1. Cliff u need another job. 2. You can do the advertisement thing, it looks decent, and its how juno use to do it when it was free. 3. Only people who have paid membership,(an affordable $10 a month), are allowed to post. 4. Cut off internet people from viewing the forum, and only limit to the people who come here now. 5. Sell your soul to the devil
Cliff, this happened to another guys forum http://www.turboford.com
that i go too, and he is telling everyone to really really limit posting and use the search function, and only specific things can be posted.
Cliff , good luck, and i dont want to lose U and all these people on here, and this forum. Theres a lot of info here.

If I down load PIP and upload pictures what stops me from linking them from other web sites? |

That will only work for a few days. I wrote a program that periodically removes images that are not linked to from the forum.

That's cool, we had a problem like that. Stopped them cold, nothing worse than a smart-ass that wants a free ride.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned or not, but... Instead of just doing ONE thing here to 'fix the problem', why not do several? First thing is to identify the actual problem: usage of bandwidth. Solution one: eliminate the uploading of pictures here - serve your own, or post them elsewhere.
Solution two: eliminate sig's that use graphics. Sure, they're not big, but when they get re-transmitted a zillion times a day that's GOTTA add up!
Solution three: Your ads. Post 'em up. Bring 'em on. We've been enjoying a free ride till now. You all know the bumper sticker from the 60's (so I won't repeat it here, ahem). If you/we treat this board like a person and give it a 'budget' you/it should be able to come out OK. Little bit here, little bit there.. cut, trim... done. As am I.

Cliff another question, why not just require a login to view the forum and pictures posted?
I would not be opposed to putting in a user ID and password every time I come here.

I've been a member here for almost 2 years. I would be more than willing to make a donation, if you choose that route, not for the right to continue using it but as payment for the use and help I've gotten from it. I visit this forum on a daily basis. I do not care what type of banners you put up. If they are the type that pay you per click I will be more than happy to click on them every time I visit to help you get money. -Charlie
