I'm hoping we don't end out losing all the images around this place. Eye-candy is one of the delights of coming by...

I am not suggesting that anyone delete their images from their posts, but if people could be a little bit more aware of how much space their images use, we won't get through the current data allocation quite so quickly...

Many thanks for the support and offers of help with financing the expansion in data.
I think the proboards software works well - it is much better at keeping out spam than any of the free Forum Software I have tried to use in the past..
I personally don't find the adverts that distracting and proboards have an odd way of paying for ad-free in that you basically pay for ad-free views and after they run out the ads come back... Also it seems to be for a set period - so 50,000 page views will cost you $8 for a month which seems a lot for a minor inconvenience.
So, I think we should run a small fund raiser to cover the cost of the extra storage for images - it is currently costs S6 a month for 800mb and we have used 460mb at the moment. If people who have offered could chip in $5 then we could cover the costs for this year and next with some room for expansion.
paypal to
mike@blackhat.co.uk
with a comment on the payment of Little Wars Revisited
is probably the best method of paying, and I will total up the amount that comes in and let everyone know what is in the kitty and give an annual update of what has been spent so everyone knows where we are.
Many thanks and I'm pleased that everyone is enjoying the community here as much as I am...

Hi Mike,
Just to clarify, is this a PayPal payment we're talking about? If so, just to save any problems, as it has your business address of Black HaT, do we send it via family and friends or for services received.
I only ask because a friend got into problems when he asked for f&f - PayPal were funny with him as he should have gone for services received!!!!
Also, I presume we can pay in £
Best wishes Dave

Money sent. $10 CAD which turned into 5 pounds and change. Where was this sort of exchange rate when I was buying figures?
