Good news everyone! The Ghoztcraft Uploader is now open to the public, which means anyone can register and use it as a personal storage service free of charge! You can upload anything you want (as long as it's legal) and your privacy will be respected as always. This service is available for the sole purpose of providing an easy place to store small files for personal or public use. It's great for uploading avatars, signatures and small downloads.

Many of you legacy members have been actively enjoying this feature of Ghoztcraft, and we thank you for your support. But we're now welcoming new registrations, and VIP Members can request the following limitations be upgraded free of charge:

Total Storage Space: 15MB
Maximum Upload: 5MB
Maximum Monthly Transfer: 5 Gigs

You can upload and organize the content into folders, and manage all of it using the interface. You will have full control over what you upload and what you delete. No backups are kept of individual accounts, what you delete is gone forever. Please also note that you will need to register and validate your email, as the accounts are not integrated with the forums and there are no plans to do so.

I just want to apologize for the delay in getting the tournament matches scheduled. We're all working hard on getting things organized, but it's a complicated process. But we have made progress, and we're looking to get the first game done today, if not, then we will by next weekend.

So, so far, we've been able to preform a successful video/audio test with the game server. And everyone else knows their place in the process for each match. We'll be broadcasting and recording each game using ustream, and we'll also be uploading every game to youtube for later viewing.

We have just a few more tests to preform and then we're good to go.

Also, I just coded up a little portal page at ushack.net for easy viewing.

Alright, it's Halloween, and it's time to get things started! Just like to say that Halloween is our Founder's Birthday! Please be sure to wish XGhozt a safe and Happy 20th Birthday!
