I think cloud based storage has been needed for a long time in this community, Gamma's HD dying and losing his entire tagset is prime example of this.

Source control (or even just simple back ups or RAID setups) would have solved this problem. Plus provide all the goodies needed in a development environment. Changlogs, versioning, branching, etc. The Cloud is just an abstract data service, not a solution (where source control is).

That access to tags scares me.
It needs a system of valued tags to prevent leaks and salads of incoherent stuff, in the optic of a communist tags Exchanges.

I assume that this community is a micro-post-apocalyptic society, so why not to try things that could apply when crisis have ruined the world

I've 2 trash-salvaged computers :P
Ones for XDK xbox programming, and the other is for HaloCE and Halo2Vonly.
Never had a harddrive crash, because those computers were made to do only one thing.

You should also keep downloads, music and the page file on a harddrive separate from the system drive, so all that disorganization doesn't fragment the harddrive or just-plain-old-ruin-the-consistency.

Just get SSD - no problems :)

hekaio ftw?

Aside from that whole limited read/write lifetime :3

If you want to store something for more than a few years, get a USB stick and store it in a vacuum bag. Then it'll last forever ;)

not a hard drive alternative, this is something youll use day in day out, which is hy ssds havent overtakn the ole header and disc

despite them being better in almost every other way

1.5 TB HD, 7200 RPM- 60$ before flooding
64 GB SSD, SATA III, 1,200,000 guarantee-107$

SSDs are insanely expensive atm.

Just get a 1TB external harddrive with USB 3.0 if you need extra space... thats what I did.

what? your xfire username is the same as it is on this forum sure.
you are working with these guys to make it you mean?
i think you mean you would like to use it when it is finished tho.

edit: if it is finished.

People need your USERNAME to add you on Xfire, not your NICKNAME. Plus you're clearly an imposter posing as Cran, so please kindly stop posting. ;)

Cran's a very inactive xfire user. HIS username is sshers1.

Cran's immature but nowhere near as immature as the guy here. If it really is him, I'm disgusted at the change of behaviour.

Any updates on this at all?

Ha, your kidding right? This thing has been dead for months. Actually, to be fair it was never really alive.
