[RANT!] HTTP file hosts [cloud/digital lockers]

[amiga1200]

 
okay, just spamming one off, in tribute to those chunks of SHIT http lockers, i can't even access my shit (been like that for two days solid) so i can share more covers.
seriously demotivates, when there ISN'T even a torrent tracker (private) here for the purpose of sharing covers, for the provision.
fuckin mediafire, mega, dropbox, they're all the same.
depend on them at your fuckin risk, but DON'T expect others to continuously foot the bill when all the effort is virtually one-sided.
you clean shit up for a hobby, shares are incidental.
...
the ONLY recovery i have in this regard, is packing the raws with the retail disks dumped, but you already knew this...
[edit]
typo.
[edit again]
ya know what?!
fuck this!
if i'm able to add to that POS locker, just check at your own leisure, really can't be arsed with it all.
not busting my shit when i use a perfectly good torrent tracker, FOR FREE, and the data exists in more than one place.

.... I can't tell if you're complaining about this site or not. Am I alone in this?

I think Mediafire or other such external storage as we don't have areas that he suddently could loose access to.

Ah.  The torrent comment threw me, as I know that is a popular complaint around here.

Buy a domain, host em yourself. Problem solved.

@ megatron.
no, but i'm too pissed to split hairs about it, so...
@ wiggy. missed the mark entirely.
i'm lead to believe this place runs on NEW additions (aside some sort of finance to keep place running, which is normal/not the point) so that being the case. for somebody that:
1, has what he needs, by way of 'retro' retails, no leecher.
2, more to the point, this is done as a mere courtesy, even though workload (via http host) is massively added to, for ZERO benefit, but the site ALONE! (NOT looking for any, just some fuckin half-way to make it easier for EVERYBODY, including myself yaknow?!
i do have shit for brains admitted, but i'm FAR from the only one who's complained about those unstable jokes, or even had issues with such...  users are the target, but it has to go through site. )
@ Arseen.
valiant attempt, but unless it's hardcore drugs that can be ferried down the telephone lines literally, your thought is wasted on the likes, apologies.
thanks anyway.
...
oh, managed to upload some gdi [sdc] covers to that POS, you can look em over if you want.  
[edit]
corrections.

I really wish I could understand most of what the
Hell you are saying... Way too much slang or something is going on and it reminds me of the adults (waa waa waa) speech from the Peanuts cartoons/comic strips... 

[KalessinDB]

I think the main complaint is related to this site but it's not - the complaint is that be finds digital lockers unreliable, and is upset that we don't have any sort of easy way to store most of the covers on here.  Which, to be fair, it is a little crazy just how much more is available via the forums that isn't available on the site proper, but bandwidth costs money so there you have it.

But I'm only about 80% sure of that being the actual complaint, so take that as you will.

[amiga1200]

^^ it's good enough, appreciate your interpretation, works 100%.
@ fisstrimgs.
whatever.
it's not required you understand a goddamn thing i say, nor is it required i pay any attention to you either.  :finger:

[wiggy]

No, you missed my point. That is to say, I don't want to hear your pithy complaints, and if you feel that you have a better solution, then fix it yourself.

"Finger"

read my title and sigil.
as it happens, i DO!
it's called:
take my ball home with me, take my toys home with me.
in the words of cartman:
screw you guys, i'm going home.
wield your clout, ban me.
all i've done is GIVE to this site, and for WHAT?! 
fuckall but stress, no meeting halfway, just a FU from high above. (and from the cliques it seems.)

Seriously - calm down!  You've been basically on the offensive since day 1.  I've been nothing but courteous to you - even when your rants were directed directly towards me.  So if I am one of those you believe to be giving you the FU, then I might as well ban you, as these little tantrums, and paranoid incoherent rants are, to be honest, rather tiresome.  It would be a shame, as it's always good to have people who contribute, but hey, i'm sure we'll all live.

Question for you.  Without trying to be provocative.  Without trying to cause offence. Without trying to be a dick.

Just a question.

Your profile says surrounded by parasites, and your rant above says you get nothing in return for your scans, but when you started posting your scans, you said time and time again that you didn't want any thanks or credit.  If your scans are not for consumption, then why do you post them?  If you want credit/thanks, why did you say you didn't?  What is it that would actually make you happy?

Again - this is not supposed to be rant inducing in any way.  Just a question related to an observation.  If the parasites you refer to are not in fact on this forum, then that's fine.  There are parasites in every walk of life.  It's just a little odd to have it on your profile.

[amiga1200]

^^ absolutely fair point, but my fault for not clarifying in the first place.
what i mean by thanks not required, is by word, no point, says NOTHING to me.
ACTIONS on the other hand, speak volumes.
i'm the same wherever, i'm about as prominent as a dead mouse, nobody says shit about my gear.
they just suck it up and smile.
...
the actions are:
site improvements in general, THAT'S thanks enough.
strange a slave considering better tools for work a reward!  
...
so, what i mean by parasite, is it's totally one-sided.
like most words, only carry so far.
...
another thing to consider strange (i do the more i think on it) is ALL the site based reqs, regardless of place HAVE been implemented, because it was a community benefit as a whole, not just for a single user.
in fact, if you have the time (combined with sheer boredom) look around on the web for me (same username) and you'll find i ask for NOTHING for myself, ONLY supply, but will req site modifications if needed.  
[edit]
typo.

[sheep2001]

We all want improvements to the site here.  The admins ask for all sorts of stuff behind the scenes.  But we don't have the power.  Unfortunately ranting about it just gets you a reputation as being a dick, and doesn't actually get what you want.  Only Snowcone can implement any changes, and the likelihood of him seeing your rant is about as likely as you and I getting together for a beer this evening.
