Nago is out of disk space; uploads will fail.

The plan to free up Nago...

A couple of things that would likely clear up at least a gig of space. But I'd expect more.

~ Go through and delete anything tht is not a viable video/audio file(aside from flash videos) such as Windows Movie Maker projects, vobc, etc.
Add a block to anything that is not .swf, .avi, .ogm, .wmv, .rm(and it's variables), .mov(and it's variables). To prevent further false uploading.

~Allow users to request to delete videos.
This will clear up a ton of videos. Several noobs have only uploaded partial vids because they can't use FTP and confirm their uploads, and they would request to delete.
Old members have uploaded craptastic things they don't want on local anymore, so they could delete their stuff.

~Go through and delete all corrupted files.
Clears out improperly uploaded things that somehow got mangled.

~Go through and delete local video sthat haven't been reported, but should've.
Live action, gore, sex, etc.

Should clear up a lot.
Hope this sounds as reasonable as the reasons for the edit button. ~_^

Oh, yes.

~ Delete all the videos that were deleted from the list/catalog but are still being stored anyway.
(I don't know why you keep to this rule Phade, it's dumb. Quit saving stuff, you pack rat! XD)

.mpg would qualify as a 'false upload'???

actually reading about the Seek and destroy mission that deleted 5000 or so videos, I'd say that Phade has a pretty angle on cleaning house.

Oops. No. That was a momentary lapse of brain activity.

With another 10 TB's - i don't think cleaning up has to be the first thing to do (myself - i hate it too)

It's only 2 TBs.

Hey - I hardly get 60 GB's full... 2 TB's should be sufficient for the time being!
