A Fandom Resource Needs Our Help!

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Raise your hand if...

....you have a layout made by qafmaniac (Including this comm!)

....you've watched or downloaded one of her many vids

....you've uploaded her icons, gifs or wallpapers



*raises hand*

My beloved Tita has stepped up time and again for many of us. And she never asks for anything in return.


And right now, she needs our help.


Please, if you can, help keep the layouts up, the vids available, the icons shareable.

qafmaniac has been, and still is, an integral part of the Queer As Folk fandom. Help me show some love, k?

You keep your files forever with no deletion.

Well, I once had a paid premium account on Megaupload/Megavideo and they threw me out in 2007, deleted all my files and baned me from their site!!Said that I am producing gay porn...PFFT!! ;-)

If you use an anonymous referrer that hides your links and change your file names, it's unlikely that they can kick you out for any strange activity since they don't know what those files are referring to. You can probably get back on now using different information. They're still the best site to go to that offers fast downloads and as long as you keep your links hidden, it's unlikely they'll delete anything.

I tried several times to get a new account, but as soon as I start to upload a file it gets killed.Must be an IP thing or something....

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Must be. Does it automatically shut down? Sometimes it takes a few times for me to get an upload started. I can't think of any other server that won't delete your files if you don't renew so it's a shame you can't use this one.

The upload starts pretty well and when it's almost done it shuts down... :/

Yeah, that's what I thought would happen. I read over their policy, and thought you probably would be able to get by with the pics, but the videos ... not so much :{ . Though it's kind of funny, that there's a bunch of yaoi vids swimming around there that are pretty hard core and have never been pulled down.

I honestly think it's all about how well you hide the video. I've seen all the GLEE seasons uploaded into MU, but they're named the most absurd thing. One episode was seriously named "Granny cooking chicken pot pie"!! :D!

Have you thought about getting your own website? I know that for the same price of a lifetime membership in MU, you can get a decent website that allows you to upload vids, pics, and files directly from your computer to the website, without having to go through random servers. You can even edit the website to make certain pages password protected. This way, you share the password in your LJ, and you know that only people who actually want to see the website will be able to access your stuff.

At any rate, I hope you find sometime that helps you keep your stuff safe :).

Already have my own website and it's a damn pain in the butt to keep it up-to-date...erm,which I haven't done in a really loooooong time. ;-)

Believe me, I have checked them all, but non of the website providers wants you to upload hundreds of GB of vids and music and pics.And then there are their TOS about "inappropriate contents" and this whole copyright infringement shit...

it's all about how well you hide the video.

Well, I think I did a good job hiding them but they've found them anyway.
There's already so much shit out there, and sometimes it seems that the only one who ALWAYS get caught is me. LOL

"Granny cooking chicken pot pie"

OMG!!! LMAO That's hilarious!! :DDDD
