Jason if i may ask,how is the monthly cost for the site? do they have a yearly pricing where you can pay by the year and it cheaper? and for pic hosting is there a set price for a certain amount of storage besides the credit thing?

The home page where I host pics and do everthing but forums is priced monthly, 6 months or a year. I have been paying every 6 months plus paying for extra bandwidth. Thats how I'm able to host the pic avatars and such.
the domain name runs around $20 a year. I know it can be registered cheaper but I havent had any trouble with these people so I have stuck with them. The home page is $24 every 6 months wich is what I pay ($42 for a year), depending how much bandwidth we use it is $5=3gigs and $9=9g extra a month. Some months I dont use extra bandwidth. The bandwidth starts disapearing if someone is hot linking to our site and using the photos on theirs. For example if someone here links an avatar to another forum from their pic on our site it uses our bandwidth up. I actually disabled the right click feature on the forums so you cant hot link here but I'm unable to do it to the home page still. There is a way to pay and get direct hosting on the forums so you dont have to host elsewhere but I didn't wanna pay for that too. (I guess I'm just cheap). I can enable it and if someone donates with the link that will appear we can do that. Its somewhere around $2 a month for 20mb bandwidth. hope that answers yur question

I looked into the pic hosting thing on here and from what I can tell is if you click the link at the bottom of the page that says "for ad free click here" is where you buy credits. You actually buy the credits for ad free forums but instead of applying them toward ad free I can apply them toward the attachment feature. So I guess if someone donates to it I'll turn it on if not we can keep doing what we are doing.

if your not having a problem hosting pics or how things are being done then it should probable remain the same, it is your dollar being spent at this point! if you PM me your address i would be willing to send some money to help pay for whatever. and im sure alot of other people would be willing to do so also for the effort you put into this site!

the only advantage of having the attachment available on here is I dont have to download, resize, download again and post for people. But yur as for right now I just been doin it this way for being simpler to pay.
