The map must be in A fileshare. It doesnt have to be in yours. Trust me.

Umm, if you have a file in a File Set, it will never go away, even if it isn't in a file share.

um, yes it will eventually be deleted. do you even bother reading the post JUST before yours?

I know 100% exactly what I am talking about. If the file is not in a fileshare, it will not be available for DL. If you place the file in a file set, then delete it from your fileshare, it will temporarily still be downloadable, but definitely, 100% not permanently. Like I already said, Bungie does sweeps of these files without homes on a fairly consistent basis. They even mentioned cleaning all these files out VERY recently in a weekly update.

Don't try to argue this, because I know precisely how the system works, how to get around the system (its only temporary), what works, and what doesnt work.

trust me.

EDIT:

Switching gears to the Bungie.net side of things, The Wolf came calling earlier in the week to give me the heads up about some content maintenance we'll be running real soon. Turns out there are an estimated 50 million orphaned Halo 3 screenshots that are on the verge of being sent out to pasture (that means we’re gonna delete ‘em).

You don’t need to freak out about the stuff in your File Share. That’s all safe and sound. And your screenshot gallery is cool too. The only files we’re looking to take down are those that no longer have a home. Sometimes that means they’re attached to a File Set without being in a File Share proper. It might mean that they’re only accessible from a unique URL. Either way, if they ain’t in a File Share or a Screenshot Gallery, they’re a-going bye bye.

If you have stuff that needs savin’, your computer’s hard drive is the only suitable refuge. Save soon and save often. It just makes good old fashioned common sense.

this has been confirmed, through testing by many people, to apply to all files, not just screenshots.

Imagine that you're holding a house party with a table of six different kinds of beers in large kegs with an infinite supply of beer. People go to it, get beer, and go mingling off and do things that people normally do with beer. Now, you want to put a new keg of beer on the table. However, the table is full! So you have to take off one of the old kegs to be able to put on the new one. So now, people can't drink from the old beer keg (because who would be able to dispense beer from a keg off of the ground?).

The table is your fileshare, the beer kegs are your maps (or other content), and the people wanting to get beer are the people wanting to download your maps (or other content).

Nemi that was a horrible analogy, he is saying he is fileshare banned, as he is too weak to ever put anything on the table. just make another account/ table

who the hell puts a keg on a table?!? You've clearly never tried to lift a keg. tables are for beer pong, or other drinking games.

i think this thread has ran its course. if you have any questions, PM me.
