Bloodymess13 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 First off I would like to say that I personally apologize for changing the way videos are uploaded so often. I would like to stress that the reason I make these changes is to prevent hackers and prevent people from uploading material that is inapropriate or illegal. All of these can cause TGA to lose its hosting, which i pay for, which would inturn lose everyone else their free hosting. To the point: I have shutdown the freeforall FTP . We are implementing a new system in which it will be easier to track who uploads what/when/and from where. This will help us keep the uploads section clean and ban people where apropriate. If you need an FTP email me or Samurai_Ohk with your Username and desired password. Your username should be the same as your MTA or Game Alias. We will email you back with how to login and how to get to your section. EMAIL: [email protected] OR [email protected] MSN: [email protected] OR [email protected] Example: Hey I would like an FTP please. Username: Bloodymess13 Password: abcd Then we email you back with an email such as this: Your FTP account has been created. username: [email protected] password: abcd You can access your directory through HTTP by going to http://thegamersalliance.com/Bloodymess13 This should help everyone out. You will have your own directory with all of your own videos in it. We have hotlink protection turned on at the moment to cut down on hackers and prevent bandwidth whores, so to let people download your stuff you will have to use the link we give you in the email (http://thegamersalliance.com/Bloodymess13 in the example). The easiest FTP software to use in my opinion is either SmartFTP or CuteFTP both are available free from download.com. Or you can just use windows explorer. FTP rules: ~ Zip or RAR EVERYTHING before uploading it. This includes videos. ~ Do not upload anything obscene or illegal ~ 3 Strikes your out for minor offenses. You will be emailed with a warning if you break the rules. On the third warning your directory will be deleted and your account will be revoked. If you upload something illegal or obscene you will be out automatically no warnings. If you are only planning on having one video MSN myself or Samurai_Ohk and we will upload it for you without you having to sign up for an FTP . Link to comment

Bloodymess13 Posted October 9, 2004 Author Share Posted October 9, 2004 as long as it is compressed it is ok, that is as long as it falls within the rules (so compressed screens are ok) Link to comment
