I would suggest to keep it the way it is now and then wether really any of those "laziness and other" fears would happen. |

a little remark..
Just to make it clear: CSDb is NOT trying to kill off ftp-sites or anything.
In fact, if some ftp-admins out there would want it, I would be happy to discuss with them how to make an export or whatever of the files uploaded to CSDb in any given structure based on the info, to put on the ftp-sites.
(Currently there has been uploaded 10585 unique files) |

now that sounds like a good idea to me... should be easy enough to automatically rename them according to whatever ftp sites standard and upping them there (preferably on more than one ftp site for redundancy) |

Thanks for clearing that up, Perff. The thing is, even though CSDb doesn't aim for it (and I never honestly believed that this might be the case), that's what, to a degree, is happening at the moment.
However, as Groepaz said, exporting the files for an FTP site or two sounds like a good idea.
Any FTP admins around? =D

It would be a cool feature if the file was accompanied by a text file containing a text printout of the meta-info. Maybe just put it all into a zip?
Sure, the meta-info will loose it's links, but it's probably useful to have this if something gets lost and someone needs to re-add it somewhere (here?). |

Well, here we go.
I didn't follow the complete discussion due to lack of motivation, but will, since there seems a real demand, fix a few things and extend ftp.pokefinder.org this weekend.
So my 2 cent is - keep it like it is. :)
Btw, last days of October 119 requests were made and up til now 182 requests in November. If it someday exceeds some 10 or hundred thousand requests coming from csdb we might consider changing the strategy here. :)

Errm... but you do realize that once there's updates made to the CSDb entry, that won't be reflected in your "meta-info" file since you won't find a single FTP administrator who will zip up all files with "new" information on a regular basis, yes? =D
besides... re-add? hello? There are BACKUPS of CSDb. |

As far as I know, there are no backups of the hosted files. |

Not only did I realize it, I also wrote a comment about it in my post. ;)
The text-file would primarily be useful to remedy part of the problems with ftp-archives. If nobody wants it we can just do like it is now on all the current ftp-sites, i.e make the filename from stripped down meta-info.
I'm just providing friendly suggestions here... :) |

See it this way; He welcomed you with a friendly "hello" to this round ;) |
