oh dear

So my mediafire account has been suspended, which means I have a lot of dead links scattered across the internet, ack. Given that some of the files on there are straight up copyrighted material, doesn't seem that there's much I can do to get it back.

Apologies for the inconvenience! Vids, podfic, fanmixes, no doubt many other things, all gone. I will start trying to restore as much as I can - if you're after something in particular and having problems, let me know and I'll prioritise it.

I'm not sure what a good long term solution is, really. For podfic, there is of course the archive, so my stuff will still be on there. <3 Vids, I'm a bit stuck. Do I need to look into getting my own webspace? I need somewhere permanent that can support a fair amount of files/downloads without costing me the earth and isn't going to throw me out. Suggestions welcome!

(Also dammit I have stuff to make I don't have tiiiime for this.)

All my vids are on DivShare (random link: http://www.divshare.com/download/12140428-0c3 to give an idea of what it looks like). It's free and I've never had any files go missing or taken down since opening the account in 2008. (That said, I am not by any means a popular vidder, so no idea about how soon you'd use up the monthly limit) The bad thing is that AO3 does not accept DivShare code, so no AO3 embeds (er... though if more popular vidders used it, AO3 might prioritize that!)

*puts on support hat* Send in a Support ticket! The coders are generally happy to whitelist any safe sites, we just don't always know which ones need added. (it might take a little while for anything to happen - the coders are taking a bit of a break til mid-January)

I... did that last year, or so. Somewhere there should be a support ticket. Maybe I should try again? (I just checked, and it definitely does not work.)

Hmmm, I'm not seeing any vid related tickets from you in the past couple years, though if it was a response to a previous ticket and not a new ticket in itself it might have gotten lost in someone's inbox. (assuming, of course, that you're using an email address related to your name!) Or it's possible it somehow never made it through? There have been times when a deploy caused some glitchiness.

I'd try again, if you don't mind. If for some reason we can't whitelist it, at least a coder can tell us why and we might be able to find some workaround.

I went looking, and I think I may have been in contact with the vidding committe (I don't see how to search the OTW at all, but this article on streaming vids, where it says DivShare at the bottom, they're quoting me... I had a discussion with *someone* (*somewhere*, likely in the comments, as I don't have email records, but I'm not seeing comments on any OTW articles) about adding in DivShare. Er. tl;dr I should go open a support ticket...

Oh! And also thank you for the help! ♥

No problem! Hopefully we can get something worked out for you (and other DivShare users)!
