We will be making a LOT of changes over the next week. During the process of changing servers we are going to take care of some issues. We currently have over 300 downloads of which about 150 are crappy stunt videos. We will be getting rid of most of the under par videos and also getting rid of all of the large videos (over 90 megs). All old stunt records will also be cut. This will cut back on our bandwidth usage substantially. Under the new system we will host anyone’s stunt video for 2 weeks, after that period TGA will decide rather or not your video is up to par with the rest of the videos we are hosting. The GTA uploader is going to be cut back from 80 megs to 65 megs. If your video is larger than this you may IM me on MSN ([email protected]) and I will decide if we will be able to host your file, in general if the file is over 100 megs we aren't going to host it. All screen shots that were uploaded to the /ss directory from the GTA uploader will be dropped in the move to the new server. The reason for this is because the majority of the people who used it to put bmp files or large images that were not compressed properly, this costs us unnecessary bandwidth, which in turn costs me money. One of the advantages on the new server is TGA will now be capable of selling you hosting packages. We will be able to offer Unlimited packages with restrictions on bandwidth and webspace only. We hope to sell these packages to gaming oriented sites to extend the TGA family. I am trying to figure out pricing right now, and the whole system probably won't be set up until a few weeks into the move. The point of all these changes is to lower our bandwidth and keep TGA from getting trashed by a lot of low quality stunt videos. We don't want you guys to have to wade through a swamp of below average videos before they find a decent video. Under the new system we will have nothing but good quality videos.
