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

For Aria's Brithday

Nice job Wayne....and I'm sure it will look even nicer once it's all finished and colored. :D

Members can only upload in here, and I think the off-topic forums.

Why is that Roger? I think if possible we should give everyone the same possibilities to post pictures. Till now I hadn't been aware that this wasn't the case.

Surely you haven't forgotten the huge debate that came up when members couldn't upload at all because if all of them did we'd use up our alloted space (16mb for free) too quickly.

If I'm going to remove the restriction, some of the older stuff will have to go.  I think we've used somewhere around 70% of our space and I really don't think we need to use an external image host.


edit: We're at 75% full and most of that comes from all of the attachments.  We have about 4.5 mb left in reserve so we don't need to immediately delete anything, but if some members go nuts with no restrictions, then they will go back on.

edit 2: Regular forum members can upload in the following sections:  Any of the LBT sections, The Fridge, Silver Screen, Party Room (but not the subforums), After Midnight.

Ouch. I forgot about that.
I may have to check out some of my messages with attachments or images that nobody is ever going to look at anyway in order to make free some space. Clearing the images out of older "Caption This" threads might also make some free space.
