It's really nice to see what people are looking at.

top 10 only? that seems pretty small, it should be top 200 from blizzards ladder rankings. Also the yellow writing is very annoying, use a different color. sure I could high light it, but some clarity would be nice.

I may have accidently uploaded like 4 pages of replays by accident ("You can drag and drop from desktop? Really? Sick let me test this out... whoops I accidently copied them all -_-;;") because I'm an idiot, so sorry about that.

None of my tested browsers (Opera, IE8 and Firefox) supports that kind of drop.
Also the search and filter functionality of other site are way better.

If I could offer a suggestion, if I were to go to drop.sc and want to find a replay it would be very helpful to have a few filters to filter 1v1s, 2v2s (etc...), the 6 race matchups, and perhaps an identifier if this was a tourney game or bnet in the replay box (and if part of a set, which game).:

Drag & Drop feature is cool but the general style and design feels raw instead of minimalistic.
I'm afraid bigger replay sites will steal the drag&drop idea before you improve your sites look&feel. And if even one other big replay site does that , you're pretty much done.
My 2 cents...

I love this! Just adjust the way the homepage replays are displayed (so much wasted space per each replay display) and perhaps some other UI adjustments, it would be perfect. I love the drag and drop feature.

EDIT: How are the names in the "Players" list determined? I saw Artosis' name there but there doesn't seem to be any replays of him. Just wondering.

Edit: FF3.6 works. BUT When i uploaded it. And i want to move or delete the replay from MY pc, i get a message says, that Firefox is using this file and i can't delete it. WTF?

Just found a bug:
When I select a player and click on the "X public games found" it does not show the replays from the player. Instead the last replay will be shown.

Hear hear, man. Unfortunately I'm not a designer. Amongst other things, the background is way too plain, some kind of a texture would be nice.

I really dig SC2Replayed, but their site just is filled with adds, requires a registration and, to me, feels quite slow. I didn't enjoy the experience, so I feel drop.sc differentiates in other ways too. ReplayFU is also nice, but it was too simple for me. To which other sites are you referring to?

PS. ScCalendar looks really cool! You should definitely think about making a web interface for the aggregator! Could there be any chance of integrating drop.sc into it somehow? Perhaps display results from the Twitter feed?

Quick Idea: If you show the APM Graph, can you calculate the average APM for the whole game? That would be nice!

Hi

Great site, here is some feedback:

There is an option for searching player which lists all the replays from the player.

So for example I am interested in replays from player X and searching for X.

1. Maybe you could add an option for "download all in a zip/rar file"

2. Make an option so that players can upload replay packs (I know that you can highlight many replays and upload them). The difference with this option from "download all" is that i might not be interested in replays from earlier versions of the game, hence I don't want to do a "download all in zip file".

Maybe you could solve this by adding game version to the replay info and let us search for latest game version replays if that is possible?!


Great site overall!

Nice site! I like the simple form of the design but Id still prefer the textures and colors to be jazzed up a bit, as in new background and such.

And why cant I search for zerg games?

Hey! Thanks for the feedback!
1. Unfortunately this would put quite a strain on the server, so I'm not sure if this is feasible to do.

2. Not sure if I follow you here. You can currently upload replay packs by compressing the replays into a ZIP, TAR or 7z archive. When you upload the archive, replay pack is automatically generated like this. Let me know if this is not what you wanted.

Sure, I'll add build version. Thanks.

TL DR: Ignore the wall of text, add the game version number and let us search for player name + latest game version and this site is definetely my goto site for getting replays

Hey guys!

I've got a potential new background. I need to hear your opinion whether it's better than the current one.

So here's how it looks now: http://i.min.us/imuc4u.png

Added. You will see player's average APM and match APM when you hover over the name in the overall tab. Let me know if this is satisfactory.

I've added ability to add and edit a description for replay packs. See an example here: http://drop.sc/packs/40. You'll be able to edit the description when you upload your replay pack.

One more thing i noticed: If you are in the detailed View of a Match and hover over the left players name, the copy button is "over" the tooltip. See here: http://imgur.com/Jm6Xo

Happens in Chrome and IE8, so i guess its a general Problem.

(Somewhere in the back of my mind i can remember that this is an issue with Flash, if it is a generell problem you might want to reposition the tooltip somehow

Very cool. Could you also have a download counter appear on this page? Preferably in the bottom right corner of the pack's description box? That would be wonderful. And about your two backgrounds, I enjoyed the simpler original one more.

2. 5 replays per page is too little. What about 10 or 20?

Guys, I really could use some help. The servers, on which drop.sc runs, cost around 45$/mo and the ads generate only about 10-15$/mo. I've been paying everything out of my own pocket, but unfortunately I cannot support drop.sc forever.

I've received 0 donations and 1 registered pro account (huge thanks to him!) over the life of the website, which is now 8 months old.

Do you guys have any ideas on how to improve the situation? What would be something that you'd be willing to pay for? Or maybe there are some other ways to generate some income? Any help is appreciated, I'm kind of desperate here!

Perhaps draw more attention to the donate button?

I didn't know there was one. Sent you a dollar.

I wouldn't mind more advertisements either.

Do people on other forums know about drop.sc?

I have an account on the blizz forums (obviously), send me a link to the post and i'll +1 it

Yeah drop.sc is the best replay sharing site. I seriously wouldn't mind a few commercials here and there just to keep the site alive. And as roxy said, encourage people to donate.

You could ask some Webhosters if any of them would sponsor a hosting package in exchange for being mentioned on the site. The requirements for Space and Traffic shouldn't be too high I guess?

Alternatively: Do you really require a full blown server to host the site? Maybe a simple webhosting package for 10$ could handle it aswell?

I use the button, because it automatically opens my replay folder, sorted down by date modified so I can see my latest games. Just the way I do it.

As for things I'd like to add...it's all pretty good, maybe just in the replay info add another tab with a bit more about the game; the supply/tech/whatever over time. For example sometimes I go digging for replays of pros and it'd be nice for me to be able to quickly see "hmm I'll go see how he transitions from nexus first" or "oh he just died to a 2rax").

drop.sc is by far the best replay site...best of luck getting a sponsorship, if I had the money I'd help out
