<div class="IPBDescription">for people that don't have one</div> I was thinking, my ns community site is now hosted under nssource, wich says they have unlimited recources (and so do I, no traffic limit or webspace limit). So i was thinking about creating a "service" where people that run a server can use the "my" content server to use if they cannot afford/get their own.
No this is still just a idea in the dark, and I'm waiting for a reply from nssource to get a final on if I could really pull this off, but the deal is:
- You get a content server for free, so people can download custom maps fast, and without taking up server-bandwith.
- The only thing you have to in return is have the "content is provided by" logo set to the Marines Hideout logo (wich is done automatically I think cause the banner is on the webhost)
- You must have a .res file per map yourself (I won't create those if they are needed, but it is quite easy to do it yourself, and there is even a special program for it, <a href='http://forums.unitedadmins.com/index.php?showforum=35' target='_blank'>ResGen Project</a>) and you cannot have more then about 30%-50% custom maps played per day average (to reduce the bandwith a bit)
If you think this sounds like something you would like to see, post a reply to see if this would be something i'd make a lot of people happy with.

If you were to start pushing out a constant stream of data, I'm fairly sure your host would eventually take you down for using too much bandwidth/hard disk space.
Other than that, its nice to see someone offering this, just dont put too many people on it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
