Should I remove my Hotties Gallery?

PBase was meant to be a photography site where people can subscribe and upload photos they have taken. I personally use it as a picture storage where I can upload anything I ever wanted to share.

My first "Hottie" gallery was just pictures of Elisha Cuthbert, I've just admired her beauty, so I put them up. Since then, its grown into a desktop girl wallpaper gallery. Then I uploaded hundreds of pictures of Next Door Nikki. Then the assgirl came into play, I just uploaded her a couple of minutes ago, and I began to wonder about the ethics of my hottie gallery. Since NDN/Assgirl is pretty close to soft-core porn, I'm feeling abit guility about what I've uploaded.

Now then, I do upload pictures I've taken. Its great for doing that, and its by far, one of the best services I've paid for. I do want to share the Hotties gallery, but I feel like I'm in violation of what PBase was meant to be, a picture gallery for photographers.

Now, I know some of you may enjoy the pictures, and thats great, thats what it was meant to do, but can you honestly vote and take in consideration what PBase was originally about? It certainly isn't about softcore porn. Then again, I'm also paying for the service. Also take into consideration the bandwidth I'm using.

You have 21 galleries and 867 images online.
These pages have been viewed a total of 558553 times.
Your photos are using 167 Megabytes of storage space.
On average, your photos use 198 KB each.

I have 200mbs for now, and thats currently fine. But according to my calculations...

558,000 (hits) x 200 (kb) = 116,600,000 kb = 116.6gb of bandwidth!

Thats crazy!

I've decided to remove the link from my sig (though, you can still find it if you actually tried), so I'm not just trying to get attention to the site, I'm just asking an ethical question.

Do you feel since I'm paying for the service, I should be able to upload whatever I want? Or do you feel that I am against the principles that the PBase service was created for?

Thanks

EDIT: Removed from the sig for as long as this post is being replied too ;)

Technically I've been a member for a little over 2 months... October 4th 2004.

Though, I can assume most of it came from NDN which was uploaded November 5th.

Either you attract some converts via the porn, or you spend $10/month or whatever to host pictures that no one will see.

Sorry, but porn is the answer; are you sure you are askign the right question?

Uh, I suppose some are, and some aren't.

The NDN gallery are probably the only copyrighted photos, some pictures have her webaddress on the bottom.

Alright, thanks guys :)

I've put the thing back in the sig, and I guess i'll keep it until I get a complaint from the PBase staff or other PBase members.

Haha glad to see you saved all of the webcam pics. I don't think she has them up anymore, so your site is the only archive, lol.

I had them zipped up for a while, I just didn't bother uploading them until now. My buddy wanted to see it, and the site I got it from before has taken them down or something, so I just figured I might as well upload it to my own.

Shes a very beautiful girl. Too bad shes not very modest, I would DIE if I knew any of my GFs posed like that.

You never know!

I didn't want people whining/complaining because they stepped into my gallery and got in trouble at work. People are too careless and too stubborn to admit to their own mistakes, so they blame it on others.

Agreed and good idea to clarify none of those are not work safe, just found it funny :)
