After some thinking, post count doesn't matter due to neffing. I can always ban users who screw around anyways. now accepting accounts at the first post.

As far as pron goes .. it isn't illegal .. but I will probably forbid it. Anyone have any comments or ideas?

The server may be a little slow since it is on cogent. People with comcast cable are the fastest with international being the slowest.

edit: wrong speed.

LOL

Either 3000 posts or 1 year since join date. By that point, if they suck, everyone knows it.

For people who have it, you could always use Heatware as part of the criteria.

It is extremely overrated.

dowxp as stated in the post ..

RossMAN: Wanna admin? :)

No thanks, I agree with the previous admin recommendations.

Just make sure that it's monitored close to 24/7 and immediately delete anything remotely illegal.

It's brought down commerical servers...that's all I can say about it.

The deal is offering file hosting is going to get the idiots trying to serve even pr0n vid, windows proggie, and mp3 out there.....did I forget DVDs?

you need to do a lot of work on the front end as you will become a host to their play...you can ban them if your host still lets you back ;)

well accounts are given out per handle. if they get banned .. they'll have to start posting all over. Not sure if its worth it for a free ftp.

Where has it brought down commerical servers?

I've hosted stuff for AT all the time, and in my opinion that "effect" is exteremely overrated.

Depends onwhat it is. In general, probably not that good, but say host hi-def caps of commercials on superbowl day or somethin like that and it'll get pretty big.

lol I was uploading a fairly big file (ThemeHospital check it out!) and when the server refreshed I thought I accidently spent all that time uploading it to my own server. Since the exact same files are on there :p



motion to name the server "joeking's mirror"
