Been kicking the idea around

[DK666]

Of a free picture hosting server for the forums anyone interested ?


BTW Yes I know the bandwidth thing its not a home server it runs off a hardline. I ran the SIG and Screenie server for www.alliedaddault.com for over a year. it accounted to over 2.3 million hits a month.

Thoughts....

1. Sounds Like A Good Idea

Quite a few of us could use a service like that.

5. I need it

but won't it become porn bait?

[DK666]

7. Nope....

I set the Alliedassault.com to have overwrite protection and logged the transactions (just the incoming IP.s so we could block the porn spammers). Then once a week I scanned all the new photos/files for bad stuff.

We also set it to readback the url link to the photo so you could just cut and paste.... It was pretty sweet. At one time we were hosting over 30,000 photos.

6. That would be very useful

It would make life a lot easier for some of us.

9. works great... you are a hero

but, I think a password and email verification would be a good safety measure, don't you?
