Heck Alvatar was right, and some campaigns do have big sizes. Like RotD and Spider Queen. Maybe keep campaigns as LOW as possible like 10 - 20 mb. Should do
Using models for making a game look more good etc is useless in my opinion; I only use models for only unprovided class models (Elven Blademaster, Ner'zhul).
Basically you should remove models with high bytes and also models that can be recreated with triggers like attaching wings, emitters etc.
P.S I saw an Ethereal Grom somewhere in the site a few while ago; have you deleted that? You should!

this sucks
look this is sucky, i have a suggestion, if there are any crappy models, skins, icons or whatever, just **** them, delete them and that will free up tonnes of space, if a model hasnt been downloaded for ages, i think bin it, its like throwing out old cigarettes when your ashtray is full, or giving away old stuff that you have no use for
i havn't been bothered to read the rest of this but still

So there will be no campagins on the site? Or just small ones around 10 or 20 MBs?If restarting the site wont work and dumping everything onto a bucket site wont work either,than I guess this will take awhile picking through things and deleting those specific files.For those maps and models that are too good to delete(such as those Gnomes and great Trolls,etc),lower the polys a bit and anything to decrease the file size.
But this wont work forever.Unless the Administrator finds a permanent solution ti the crisis,in a few months we will be in the same hole all over again.
Also,why do people post DOTAs and Footies?There is no point in posting these on the site.They're everywhere else and I'm about to go insane!The only maps that should be posted on the site should be origional ideas from members.
Spells - UNIQUENESS (no three times made AoE sleep). - FULL MUI for JASS spells - few, if NO leaks for JASS spells
Icons - Atleast 65% scratch! - Icons of units or buildings on the site are done only ONCE!
Skins - atleast 75% scratch!
Maps - No more 50 DotAs and 100 Warhammers and map plagiarism. Map must be ORIGINAL!
There! This should most likely purge the site for good.
Now seriously, this is what I call harsh rules. Not "OMG, you deleted my icon because it was just a recolor?" "Of course! It was a plain recolor" "But icon X is also a recolor" situations.
But we have to rethink the map section. There is no use to have 100 DotAs uselessly. I haven't seen an original map for quite some time. Not that I check the maps section anymore. It simply sickens me to look at it. We should be far more strict with it. Maps are not additional resources! They are "the product" if you want to call it that way.
hmm...but what about someone make crapy e.g. warhammer map and somebody else will make much better one after that? But I agree with that maps are not resources (at least from time when map protecting became fashional) and best thing of this site is resources.
But once again I must say that decission of what should be deleted and what should be preserved should not be matter of one man nor some general rule (for reasons I mentionet few times in this tread)

ok, keep all good quality models, **** the rest I have also noticed that people will release updates of their maps with either tiny upgrades or just leaving the older ones up, if people were to delete older versions BEFORE uploading a newer ver that may help free up some space in the maps
oh yeah, is there acctually anywhere i can get modelling programs for free? coz most of the modelling programs taht are listed on the site need to have that credit card thing

credit card thingy, yeah, it asks you if you want full access, 2 year access, or 1 year access, can't i just get them off limewire pro? would that be better?[/quote]
Frankly the problem here seems to be that people can't descide what is or isn't good and the mods are too afraid of the "why mine? why not his?" consequence of taking any action.
Scrap the bad resources? Who says this is bad, one mod? If it is a problem with a single person then it is a problem that is hard to fight. How has society ruled to fix the problem of "it is just your opinion". Make a voting system (OMG we have one of those), then it is majority wins. select say 35 people who are active users, then get them to go through every resource. This is when you say who will do that?!? well I can say I will do it and I'm sure the mods and admins will, then find some other users that care. give it like a month or so; then, someone with authority like Darky or VG go through the resources, anyone with a score less than 3.5 or something out of 5 is scrapped.
I thought this would work well, the only problem would be finding able users.
I've read through for awhile now, since the increasing loading time, and i'm thinking to just remove EVERYTHING by like, the oldest 75% of ALL files, such as, remove like, 125 pages, maybe half the models/skins/icons and if that doesnt work, delete nearly everything, except the directors choices, and give maybe a month or two warning so people can reupload their favorite maps, such as RPGs, and all those, it makes life much easier then deleting ONE by ONE.

peoples hard work shouldnt be just thrown away, only those whos work was just slap and slack jobs like, geomerged elfs and orc motionless on dragons.
I suggest models with just geoswapped heads be deleted, or weaponless ones be deleted. im sure there is some, people should learn to make their own weaponless models easily.
i dont know..work varies and "good" and "bad" is very subjective...so..ja.

Wc3 campagins went down too. Hahaha
lol, when? oh yeah, ages ago
look, i agree with restarting the site, but also, as an addition, the Map section should be removed and instead maybe replaced with a link to Epic War, it can do everything this site's map section can do except epic war holds millions more maps, this way people wont be resubmitting tiny updates, or footman frenzys that noone cares about
I have also noticed that people will release updates of their maps with either tiny upgrades or just leaving the older ones up, if people were to delete older versions BEFORE uploading a newer ver that may help free up some space in the maps
