team23jordan Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 i know there are not that many videos on the internet that yall can find but i think it'll be nice to have a video forum so we dont have to surf on the internet for 1000 hours to find one and who doesn't like to watch video??

axis008 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Linking or not it would be cool to have a multimedia forum at our fingertips! -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I was just mentioning linking to the hosts because it was mentioned about the bandwidth of this site and hosting. I wouldn't want to press our luck. More likely to get a Vid forum by linking than really sucking his bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Yeah. Or maybe someone can have an FTP site where people can get videos! Someone on the evolutionm.net boards does this. TONS of videos. I can provide the link if you want, not sure if it's still up though but it probably is... -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSB Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 By copying and pasting pics as well as vids are we not infringing any copyright issues? One forum I used in France, but using a US server, and hence under US law, only permitted the links, even to news reports etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Some people get torn about it. I don't see the problem as long as you quote the source (standard practice in educational research papers and such as I'm used to.) I try to show that if I link something like a news article.

MSB Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Don't tell me about quoting sources, I'm in the middle of a dissertation and the Harvard referencing system is getting a pain in the a**, esp after sourcing 100+ articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tide Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Sounds like such forum would be a nice bonus for "members" for a small fee. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Or you can have ads on top so we can have it free!!! :D ... Haha Or maybe have it so frequent members who have a certain number of posts be able to get in, so you don't have to worry about lurkers stealing stuff. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team23jordan Posted March 11, 2004 Author Share Posted March 11, 2004 well i'm guessing a lot of people dont have a host for videos and stuff like that... so i think it'll be good to have some kinda videos/pics forum where we can upload upto 10MG per member...(who has posted more than 1000...wait theres only one.... :evil: :lol: ) Perrin BIG maf intake Perrin Turbo Inlet HKS SSQV BOV Megan Racing header with UP (ceramic coated) HKS DP (WRX) DMH E-cutout Custom 3" catback UTEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I have plenty of storage for myself and some pics for others, but I really only host my own video stuff. That stuff can fill up an online drive quickly! Don't know when I need to upgrade my space from my current, but will hold out til I actually need to upgrade.

Tide Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Somehow I don't think that will help the signal/noise ratio that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tide Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 It can be. So basically I should reward those using the most bandwidth and making lots of posts with a forum in which they can post more high-bandwidth items? Who gets to view these items, only other high-posters? I'd like to offer a very cheap membership ($10 a year) with nice rewards like some file space, members only area, movies, signatures, etc. But its just an idea. Depends on my time and finances. This site could easily cost me $200 / month by the end of the year at its current rate of increase. If someone could point out another car forum that offers such things, I would love to see how they handle movie space, formats, what videos do they allow, who monitors it, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ha-evolution Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I was joking about free storage space. I'm surprised you even have pic storage honestly. I think we are all pretty thankful just to have a Legacy specific website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Well it is my own machine at a local host. I have 90 GB free and can easily add more HD space, only bandwith is my main concern. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 On a site of this size I'd suggest not doing it, at least now with the current membership and the amount of active participants. Now if we suddenly see 3-4X the number of people on here once the car comes out, might be a different story. I'd suggest until that point that we use our own hosts. I'd rather use my own host anyhow.
