download ALL of these suckers at once. Took a few minutes to figure out how but then ...whooose! All of em. AWESOME FIND STIK!

Haha, yeah I'm the same. I think that applies to most of my hard copies as well. I just trawl ebay for whenever things come up (there's much less available here in Aus than in the US/Canada), and add them to my collection, for posterity.

Went to access the site and all that came up was an error message. That's too bad.

I think the site has limited bandwidth and seems to be down on occasion. You could also try the main page:

I also have the CD set but I was unable to get to the dragon issues and kept getting an error, even when trying from the main index page. Dungeon worked fine I even tried using MS Edge and just kept getting the error message. Any clues?
