| 217179 | 2004-02-21 10:38:00 | Hands up if anyone wants a pressf1 hub *hamstar raises hand Sheez, I'm probably gonna get flamed for this one but.... What if its just a plain chat hub, no shares (eg. min share 10000GB etc) It would be the kick@ss helphub, people wouldn't be there unless they were chatting cos theres nothing to download there (which would also stop bad reflections on PCW or PressF1 or IDG ;-)) I think it'd be cool. Who else uses Direct Connect here? Cos I went to chatf1 and it was a graveyard man. ...I mean think of it, instant answers... |

| 217180 | 2004-02-21 11:07:00 | There's already a hub or two run by PF1'ers. Why not just use ChatF1? If people really wanted to be available for instant help 24 / 7, they'd sign into Chatf1! As for shares, I have an 80GB HDD, but have managed to share well over 160GB in some hubs. That "min share" is useless with the right know-how! I dont mean to be a kill-joy, but why not just use Chatf1? Chill. |

| 217181 | 2004-02-21 11:30:00 | I'll have to visit chatf1 when its day... I buggered up the min share thing didn't I? That would stp anyone getting in unless they had 10000GB. You don't have the addy's for those hubs do you? |

| 217182 | 2004-02-21 11:34:00 | No, no.... The Min Share thing is fine, but its useless on ANY hub with the right knowledge, your can have a massive share list.... Right Cyberchuck? Im sorry, but I dont have any addy's, havent been to any hubs in a while :-) Dont mean to dampen your spirits, but yeah.... Chill. |

| 217183 | 2004-02-21 12:13:00 | But realistically how many people can have the time to just sit there waiting to answer something for someone? Then if you log in after someones asked a question you never see it... I should probably stop now. |

Cheating to raise the size of your share list is quite easy on Linux, so I understand; and while you can do the same thing in Windows using one of two methods that are inbuilt into Windows (try "subst /?" in the command line, or else investigate mounting partitions in empty folders, which is only supported by NTFS), I personally ran into a limit of ~17GB using .PhantomDC++. Enough said, I had set up enough virtual drives and mounts to go over a 200GB share list, but PDC (or something about the same content being shared over and over, or another obscure reason) caused it to be limited to 17-odd GB. You could probably ban people with a share list over 0B (it would defeat the purpose of running a DC hub, but it could be a useful feature for some people), as an alternative. However, enough of this rambling. Like it was pointed out, in a DC hub you do not see messages that were sent before you login; in ChatF1 you can to a certain extent. Admittedly, it seems like ChatF1 has passed it's hey-day, but people do still use it (most notably when PressF1 goes down), though admittedly it seems ChatF1's use has dropped even in those time periods. |
