Is there any way to view all the pics?

That is what I was thinking, it looks like only the most recent 25 are available to view. If so, that is not a good thing.

Not yet, but post your suggestions and I am sure sully will add them. I can help out too if you need sully.

Why would you want to see all the pics? People will link them as needed I'm sure. ;)

Well, my idea of the site is really a private member site, where people upload pictures for their personal use and link here. The recent page is just to keep things a little bit interesting and keep people honest (we're watching!). The point was never to make an exhaustive list of pictures from all users for strangers to browse through.

Is that something that would be cool/welcome? Would only take ten minutes flat to code. Maybe I can add that in as a member-only function.

that would be cool snuller ;)


Would also be easier to prevent pr0n pics....
 

Come to think of it, I think it would be overkill making it a image gallery site. I say keep it as is.

after I have considered it.

Well, we now have 75 users registered and activated. We've broken 600 MB in picture data transfers to date with no catastrophic problems yet. Speed seems good, no downtime issues. IP tracking is now finally enabled within the site's scripts themselves. Things appear to be going quite well.

We'd ask that users restrain from posting nude shots, since the simple popularity of the pictures and the thorniness of the issues that can result (eg. Is the chick in this shot legal?) can screw us over big. It really sucks that any restrictions have to be placed at all, but under current circumstances, has to be done.

Thanks for your cooperation, and let the babe threads roll! :)
 

Small update. The site is going great, no major incidents. Keep in mind that the site was originally intended as pic hosting site for the Anandtech forums. Now I don't mind people using the site for tagline images for other forums, as I have seen. However, if I see something lewd like say, pics of nude chicks on bicycles being linked to from another site, I might get upset and deny all referrals from said site.

If things really get at of hand I can play the bad guy and totally restrict access to only the Anandtech forums. I don't want to do that. I just ask that everyone realize that I am doing this as a favor and I don't need my ISP harassing me for using excess bandwidth.

Enjoy! :)
