I’ve kind of had this idea for a while and have always wanted to give back to the community as much as possible, either by helping out members of the forum or in game. I know for a lot of you do not have easy access to web space for hosting your files, or you’re limited in bandwidth or disk space. So my plans are to kill two birds with one stone.
Currently, the web server I co-own have 2 terabytes of storage and unlimited bandwidth. Myself and the other owner really have never come close to use any of that storage and do not see any plans in the immediate future to fill that space, especially the unlimited bandwidth.
I’m proposing the creation of the Aces High Movie Database. The goal of the website will be as follows:
1)
Offer free and unlimited hosting of Aces High movies to users.2)
Centrally locate a large collection current and past movies*.*I know a lot of people have lost or cannot find certain movies you are looking for. They are scattered across the internet and almost impossible to find unless you know someone who knows where its stored or that site was taken down. The hope would be to have one website to get them all. This would not be a replacement for Youtube (since that is low quality and convenient for those on dial up etc), but rather a site to host the high quality versions of the film.
Currently, we will need to stress test the server. I hope to have a user interface website set up eventually where each person would have their own login, a website able to search for movies….etc etc. For now, a simple FTP login will server as a temporary set up. If you have a movie, or past movies (your movie or someone elses) you want shared and/or stored, please feel free to access the FTP (it is currently active).

I recommend zipping the movie as this will allow you to direct link your movie in say your signature. If you leave it in ‘.avi’ or ‘.wmv’, a direct link once clicked will open your movie in Media Player. And if the movie is large enough, it will take a while to load it.
Once the file(s) are uploaded, movies can be currently accessed in an open directory:
http://www.derstuhl.com/ahmd/moviesThis is the infant stage of a project I’d really like to have take off. I’m open to suggestions, comments or concerns.
Please only upload AH movies, I will monitor the uploads for bogus file hosting.
