I think Ming was referring to the posts by Dr.Spike and War of Art - and quite possibly mine - just above yours.

Hehehe... Heresson admitted.

As for the actual issue, the whole system seems to be &%"@33 up. If people need to host files, they can at anytime look for a free web hosting service or use the services provided by their ISP. Also many schools, public institutions, colleges and universities offer free services to their students and staff, so it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I have no interest in hosting files on ACS, because there's better ways to do it, plus you have full control of your files.

For what purpose would people be uploading warez and stuff to 'Poly? I mean, there are much better ways to get such material. Maybe some people have some voice in their head telling them to do things that would get them banned.

cause they dont realize that our system is #@$&^$* up

**Rasbelin** · March 11, 2003, 03:57

You learn quick, Markos.

Noobs need to upload files too. Case in point; back when Civ3 came out I made a map and wanted to post it here, but Poly was flaky and wouldn't play. So I headed over to CFC and posted it there instead - it generated some interest and it contributed to that community. However, I never bothered with the redt of CFC - I'm still a settler over there.

Deny people who have created material the possibility to upload here unless the spam their way to whatever first, and you deny all of the community interesting contributions. So I really don't support any poster-level ban on uploads. Stricter quotas? Perhaps. Not many maps/mods/saves other than graphic mods require more than one MB.

Markos,

Maybe you should finally see what has happened to all those The Column writings? BTW...

**Jon Shafer** · March 11, 2003, 15:30

How much is there stored in the 'Poly upload? How much space do you have dedicated to that?

Or maybe a downward limit of say 1 MB, and then increase it after so and so many posts?

Some of my Civ3 Leaderhead sets are 20 MB, but I always had to send those directly to MarkG via a link to my website where I had uploaded them via FTP. I was unaware we could upload 20Mb files directly ourselves.
