Think we seriously need to NOT attach uploads/downloads to the forum, or allow multiple content posts (Immediately after one another>>ALL IN A SHORT TIME PERIOD), because they are easy ways to run up bandwidth bills.
External links are one thing, but attaching things through the forum is completely different.
Although I appreciate Ibexx and Connor posting stuff, they seriously could cause an expensive hosting bill uploading multiple things each day, as well as people downloading them directly from the forum host.
Locking down rules about this sooner rather than later will also help avoid issues in the future.
Also, another personal gripe of mine, why does each piece of content need to be in a separate post? Really?? If you are sharing six things, share all of them at once!! IN ONE POST. Same issue as above, bandwidth, and also keeping threads from exploding into huge pages of posts, all by a single user. I know people want to track their likes/shares, but seriously EGO should have nothing to do with SHARING, and this is exactly why I spoke up about these issues on raz (and began huge derails about them).
Roy, thanks for creating this place, but this seriously could become an expense I don't want you to endure (and one that I sadly cannot help alleviate -excepting by speaking up).
