Off Topic Discussion

So does anyone suggest somewhere other than naughtymachina to post movies, I don't feel like reducing the quality of mine, and no I don't want to have to create a share site, so if you know somewhere I can host large 200+ mb files without becoming a member, let me know and I'll post my old LLC vids.

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).

PTR :EDIT: Another question: I see you deleted some threads during the latest changes. I see you deleted Sara2008's comic thread Is it ok to create your own threads for some of your stuff? What I mean is I would like to have my own thread for my movies. And I think Xalas and Caligula would like to have their own threads too...

It was not me that deleted thread. This was done with out me being told and my models I up loading in the model section are gone. I took them right out the model dir. when I uploaded them.

I sure hope Sara, conner, reuploads their work and as far as people having their own threads ...remember this. this is our home...
I seek no problem with this.

Darkskkull. If you want to upload your movies here then by all means do so.

Bob1725. I told IBExxx he can have is own thread and he can load as much and lot as a time as he wants. He can upload 1000 textures a day if he wants/

I pay for this forum!

by the way.Welcome all and I hope you enjoy your home.

Hey Roy,

It's not about Ibexx doing a bunch of content posts... I'm all for content. My issue is the Attach feature of the forum. It's going to be uploading and downloading a bunch from your forum, and also costing for hosting bandwidth that way. I wanted to make certain you were aware of the costs involved, especially with people mass posting like Connor and dimisd are doing.

I also HATE multiposts all within minutes of one another. Example: I was ON the forum watching new posts being created by dimisd every 3 minutes... Seriously, I check threads for NEW posts. This scews the whole thing up (following threads) when someone posts things immediately after their own posts. I don't think multiple shares in one post is too big a thing to ask, and that people not string multiple posts of theirs on whole pages. I'd be less opposed to a 1 (share) post per day limit than people dominating entire threads with single shares.

So, the rules say all images and files need to be on a third-party host, but from the above, it sounds like it's okay, Roy. I just want to make sure what is okay and what's not.

Also, if we have to use third-party, it may be hard for me to post. I really can't afford a subscription to most upload sites right now. Does anyone have any tips on good free file/image hosters that will not go nuts over adult content?

I am happy to follow any guidelines that help improve the speed of the forum and keeps any possible costs at bay.

imgbox.com seems to be a good image hoster.

I agree imgbox is about as good as it gets as far as outside pic hosting goes, and the way I use it there are NO adverts or other nonsense, BUT I would like to point out that uploading direct to the forum is one way of making sure that your collection of pics are not deleted and always available as long as the forum is online, that was one of the things that I liked about the garden...

Roy, where are your models? I have not had time to download them :?

[Roy]

Beatles, Oz70NYC deleted them all

If I had them I'd upload them again but I don't.
Beatles have you heared from XXXblack, al-dor, The dude with the baby avatar "forgot his name" Boom, TheWonderer, Felix, ann25, morotaika and the rest of them? I'd love to see them here.
