Update: Webspace

XenuWc3 campagins went down too. Hahaha

no, its up -_-

anyway, maps are the biggest probs i think, i think that the map reviewers should have a check point and have to qualify maps to be submitted before they get a perm position on wc3sear downloads area.

It was down for a few hours today. According to the news post there, it occurred due to server updates.

i know it was down, but he could also be refering to the draco drop a rama.


meh..

continue wise prophets (seriously.)

SworddragonI'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.

The DC system doesn't even work right, stuff that deserves to be DCed doesn't get it, and DCed stuff that actually isn't that good has DCs, though, that's not the case with all DCed stuff, some really deserve it.

Enybody knows how much it will took? I hope less than 1 mounth...

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

Epic War suffers one significant problem- no, and I mean NO moderation of map content. Unlike here, Quite literally 1/3+ of their archive is obsolete version maps. I might even go as far as to say half. You flip through page after page of the same maps, same authors, just different version numbers. If they would just moderate their archive, epic war would be a wonderful site. Epic war may have more maps, but we have far more different maps.

I only handle DCs in the maps section. I dont have a chance to play every single map, so many DC worthy maps probably slip by, thats why I rely on users to point out some exceptional ones when they can. If you are referring to models and skins, you migth want to ask the moderators of those sections to review ones you think are DC worthy so that they may take a closer look.

yes well, as i said, cant you make a rule of having it so that you have to delete all lower versions of the map before you can resubmit it?

i understand everyone loves this site, we all want it working, but only time can tell

Yes, I was mostly referring to the models and textures since I am more active in those parts. And I report so much to Mech that he can't keep up, because the site is so damn slow and because he's lazy (he admitted it himself).

If the site's speed is increasesd, then I think a lot of mods will feel a lot more for moderating, right now it's a pain in the ass for them too, if the site was a bit faster then it would be a bit more doable.

Blah blah I know I'm lazy <_<

As for ideas of deleting old stuff, no. Old stuff is worthy

However, I am severely tempted to go Crazy Go Nuts on all "LOLZ NEW WEAPON" models

For models/skins, old can be good. But for maps, old is really bad. No updates make the map boring, ppl will always want to try out the new stuff.

Then there will be rival versions which are updated and more appealing than the old version which might be a classic. Or there will be sbustitutes maps (some called it ripped off versions) that can replace the old classic one.

oh, i wouldn't know anyway if it allready existed, i make my maps, play others a TINY bit

yes, yes, yes, do it!
Models with just new weapons are basicly the same unit and therefor not that usefull, and right now we need all the space we can get.
so, again, puuuuurge! (bad stuff that is, not good quality stuff)

XenuFor models/skins, old can be good. But for maps, old is really bad. No updates make the map boring, ppl will always want to try out the new stuff.

Right, but who already played all that maps? Im personally finding many interesting maps in oldies. And older versions of same map is beenig deleted.
But as was said, resources are main article here, not maps

olofmolemanYes, models with just different weapon are useless - weaponless models are much better, especially in combination with attachment arsenal. But if that model has also new cool animations its pretty fine (I just seen one, not sure if here, heh...)
