The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I don't see how anyone can offer unlimited storage, but I logged in today to check on a avatar for another forum and photobucket says I now have unlimited storage for free because I'm a fanatic of photobucket.

Huh?  :huh:  :huh:

Since when was I a power user?

But anyhow....I can't be the only one...how many here have this new "unlimited" account?

Yep... same here. Odd. XD I've had my normal account for around six years but yeah... I wouldn't consider myself a power user either.

If it's really true, I should try uploading the near 1,000 photos I took on my Eurotrip last year. Would be a convenient place to store them and an interesting way to test this "unlimited" account. XD

It will be interesting to see if it is a permanent thing or a temporary one that they'll do something later with.

^ Funny you say that, Pterano...my account is pretty old too...six years and about four months.  They say they've removed restrictions on all free users.

I've noticed this too. It said I can upload unlimited images and 500 videos. But when I click on a video to upload it, the upload doesn't start. The videos I want to upload are all 1 gb or less (anywhere from 986 to 450 MBs). Only videos I can upload are a few seconds long, and those were scraps for videos I was making.
