We have been working for quite some time to get this put together and ready for public use. Rather than simply using forum post attachments, this is an entire dedicated file hosting system. Being based upon the platform I built for Morrowind Modding History, this was designed specifically for mods.
There some nifty features we want to emphasize:
- Upload files up to 300MB in size.
- Attach unlimited additional files to a single download entry.
- Include as many screenshots as you wish.
- Full BBCode support in descriptions; this means you can style your text, include images, even embed YouTube videos!
- Authors can enable/disable public comments and screenshot uploading.
- We are constantly working on improving SEO; so search engines everywhere will be able to quickly find your files.
Now, to address some potential technical concerns you may have:
- We run a full rsync backup to a remote server every night. There is also a weekly compressed file backup done which is stored on a 3rd server that is in a different physical location. Your files will never be lost.
- We run up-to-the-minute database backups on a remote server. So comments and descriptions and other changes are mirrored almost immediately.
- There are several layers of security. We won't get into details here, so let it suffice to say we have confidence.
- All of the GHF network sites run on an OnApp-driven VPS cloud. As such, no single point of hardware failure can have a long-term effect on the stability of the sites. And the SAN that runs our particular VPS is hosted in a Tier III secure data center.
Now...don't you want to join the recent rush and upload your mods here now?
