That's why I posted the list, because my 120 gig hard drive is getting lonely :(

;)

I don't know how many each site gives... I give out 15 megs of image space with more given upon request...

I hope I never see you bitching about geocities or I will get pissed :p

We're trying to provide a service to anandtech (actually I just want my server to get some use outta it)...

I mean there are a lot who use the services, and I'm hoping to get the word out that there is more than one, and they're all at your disposal...

You mean a subdomain that has a link to all our hosting services or a subdomain comprised of one hosting service?

I think it'd be ok to have pictures.anandtech.com and have it linking to all of the current (and future) hosting services...

do remember though, if you associate it with anandtech (such as a domain name) there obviously couldn't be swearing/flashy women in most of the pics... (if a mod wouldn't allow it here, chances are we wouldn't be allowed to do such a thing w/our hosting services...

that'd get to be a lot of work... I'd have to let others gain access to my server in case something bad does go up so someone can take it down if necessary (and very promptly)

that's the downside.

I can see your point. What are you hosting it off of? How many IP's do you have? Could you set up a mirror site that is just for anandtech?

BTW It has to be PICS.anandtech.com - just too fitting to be otherwise.

If I ever find somewhere with a lot of space (besides the 1TB of government owned websocae that I probably shouldn't use for that purpose) then I might put up a site, I have all the scripts for it :)

Oh, the Moron of the Day site will up in a few days :)

only way to get around that would be to have a check for every submitted picture... that could get old..... hmm or they could have in the agreement when you sign up for it, that if you host a pictures containing [whatever], you will automattcially be given a 2 week ban first offense, month ban second, permanent ban 3rd.... just some suggestions

Or you could be given the ultimate knowledge ... The Mod list - and just give them access to monitor it.

Paulson, your thing looks just like the pics.bbzzdd.com.

I was banned from bbzzdd... :( We were having a bit too much fun over in Rallispec's forums with the 18+ forum... :eek:
