Archives to be deleted...

Re: Archives to be deleted...

i am guessing the majority of members do not dl the sets anymore. They are really old sets and all the new ones over the past 3 years are linked here now anyways.

what do u think of removing the post limit and give a 1 month period for everyone to dl what they want and then Kamal removes it.

Re: Archives to be deleted...

Sooo, really important decision and only 15 members bothered to vote. Sort of sad that condiments mean more to people on this site than one of the most important and comprehensive music sources available. You really don't know what you have got till it's gone


Btw I know I could have made a pun here, I chose not too.

Mass DL commences now!

Re: Archives to be deleted...

Whoa whoa whoa... Why not give us the option to help pay for it? I rarely use the archive, but I'd be happy to help pay to maintain it. Lord knows its given me plenty of joy over the years and I'd be willing to pay it forward some. What is the actual dollar cost of maintaining it?

Could we
A) charge a membership to access it.
B) do a fund raiser (most of use have donated in the past after all)
C) Move the actual data to a file hosting site and set up new links?

Re: Archives to be deleted...

I missed the deadline to vote.....personally I rarely ever go into the archives, but I do think it's a really cool feature. I think it is an incredible database of music, and definitely a rare find on the Internet. Maybe look at ways to promote it and get new people on the board excited about wanting to post so they can access it.

Re: Archives to be deleted...

Just getting back on here after moving across the country and seeing this thread, but if needed I could help throw all this shit up on S3 if we want to keep it around. ~220 GB is about 20$/month storage, but the data xfer if it varies a lot could be a cost variance. 10GB xfer is < 2$ so that 169GB month where someone copied the whole archive would be an extra $20 for the month in xfer price.

I always keep pimping s3 here but I know it won't disappear one day like any crap on megaupload and nothing will ever expire if it isn't downloaded for a while either, so it is something that will always be there.

Re: Archives to be deleted...

i put a lot of hours into the digweed side of it so if it goes i would ( if possible ) like to have access to the ftp to download the archive

i already have all the HC mixes

[DIDI]

Re: Archives to be deleted...

I have all the hc ones, I've spent the last couple of days filling holes in the collection. I have a sneaking suspicion that I have a lot of multiples but you can't be too careful. I will be putting them all up on mediafire over the next couple weeks, there are a lot there now. At least I am getting it all organised properly. But it would still be nice to have them here. I have to say thank you to those who did such a great job on the archives !!

One of things I really appreciate is the tracklists, I will be putting those up as well.
