Back to this discussion . . .
I realize we aren't "too" concerned with file space or bandwidth or anything. However, I, and many others, have just always made it a practice to host our files elsewhere and link them into the .org. I for one, have gone through many ISP changes or ISP name changes, and have made a point to copy all files to the new ASP, and change all old threads to point to the new. Yes, it's a pain, but I've done it anyway.
Sure, there's the possibility that others won't do that. However, there's also the possibility that we could have a crash someday, like we had in the past, where we lost ALL pictures that had been uploaded to the .org. So really, we could lose files either way.
With that in mind, do we want to start suggesting to people to ONLY upload files to the .org, instead of linking?
Only asking, cause when I posted my pics here yesterday, noR and I had a discussion (In my picture thread, no less) about that very subject.
I'll probably delete the thread and recreate it, as that's not what a picture thread should be about. But anyway, just want to see where we stand. Only upload? Let people do what they want?
