Authors frequently abandon their public storage accounts and good threads suffer. It is for this reason that OpenURU.org offers asset storage for which you may have an FTP account here. That way, everything on OpenURU.org can be self-contained and has archival value if people move on and leave it behind. At least the work won't be lost like so much unfortunately is on the web.Of primary concern is how all free services left unattended by people who abandon their site eventually render the content therein unusable or lost. The content hosted here is guaranteed to not get lost or its self-contained links broken simply because the person who created them thinks little of archival importance or has left to pursue other things. Just look at free upload sites like Photobucket and others and think about all those great pictorial forum discussions and other hotlinked source material websites use which are now diminished by the loss of its linked content due to abandonment and account expiration. I want people to trust that the content here will not vanish with the originator who abandoned it. It helps projects to do and include all that under one integrated domain with unfettered access.
One account per project is available. Project leaders are responsible.
There are some rules. Please see the bottom of this project application for concerns about content storage:

The gist of it is project storage is never to be used for personal storage, backup storage, or storage of data unrelated to your project. You are responsible for keeping backups of all materials on your own private systems.
