[URGENT] NAC Hosting Issues - We need YOUR Feedback!

[Takibi]

I say move the downloads away. They are a big risk and they're putting all of NAC in jeopardy for something that's not even really needed. Like Wilren said, it's not like stuff's not available on other sites.

Definately don't do a free option for the forum. Instead, maybe consider the free option for the downloads. There's less traffic going to the downloads than the rest of the forums so it shouldn't be as much of a concern about overloading or whatever. Torrents are good too.

For the time being, I can offer my now 'private' blog (which has most of the links in anyways), as a temporary feature at least, depending on what Umi will prefer (looks like he would take this as a compromise, until a better solution will pop up). But I will keep it private, so people will have to register there to access the links, because all the links will be down in a jiffy due to DMCA complaints, as soon as Google and other search engines get a glimpse of the links. I am (and Umi is) fed up with the DMCA complaints and re-uploading.

What's your private blog?

Also, I am looking into how to set up the whole thing as some kind of archive to be accessed via IRC (which, honestly, I think is a more secure option). But then we would need to move our irc from Darkmyst to Rizon, probably. Darkmyst mainly is for roleplay and not very fond of XDCC-bots, from what I heard. Also, we would need to pay a server, again, to where the whole archive goes.

I don't think IRC is good cuz they can DMCA your server and then everything goes down at once and your screwed. At least now there are many links and it's easier to fix one by one if they go down. And then there's the problem of server costs like you said.

T-there's an anime anti-streaming law? NOOOO...the law hates everything I love!

No there isn't. Whereever you heard it, don't believe it.

If the Download section were to be moved offsite, what would be the best choices? Some mentioned Blogs with links to free cyberlockers like Mega. I think that would be simple and effective at this point, and probably is the best solution overall.

Free forums, or Tumblr, or any free website. Does it really make that big of a difference? It's just a bunch of links in a long list. You just need people to organize the list so it's nice and neat and to fix broken links if there's any. Torrents would be even easier because then the tracker organizes everything.

What is the opposite of warm and fuzzy?

That is your answer.
