Edited by: Maldu Rakahi on 29/04/2011 06:12:27 Introduction
Introducing EVE-Sector, a simple yet useful resource site for the EVE community. The purpose of the site is to provide a means to store images, screenshots, files and other such useful EVE related data you need to get on the Internet quickly without the hassle of commercial services such as Imageshack. I am currently in the 'beta testing' phase for this small site - so please bare with me while bugs are sorted out!
Features
- Unlimited storage for screenshots and other images - attach to your favourite EVE forums.
- No popups, banners or ugly in your face advertisements.
- Fully automated gallery system: instant upload -> instant attachment to your forum.
- Fully automated file system: Make music? Upload your EVE music mix and share it instantly.
- Free FTP services for larger file requests or EVE websites.
- Free POP3 mail services for anyone.
Rewards
If you sign up to the 'File Upload' area with your EVE charactername as a username, you will receive 1 million ISK as a thankyou present. This offer is open only for the first month of signups (until May 29th). Your ISK will be delivered within 24 hours.
Support
In the future I will need support to run the site - This includes moderation and updates. Stay tuned, because I will be recruiting right here.
In the meantime, check out the site (design inspired by EVE gate), let me know what you think, and be sure to show your support by sending in some pictures!

Because this site requires registration and char name information, which makes it easier to potentially harvest player accounts. I assume the site owners hope people will use the same login/pw combo on their site as they do for Eve. With the char name, they can now login from their ip and dodge the CCP security security check which asks for char name when logging in from a new ip.
Seems pretty clear to me.

Nothing wrong with having 'more' of a good thing. Oh, and, no Ads asking you to buy the latest ISK book.

No one *has* to use their EVE username, and they certainly shouldn't use their EVE password. Even if they did, it's encrypted into a database (not an encrpytion you can just break with some tool on the internet).
Edit: As a sign of good faith, I have disabled the requirement for user registration.

hmm... what's your rationale for encrypting the password instead of hashing it?

Well, it is hashed (SHA-1).

If I was referring to eve-files, your response might make sense.
Since OP has adjusted requirements for usage, I'll give it a spin. As he says, more options is always better.

lets see,
trusted chribba's eve-files.com, hosting files on several machines all over the world
vs. unknown guys sectorgames, unknown server configuration
Speed: (more = better) Sectorgames: 1.26M/s Eve-Files: 2.71M/s
Network Distance (less = better) Eve-Files: 8 hops Sectorgames: 18 hops
Content (more = better) Eve-Files: 2 609.93 GiB, mixed videos, music, screens and other eve related stuff Sectorgames: 22 mp3 and 22 images.
Requests per Second processed (more = better) 20 concurrent requests on 500 total Eve-Files: 30.59 Sectorgames: 5.68
50 concurrent requests on 500 total Eve-Files: 30.88 Sectorgames: 4.2
100 concurrent requets on 500 total Eve-Files: 30.48 Sectorgames: 3.98
Conclusion Sectorgames does not offer anything that eve-files doesnt, but is considerably slower and scales worse. in case of peaks through overly popular files (for example someone leaks a Ventrilo Recording of a popular Alliance), this side will most like not be able to handle the load.
Advice Stick with eve-files, mirror your files to sector games if you feel like you should honor the sectorgames guys work.

It's not a replacement for EVE-files - It's a small service on the side. I see no reason to have all the 'power' that you have stated in your statistic report. I highly doubt a small community such as EVE can cause bandwidth or connection problems for Sectorgame. If it did, I would simply upgrade the EVE quotas.

Pretty clear, except it's all one big lie.
You can upload without registering here: http://eve-files.com/upload.dxdx You can register without giving your EVE character/username here: http://eve-files.com/register.dxdx; it doesn't even require an emailaddress.
Free advice from me to you: if you want to set up a community-based site, trashtalking about other well-established and very respected sites isn't your best course of action.

You guys really should read more carefully.
Constantinus Maximus misread Ris Dnalor's post, mistaking his remarks about my site for eve-files. Mister Rocknrolla read it properly and corrected Constantinus Maximus. Then Johnny May interepts EVE-sector as a stupid idea because it has 'lower' process capability, despite already being on a server that receives and transmits multiple gigabytes per day on it's other sites without problems. Then 'That's a Lie' reads Mister Rocknrolla's comment about eve-sector requiring registration (not eve-files there, remember) and somehow interupts that as a negative remark from me about EVE-files, when in fact it was about *my* site and not even posted by me. Yeah.
If you have negative remarks, I will gladly listen to them, but at the very least read properly before shooting the messenger. Now stop fighting in my post.

Originally by: Johnny May A bunch of irrelevant comparisons.
When the guys at Capsuleer killed that project, lots of people bemoaned the fact that there wasn't an alternative up and running the next day.
This project isn't a mirror-image of eve-files. It's an alternative. Placing everything on one site (eve-files) could be problematic, and having a proven alternative cannot be thought of as a bad thing by any logically-minded adult.

Boy - aren't you glad you tried to do something nice for the community now? :) .

Indeed. But even if only a few people use the site, then that's good enough for me.

Wow, not only do you completely miss what he actually said, but you then manage to use his post to somehow infer that the person making the site is trash talking about eve files. It doesn't even look like a troll attempt, with all the helpful info you used, so I must conclude you are instead an idiot.
I'm going to spell it out for you:
Mister Rocknrolla was referring to eve-sector with his post, as reasons why it does not make sense to use it.
And then there is your last sentence which I can't even begin to fathom what kind of jump in logic you used to get to that.
On the topic of Eve Sector, I have no reason to use it and probably won't try it, but it is nice to see that people are attempting to broaden what is available in the community run part of eve.

How very dare you offer a free service to the eve community sir!
But seriously, looks handy for uploading screens quickly, thanks.

Interesting service, thing is that we have EVE-files and as someone already summed up it's a whole lot more capable than this one. Not saying I don't appreciate new services, I do, but you have to wonder if they did their research when starting this thing; you simply can not compete with the Chribba.

Edited by: Maldu Rakahi on 08/05/2011 02:13:52 I am not trying to compete with Chribba - However, I fail to see the need for so much horsepower on a server that already puts out well over 50gb a day via it's other sites without a hitch. If and when the need arises I will upgrade the server, but it won't be due to EVE sector.
Oh, and, the gallery system is more akin to Imageshack than eve-files, with the exception of there being no ads. To me = That's a good thing.
