If it's in late Jan/Feb, then I want to switch my vote to San Dieago.

This isn't a topic about beer, it's a topic about the convention, and no I didn't go off topic...mexians stealing my beer in San Dieago makes me not want to go...

?buy planeticket And I voted Seattle, and as I stated earlier to Swift, it's because San Diego is filled with mexians...we don't want them stealing our beer...

What else is RS good for? I'll use 500upload for that I guess, then I can use my RS account for meaningful stuff, like warez and pictures of your mom I kid 'cause I love.

If he can rewrite the script in one day, then it's probably not robust enough to handle the amount of traffic and users that Rapidshare goes though every day, and the potential users and traffic he will have. And yeah, I'm sure RS is maintained by more than one person, which is why it works better. Your friend is going to need a team to help him out if he starts to get big. And I used RS for 3 weeks without my files being deleted for free, it's $9 to go premium, but they advertise themselves, not other companies. RS will not get owned. 500upload will be owned by the much larger, reliable, robust, better configured and better written script of Rapid Share. From what it sounds like, your friend bought a pretty new dedicated server from someone and wanted to start his own RS type site. Well, I'm pretty sure RS owns more than just dedicated servers, probably whole racks with terrabytes of hard drive space. I don't think you friend knows what he's getting into, but best of luck to him.

Intellectual conversations without flaming? Fine. Reasons I would change to 500 whatever: 1. Cheaper than rapidshare. Reasons I will stay with RS: 1. Rapidshare is well known, has great download speeds, and offers three different places to upload my files. 2. I already have a preimum account with RS. 3. When I login to RS I don't see messages like, "Please support this site by buying a Fastp!@#$%^&*." If you're charging people $7.50/mo, then asking them to buy more stuff to support your site, then you should raise your price. 4. 500 Whatever hasn't owned RS. Their script has already undergone updating, the site was down, and they've proved to me that they're not reliable, as demonstrated earlier when I tried to upload a vid and recieved a blank page. Now, why should I change when I've already paid RS for a preimum account? Also, RS has demonstrated reliability since I've been with them. I was with 500 for 2 mins before they lost my trust with their script, plus their download speeds (for me anyway) aren't nearly as fast as RS. Not to mention, when people download my stuff from RS I get points which can be used to redeem for a free month. Does 500 offer anything like that, 'cause I didn't see anything.

Like I said, redownload your zone list. You'll see the name change to SSCU Super Ships, which was around well before Halo.

I only see one halo, SSCB Halo...redownload your zone list, because D+ is using the port for another zone.

I'm no longer a forum admin <--- Becides, I wouldn't ban him. I only ever banned two people while an admin, and it was Spyed and Kill, and rightfully so. I think Apache just has sand in his vagina. Quit being a dusche and lighten up Apache.

Since when has that become a priority in your life? Yeah, I read it last time you posted it.

That didn't make any sence...have you been drinking again?

ebaum's world can burn in !@#$%^&*.

Isn't Halo's port the old counter strike port?

Well, when I'm told it's better than what I'm currently using, then I go to use it and it doesn't work, why would I go back? First impressions are everything.

I went with Verizon and the Chocolate, which I got for $100 because I work for UPS. Yeah coporate discounts!

Don't care. I'll stick with raipd share.

I can't upload vids? Wtf. I can just as easily zip it, but wtf would be the point of that? Edit: Nvm, I'm a !@#$%^&*... Edit2: cool, I uploaded the vid, and it gives me a blank screen. Rapidshare never gave me a blank screen after uploading..

02?

Which of the big four do you prefer, as far as phone selection, customer service, dropped calls, call integrity, and network stability? I'm completely fed up with Sprint and their B.S. attempt at customer service. Get this...last january they inturrupt service to my cellphone because of an unpaid bill. So I call them up to straighten it up, pay my bill, setup automatic payment to my credit card, verify that my bill is completely paid, and all's good right? Febuary rolls around and they inturrupt my service again, saying I had missed a payment...well wtf. So I call them up again, and aparently I didn't pay my November bill or January's...mmmk, so I ask them why they didn't charge my credit card. Their responce, "What credit card?" So I give them my credit card number again, pay my bill, verify again that my bill is current, and all's good right? ... March rolls around and they inturrpt my service again saying I didn't pay for Febuary. So again I ask them why they didn't charge my credit card, they tell me it takes two billing cycles to take effect...that would have been nice to know LAST MONTH. So they read me my credit card number, well, it was wrong anyway, so I give them the correct one and pay my bill. Keep in mind, each time I contacted customer service it was around 1-2am. So today I go to make a phone call, and I get the message that they've inturrupted my service yet again. I apparently had a $190 bill for last month. Ok...so why didn't you charge the card? Well, apparently customer service has changed their hours, and I can't contact them for another 1 1/2hrs. So I pay my bill to get service restored. They tell me it can take upto 4 hours to get it turned back on, well, that was at 9:30pm, it's not 4:30 and I still can't make a phone call...7 hours, 4 hours...same thing right? So yeah, I'm looking for a new cell phone company. Cingular has a cheap Nokia phone that's pretty sweet, not to mention the Motorola L2, which isn't too shabby either. Verizon has the Chocolate, which is just a sexy phone, and T-Mobile has the Blackberry Pearl. All three of these phones I can afford, but it's been a few years since I was with Cingular, and it's been about 5 years since I was with T-Mobile. So who would you suggest?

Swift, I just noticed that your avatar looks like a tribal redition of a vagina...anyway, back on topic... Pretty much says it all.

I think it's just a plot to make people post topics like this.

Can someone please explain this:

How big is the server? How fast? Where is the server located (physical location and datacenter info)? Is it run by some 14 yr old punk with mommy's credit card and a dedicated server? Does he have a speed test file? Who's his ISP?

*snif* *snif* ... I smell smoke ... *snif* *snif* FLAME WAR!

And still, no one cares..
