So one of the things that our group kinda lives off of is sharing material and the likes...and since we have big contributors to like Shades and Jibs, it would be kinda convenient if they had one place to dump all the stuff they tend to bring to the table.

So I was talking to one of my friends online, and he invited me to this site called Dropbox. It's basically a cloud storage site where you can upload your stuff to it, and it gets shared to everyone who is apart of that group. It's essentially like a FTP we had going on Ayeka.net. And you have to get PERSONALLY invited by the person in charge, and since he's our main contributor, I wouldn't mind seeing Shades take the position....

I think this is interesting cause at least we can have a place we can all share and grab from, and not worry about a company like Mediafire bitching out and deleting valuable stuff like they did with Shade's mediafire folder. And for those who don't care for porn sites, the can avoid sites like e-hentai.

Now what's the catch? Does it cost money? For a lot of storage space, yes, I think like 9 bucks a month. But you get 2 gigs for free, and I was thinking we could use these 2 gigs as like a "trial" period or something. So what do you think? Yay or nay?

https://www.dropbox.com/

*Edit...it seems to have a 16 gb limit....

Now it looks less valuble...sigh.

*Edit #2 Scratch that again....10 bucks a month gets you 100 GB and 20 gets you 200 GB..

So after people showing me more about it, this is how the saavy folks do it....They only use the free 2GB version and keep a rotation of the files going.

So lets say Shades gets Kajishima 12.12, scans it then puts it in the dropbox. He'd then keep it there for a set amount of time, and when nearing the 2GB limit, he'd remove the scans to add whatever new he wanted to add. Basically we'd have a certain amount of time to DL whatever is shared.....

Sounds good. Darkness and I have been using it for our Eu3 game maps.

I like Nyaa.eu.

Everything I posted there since August is still seeded.
Visit Tenchi's Girls Facebook Group for everyday pics and random info.  Tenchi's Girls Twitter too.

Only thing about Nyaa (and Torrents in general) is that once the seeds are lost, you are pretty much effed.....And drop box is simple cause its literally a folder in your local area (around your my documents, my pictures etc folder), you just drop that sucker in there and it instantly starts sharing.

So all I would have to do is open up my folder which is in the same area, and just grab it. Specifically if its something that's kinda old and I know one of you have....
