5 Golden Rules:
1.) Functionality - Do not start new posts in the bootleg sections without a file attached to it. Please check that the file hasn't already been posted by someone else before posting. Use the "Bootleg Discussion" section for chatting.
2.) Organization - Format all new bootleg post subjects as follows (put dates in U.S. format):
Complete Bootlegs:
Country - Event/Venue, City/State/Location - Date
Example 1: USA - Emo's, Austin, TX - July 25, 2003
Example 2: UK - Reading Festival - December 6, 1998
Single Songs:
Song Title - Event/Venue, City/State/Location - Date
Example 1: Wildsurf - Astoria, London - 1998
Example 2: Sneaker (Video) - Koko, London - July 4, 2007
Please try your best to be consistent. Moderators may edit your post for consistency.
- Include a setlist of what is on the bootleg in your post if it is zipped up.
- Include a quality rating (1-5, where 5 is soundboard quality) in any new bootleg post.
- Include the bitrate of the bootleg files (ex. 192kbps).
3.) Community - Try to contribute something (The more you upload, the better the board will get!), thank people for posting files, and be nice =)
4.) Relativity - Everything you post must have to do with Ash in some way. The only exception to this rule is in the Suggestions, Comments, & Questions forum. Looking to chat with Ash fans about anything that you want to? Try the Gashed Forums instead.
5.) Legal - The posting of illegal or copyrighted material may lead to a permanent ban of your IP address and username. Do NOT post album tracks, b-sides available on singles, other artists' copyrighted remixes of Ash, or anything else that can be easily purchased.

Here is a list of supported file types for uploading bootlegs at The Ash Files and my comments/recommendations for each one:

- zip - highly encouraged.  You can zip up flac files or any other formats you'd like.  What is .zip? Click here.
- rar - for those of you who want an alternative to .zip for some reason.  What is .rar? Click here.
- mp3 - most common format for audio.  It's best to compress them to a .zip or .rar and post 1 single file.
- flac - notice that these are indeed encouraged!  It is encouraged to .zip the files and just upload that .zip.  What is .flac?  Click here.
- wma - if that's all you can get...
- wmv - great for videos.  It's slightly smaller in size than .avi and can be played on pretty much any computer.
- avi - better for videos, a little larger than .wmv, may need a codec to play depending on how it is encoded
- mpg & mpeg - larger file size, usually better quality
- flv - These are flash video files if you guys want to upload things directly from some flash only website such as YouTube, or some sites that post videos in shockwave format to drastically reduce filesize and prevent leeching -- needs a codec to play in most players though
- jpg, gif, png, bmp, txt - for you guys to upload supplements to the bootlegs such as artwork or a text file with the set/description/credits/etc...

Donation Information
I've put a good bit of my own money into creating this website. If you could donate a small amount of money to cover costs, I would really appreciate it. I'll upgrade you to a Premium Member as well, which doesn't mean anything more than status right now (and you can post to the calendar), but will be noted in the future as the board grows and gives new members someone experienced to turn to to ask questions. I will try to upgrade regular members of the Ash Board to premium member anyway, especially if they've contributed in the past. Please include your Username in the "Purpose" field. Thank you. ~FireSka
