Only 97 left |

If you have something special you want upload, you may get the account almost instantly.
I take the new rules as some kind of motivation to keep the amiga spirit alive. therefore ppl are forced to take part on the board and help each other - every bit counts - just say "hello" to a new member on the other side, there is the google mirror and the 2nd ftp with good speed Last edited by emufan; 28 November 2017 at 22:37. |

Exactly emufan
...it's not like anyone has been totally cut off from accessing files. Turran has worked very hard to provide many options; even to non-EAB members... ...and as you say, there is still the mirror provided by DannyBoy without any restrictions. If you want full access to the main "EAB File Server" though, then all we are asking is for you to be active member / part of the EAB community ...let's be fair, the only way we can judge that is by post count; and to be honest, 100 posts isn't much really. |

I think I managed to reach 100 posts in just under 18 months - it's not really much of a hardship.

...but not everyone is chatty or willing to post straight after just joining for some reason. However, I was completely the opposite. My whole reason for joining EAB back in 2005 was due to having numerous questions / things to ask / get help with. Still, after a few months you're there, if really serious about the Amiga / EAB and not just a leecher. |

Fixed a bug (Why nobody report these things?)..
Users who got a "No EAB Forum account name passed. Internal error.." when trying to register an FTP account can now try again. |

Just searched the "EAB File Server" for files with the name "Workbench" or "Kickstart".
Found all these that I'm about to remove: Quote:

This needs to be changed for the EAB File Server:-

* * * W A R N I N G - - - W A R N I N G - - - W A R N I N G - - - W A R N I N G - - - W A R N I N G - - - W A R N I N G * * * Those found in violation of the above rules will automatically earn themselves the following ban:-
* * * W A R N I N G - - - W A R N I N G - - - W A R N I N G - - - W A R N I N G - - - W A R N I N G - - - W A R N I N G * * * EDIT: @Turran, is there a way to implement, for GM's only, a weekly report of what has been uploaded to the user folders/per user? We can then use that to weed out any illegal uploads without having to search the whole ~uploads folder. I know this might be a pain, and if it is, just ignore me <DH whistles> Last edited by DH; 08 December 2017 at 19:08. |

Thanks mai, you had to spoil it
EDIT: We rely on the common decency of users to report such violations, so we can respond accordingly EDIT2: Perhaps the uploads should be placed into quarantine before being placed into the appropriate user folder, however, I don't like the idea of that as it makes the GM's jobs that much harder, and we are already pretty stretched as it is.

I tried that a year or so ago. You could only see your own upload folder and had to request things to be moved out of it from "someone".. It only lasted 2-3 hours because people were screaming so much =)

Cheers Turran
We can now search using ctrl F for possible candidates, much quicker than using an ftp client Haha! I can imagine. On the old CiA site, all uploads went to a hidden upload folder for that user and was only accessible to the Admins, we looked, checked, then moved their uploads to their public user folder. It worked, but on a small level, however this is EAB and the user level and upload level is by far, much much bigger, so it's not ideally plausible tbh.

I can only presume it's because it's an unaltered disk format that keeps the integrity of the original commercial disk with original copy protection as it was when first released.
However, I am not entirely sure, but I guess DamienD will definitely have the correct answer EDIT: IPF images shouldn't be available to people who didn't/don't own the originals. So basically, distribution of these images is NOT allowed, regardless of preservation. It's probably all to do with how the ipf preserves the original content of the original disk, including copy protection, and therefore, like many other (c) items digitally converted, you require an original to own the digital rights, unless you've paid for the digital copy. Basically that is my interpretation of why we can't publicly distribute IPF images on the forum, we're simply, and potentially, breaking copyright laws and EAB could be closed down.
