As I've said many times, years as a sysadmin taoght me to trust only myself for preserving All my stuff is on 80 Cds or on the 160GB external drive I bought for I've pulled favorite stuff back from CDs to the drive so I have two copies because CD-Rs do go The most important stuff is on a backup of the original C: folders on a partition of the new drive and then I have the working partitions on the new drive I've moved more stuff to as I gained confidence in the new I don't care for upload sites like Rapidshare because I don't know their economic model and whether they will continue to Also as BB points out, I constantly run across broken links that the mods have to clean I prefer stuff to be local to this board as it's very solid and well maintained and is hosted by a very solid ISP, but I still keep stuff I upload on my hard Storage is so cheap now and getting If I fill my 160GB drive up in a few years putting CDs back on it, I'll buy another drive and FireWire daisy-chain it off my current I understand the original question was already answered but I had to chime in with my image management As most of you know by now, I don't hesitate to put in my two-cents worth but that's what this part of the board is

Hi there!

With the following lines I like to encourage all members to avoid web-hosting and to avoid posting links to normal galleries or movie

There are 3 main reasons for that:

"No download for a longer Inactivity-timeout /> The moderators are busy with deleting dead links EVERY day!
And for a new member who likes to look through a thread that is already many months old it is very disappointing to see all the dead (imagine the mess after some />
Also if there is a hosted link to a file with 40 or more MB it is very dangerous to start the download, because it is highly probable that the dial-up connection breaks down before the download completes (very funny when then download is at Also it is not very funny to wait 4 or more If there are 10 single rar-files with each of 4 MB we can be totally relaxed and download the complete 40 MB movie in several />

If there are problems with how to attach files or how to create or to split zip- or rar-files, every member can absolutely feel free to describe his/her problem to a moderator or in the "chat and support"

I would be happy if you all would avoid posting hosted or other />

THIS BOARD IS PURE FUN BECAUSE IT HAS ITS OWN HD!

Do the effort and upload your stuff directly to this board please; that is a big favor to everyone and will keep our great community

I agree, Read the thread farther down on this page called IMAGE HOSTS??? - it's very

I also Just yesterday one or our best members had a multi-picture post link It was a lot of work to post that entry, and now it is gone This happens EVERY We all know that the Board will, on ocasion, eat posts and even entire topics, but you have a better chance of having your post stick if you post it using the Brouse/add attachment

Thanks lineback and butler bill!
Hopefully more members will read the lines in this thread and follow the

Just some words before I go to bed:

I just found a link to a hosted rar-file with over 100 pics of one of my favorite girls; instead of getting the pics I had to read this message: "file not found"

uploading to celebsdb's own HD = a lot of fun
hosted files = no fun at all

And what about situations where there's ?
Spend 2 hours downloading and uploading images instead of 8 seconds posting a link and saying just change the gallery number at the end?
Seems excessive to /> Why not just encourage people to report dead links when they come across them like they're supposed to do for duplicate posts and such, and assign a mod or two specifically for dealing with it if need be?

As for some of the issues raised, a download manager would solve the interrupted downloads problem, and I'm not sure I understand the preview image thing, since a forum page full of previews for uploaded images should cause the same loading problem as a gallery page full of preview images, but I would think that either could be resolved by using Firefox with certain extensions/settings so each image only loads when manually clicked to be opened in a new tab or />
I can't complain, regardless, as I'm a member of two other forums where all uploads are deleted roughly every two weeks to free up disk space, leaving literally thousands of worthless topics with people who don't understand asking why they can't see the

You've posted enough here to realize people won't flame you for a differing opinion and if they did the posts would be deleted or if less offensive, the mods would warn the That's why I spend a lot of time here - it's the best run, most civilized board I've found and I pre-date the You make some valid points but I think you miss the reason for the board - to find a safe, reliable place for material and RapidShare doesn't provide I reposted Missy's Palace Set 2 last night by request and I'll be posting Sets 3 & 4 because of expired Rapidshare Generally, once it's posted here it stays here, accessable to new members who want to view all the content on a The ISP is solid and the mods work hard to weed out duplicates and keep order, helped by members who want to keep the board Sure posting could be made easier with Perl scripts to automate the process and it would be nice to be able to access all the attachments via an SQL query or other means of direct access to the images but it's a message board and not a true database and most of us are willing to work within that I am on a medium-speed ADSL with down/384 Kbs up and I'm over 900 posts since mid-April and I don't find page loads to be more than 15 Sure page creation hogs massive CPU cycles but the server and network are fast and handle it I personally don't find the process of WinRARing a video into the requisite size pieces a problem because I use Firefox so I can stage multiple posts in different tabs as WinRAR is creating the 95% of my posts have been picture sets or videos with about a 40/60 split of the My biggest video was over 160MB and I just worked it while doing other Under the new 4MB limit it takes about 1:50 to upload a segment and I use timer software on my PDA to alert me when an attachment is almost The bad thumbnail problem has only happened to me three or four times and as gryphondo or gardwin wrote - hit the preview button before sending off a post and that won't be a I seldom do that myself as it's a very low percentage problem for We had one poster who successfully uploaded a 526MB file to the Milena thread with no Yes, he took most of a week to do it but I downloaded it in an hour and it Bottom line is you make valid points - the phpBB message board is far from the most efficient way to share large amonts of I'd love to see the images available for both upload/download from a true database via a back door but it's clean and reliable and by being a message board you can enjoy the community of the board and get to know some really neat Thanks for your well thought out

Every day we correct bad When you Preview a post and see a bad thumb, Delete that attachment and re post Problem This board defenately does have its quirks, but all in all it works pretty We are always open to new ideas, and we try to see that the discussion stays
