Heyo,

I see a lot of people are posting commercial songs. I guess it would be called that..

I'm going to have to take them down, sorry. They just aren't relevant to this site. I'm glad to see it's getting used though.

If everyone could start making folders, that would be awesome too. A lot more organized. I applaud those of you that have.

Yep, you don't want "the man" comin' after ya over something like this -



I was having the same problem for awhile - seems to have stopped now tho.

:D

Guys - don't take advantage of Geets generosity - that shit can get him in trouble.
 
Gone now. I missed that one, heh.

I guess I'll just have to keep more of an eye on it.
 
For some reason I can't connect to your server.... :mad: I have no problems with Gunnar's site, so I suspect I may have done something wrong. I will figure it out...

Weird. I'm sorry about that. There's a few people on a few other messageboards I post on that seem to have trouble too. Eh.

Here's what was posted on another messageboard by an uber computer dude. It worked for one of the kids that was having problems. Maybe it'll work for you too.

Try this:

Start -> Run -> cmd

Then type:
Code:

ping outburst8.com

and post the results.

EDIT: If you get the message "Ping request could not find host outburst8.com Please check the name and try again," then the DNS server that you are using is not functioning properly and after the DNS record for that domain expired (time to live was exceeded), it failed to get the new DNS record possibly. If that is the case, then open the HOSTS file on your computer:
Code:

Start -> Run -> c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\



Then, right click on the file called HOSTS (you may need to make hidden files viewable). Deselect "read-only" and click "ok".

Double click the file. You may be asked to choose the program to open it with. Choose notepad.

Then, on a new line type:
Code:

69.56.247.250 outburst8.com



You can use any number of spaces between the IP and the hostname, but I prefer to use a tab. Save the file, re-add the read-only attribute, and close any instances of Firefox that you have open. Try pinging the site again. If it succeeds, then try it in Firefox.

I'll give it a shot when I get home. Perhaps I was entering the information wrong in the client. I will double check that too.
 
So it's become apparant to me that people simply cannot listen to me when I say NO COMMERCIAL MIXES.

If you don't have a folder with your forum name.. you're not uploading anything. I will be checking these folder names through the bbs.

No more images, no more videos, and NO MORE COMMERCIAL MIXES.

I've already gotten emails from someone asking me if it's alright to put up an mp3 for his Myspace. NO. IT'S NOT ALRIGHT.

Stop taking advantage of it, it will go down.

I'm sorry to everyone that is using this as it was intended for.

EDIT: If you want free hosting for your Myspace or Xanga or whatever the hell you're using.. then use Google and find your own service.

EDIT2: If you had any mixes previously uploaded, they are now in the folder called "Mixes that were uploaded."

I just spent a half hour going through everything that wasn't in a folder. I don't feel that I should have to do this.

Like I said. I don't care about your Livejournal, Myspace, or Xanga. There are plenty of other free services out there. PM me if you're desperate. We can discuss matters there.

Well, the hosting is coming down. Too many pricks are uploading shit.

Also, someone just deleted everything off the server and put up their shit. I'm sorry to everyone that needed this hosting. Shoot me a PM if you still need some.

EDIT: To whoever "the_crabs" is.. Fuck you. Way to be a douchebag.
 
Sorry someone fucked your shit up. It was cool that you did this for us. I don't personally need the space, but know it helped other people. That was cool of you.

I guess you'll have to just change the password and have people PM you for it. That way you can keep it up, and have a little better control over it. But that's only a suggestion, geet. It's yours, you run it how you see fit. It's a damn shame when people have to fuck things up for everyone... :(

I'll probably be doing that. It won't be for another 2-3 weeks though. I'm about to go on tour with one of my bands. I leave Thursday. Don't worry, I'll make a thread. Heh.

It's better that it's not running rampant while I'm away though.

Amen to that!

Have fun, and if you get a chance, plug a recorder into the sound system!
 
Why dont use set it up like NL5 did...the system works great!
You have to upload it thru IE, Mozilla ect....and provide a valid email....once uploaded..it sends you a email w/ a link. Also nabs your ip in the process!

That's what I ended up doing. Leaving it wide open isn't too safe (as you found out). Only a handful of people have the password, so If there's any trouble I know where to look ;)

That takes quite a bit of work (believe me), and it still doesn't stop douches from uploading mp3's they aren't supposed to unfortunetly. It does protect against people effing with my server though. Luckily, I can ban people in about two seconds, and pull their files down in even less time thanks to some handy-dandy programming work (that wasn't free).

It's too bad people have to spoil shit for other people - I have been ready to pull the plug on lightningmp3.com several times as well.....

Oh well :)

It's like the old saying goes: give 'em an inch...


Speaking of that, can you delete my files? I don't have a need for them being up any longer...
