Raise your hand if...

....you have a layout made by [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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

Thanks for the head's up, I sent a little, just wish it could be more. Maybe someone can suggest a more cost effective storage site for the future after this emergency has been dealt with.

For future reference, I couldn't recommend megaupload enough. Unfortunately, they've changed their currency to Euros so it's more expensive than it's ever been at close to $300 US but once you've paid that? It's paid. You keep your files forever with no deletion. I've always found 4share and other sharing servers extremely difficult and not consumer friendly. megaupload hasn't let me down in the years I've been using it. One permanent payment is all it takes to store your files forever.

Yes, definitely! If there's a possibility of losing files because of non-payment? That's a terrible server. There's no reason to ever lose your files. Sure, nothing's really ever safe on the internet but choose the provider that's going to give you the best for your money and megaupload has been proven to stand the test of time. I joined back in 2007 and have used nothing else.

I have a lifetime membership with MU, but I'm not honestly sure how long her videos would last in there. They have a policy against any video and/or picture that might depict pornography. That being said, I am a member of Aarinfantasy (http://aarinfantasy.com/), and they have a bunch of their yaoi (male/male) videos uploaded for viewing and downloading in MU. . . so yeah, I'm guessing that as long as you know how to "hide" the content of the video, then you might not encounter any problems.

Also, they have different types of rules.

- For example, if you're a Premium user, any and all uploads will last for as long as your account is open.

- If you're a regular user, but just a subscriber, then your uploads will last for up to 90 days from the last day that they are downloaded.

- If you are an anonymous user, meaning you don't have an account with them, then any uploads will last for up to 21 days from the last time that they are downloaded.

How strictly enforced the above rules are, I have no idea. I can honestly say that my previous MU account was a regular one, and I can still see the upload links of stuff that I put up like 5 years ago, with no downloads shown for the last 2 years... so yeah.

Megaupload though is the best server that I've found thus far. They have a total of 15 services that they provide! Amongst them, they have file sharing, video sharing, and pic sharing, which would be what I'm guessing is what she needs at the moment.

At any rate, she can open a free account with them, upload her stuff in there as a backup while she works to solve the issue on her other account. And even afterwards, it's always good to have some kind of backup of your data in different servers, this way if one fails, you know you still have the other one standing :).

LMAO!!!! IASON RULES!!!!!! They're remaking the first OVA, you know! But sadness, the original voice of Iason will be no more, then actor died in 2000 ;_; ... I don't think I'll watch the remake, his voice is what made Iason so freaking amazing XD!!

YES, the hair rocks!!!! That scene in the bed, where he flips his long hair backwards while they're doing it, that had me smiling and laughing like crazy fangirl XD!!!

Love the icon, that scene was sad though ;_; !! Do you have the OVAs? I have both of them, plus a few other OVAs that run along the same line, like Sensitive Pornograph ;P . If you want I can upload them for you to DL :D !

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.

Six weeks.That's the time MU needed when they threw me out in 2007. ;-)

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....

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
