A while back (a few months ago) I found a post that showed how to install 13 (or something like that) extra compiz plugins and I was pretty sure that I had subscribed to it but now when I go back to try to find it to install the plugins, the post is gone and I tried searching the forum and... no luck!

Am I going crazy and this never existed or was it removed for some reason? Has anyone else seen this howto post?

Yes, I thought I was subscribed to that as well. Another useful link is http://forlong.blogage.de/ The guy/girl seems to be a bit of a wizard when it comes to compiz and he/she often posts on this forum.
Just googled for the post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=659282
Apparently I don't have permission to view this ????

Apparently the origin compiz plugin post is in the Jail (whatever that means).

The plugin is called "Cube Atlantis", under Effects.

Did you get any error when compiling?

I just tested it. Except for the fact that it slows everything down in my system (I don't have a powerful GPU), the plugin works.

Probably a silly question but have you set the cube to be transparent on rotation?

There are two versions of Atlantis. You can only install one at a time. What you need to do is to set Opacity while rotating to around 25. This can be found under Desktop Cube, Transparent Cube tab.
