To Niko regarding Sourceforge Screenshot System

Post by Ego Maniac »

I know sourceforge released a doc talking about how the webspace for the project shouldnt be used to host screenshots, but rather you should use the snapshot(screenshot?) system instead. Obviously this system is crap, just like the forums provided per project by default (which is why most projects opt for a CMS like you do...).
Dont you (niko) have some issues with this? I mean, you could be violating the sf.net allowed use for the webspace...

Just curious thats all

I didn't know this doc and didn't know that screenshots are illegal to be hosted on sf.net's webspace. However, you'Re right, their screenshot system really is crap. And because screenshots are really important for this project, I don't think I'm going to change it. I think the .sf.net guys will understand this. And if not, I'll put a donation button on irrlicht.sf.net, get some money together, buy a lot more banthwidth (we would need a lot, about 40 gb/month) and move irrlicht.sf.net to irrlicht3d.org.

Might I add that www.goldendollarhosting.com has plan ranging from $1 to $15 us dollars. The servers are in America but they are very fast. The $15/month service is unlimited hd space and bandwidth. :) Just letting you know!
