great idea ;)2

[ambershee]

I think that hosting individual modders is better for those who have a lot of small projects on the go - but it should simply be an alternative to the large project hostage instead - perhaps all the 'mini-modders' should be grouped together into smaller communities instead of as individuals too.

[the high dude]

i would like a small place for my models

[Comrade-Max]

it would overload origin i think

it should be for mini-modders who have done a mod that origin likes before if you get my drift

each modder must have made a mod that has been liked by the orgin staff before the modder gets a section

[Daz]

Im not sure about checks as strong as Comrade-Max's but there needs to be some kind of thing to check so that we know we aren't hosting crap.

[The_Hunter]

Can't imagine someone who wouldn't like it

neather do i

Hmm I was thinking about hosting it on the SDI with the info you want unless you object..

[Detail]

Best to let thudo decided if he wants it on SDI or if he want to try and make his own mini site for it.

[Gfunk]

I like it, hmmm... when I think of something to add to that I'll post my suggestion here... but I like it.

As always i'm trying out new ideas, heres a new one:

ModdER Hosting
Each hosted modder gets a place (modders.game-mod.net/moddername/HERE) to upload there files to. Uploads are done with a simple web based interface and can be a max of 3mbs. Total space each person gets is undecided, but we have loads, so it does not matter.
People also get a sub-forum (Ori -> Game Mod Projects -> ModdER -> moddername).

Thats the consept. Suggestions welcome.
Whould you like such a thing?

[Mastermind]

I like the idea. I already have a small storage area for my models/work that I use as a test facility. I'm sure some people would take advantage of it.

[Daz]

I'm sure some people would take advantage of it.

As I have been for quite a while.

[Mastermind]

For some reason I don't think we admins really count. I gave Liamh a space as well, so he didn't have to use a free web thing, and I had easy access to everything. I think it would help with people who are using free hosting to host images and such, and the hotlinking problems and such.

[Daz]

Yeh, alot of Free hosts are killing the ability to Hotlink nowadays.
Which is fair enough, it's their bandwidth.

[0verlorD]

great idea i would love a place to put my models and my mini mods for multiple games mainly c&c though

[Detail]

Limits can be put on what the user can upload.
There could also be a limit on how many file downloads (/views for image) thay can have. This way there wont be a bandwidth drain.

I was thinking this could have an auto-signup, so it's almost like a normal free file host (but done Ori style).

I understand it would be a good thing to have, but do you think theres a demand for such a thing?

[the high dude]

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss
sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Vanguard]

I'm in and dig it.

[ittan]

you mean any small time modder can post his files here i dont see anything new in the idea but i think it would be a good thing as you have enough space.

[Stino]

I like the idea. But don't get an overdosis of accounts here. Maybe a kind of "inactivity rule" will also help here.
