Ok. Thank you for clearing that up.

In either sense, I personaly thought the two week probation was good. It either encouraged donations or maybe just have them look around. But I understand if you got a ton of hate mail. *Laughs at the general public that fails to read, but saves that story for another day*

Oh, and I've been thinking that maybe inactive users or users that have signed up and haven't done anything should be purged (AKA deleted). Could save a little on space, considering the org has...*checks* oh wow, almost 300,000 accounts/members.

Each dead account takes up about 209 bytes of space each. Even if 150,000 accounts were deleted, that would only save ~30M of space, an insignificant amount of storage.

There's only one thing I can say in response to this (all 4 paragraphs of it)...

Yeah, that one should be on the list as well. Brain no longer worky this late at nighty. A single full-length distribution quality copy of massive multi-editor projects may be considered. So many things to do...

Phade.
Well, that's great news, particularly for projects which may have trouble setting up Bittorrents (which is how it's done these days). It's definitely gonna help...

****

The other changes sound good to me, even slightly too generous (particularly with the waiting period).
All this only makes me want to donate more... time will tell if it has the same effect on others.

Thanks for the good work, even in semi-retirement. :)

Good stuff Phade.


Although I am a bit dubious on the two week period removal
affecting donations and bandwith, we'll see how it turns out.

Thanks Phade. Excellent.

I feel the 2 week waiting period is like a double edged sword. It may turn many future members away from amv's but as everyone said, it may help bring in more many, i understand bigger donations are better, but someone donating 5 bucks to watch amv's does help. As for not having it, may allow people to enjoy amv's, and really get into it quickly, maybe causing them to donate money for the cause. Guess waiting to see is the only reasonable option hmmm?
On another note, it was good to hear from Phade again.

Hee hee. I know how that goes. My daughter is 3 and I still don't get a huge amount of free time. I'm amazed I manage getting anything done. Lol

I also think removing the waiting period could be a bad thing. I can imagine people just using it as a place to serve random files, until they get found out.

But, I guess just wait and see. Maybe it wont be a problem.
