all right I have deleted 265 attachments to postings. I figure this is the board loss not mine. I got tired of playing the game
to post only to find out after 15 up loads none came through.

So now in the future I will not post any of My award wining Mopac Passenger cars to the forum.

Got the "new" Flickr notice of their revised user agreement the other day from SmugMug...haven't read it yet...figured I'd pick up a tube of KY-jelly before reviewing the revised Terms & Conditions, lol...

That's what I was working woith until they started the monthly harassment - I think that they've just forgotten about you, :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


I wouldn’t say I escaped Scott free! I pay $7.00 a month and that’s $84 a year for storage and hosting.

I just don't do that sort of thing enough anymore to make even the $84 value for money, let alone the $400 PB suddenly tried to hold me hostage for. If Faecesbook can be "free" in return for Little Tiffany allowing herself to be available for advertisers, I can't understand Photobucket's suddenly telling me to "stand and deliver", other than they feel they could rake in more unchallenged by so doing. Too bad for them.

I just counted. I have an entire fifty images on here in total at an average of 800Kb per, so pretty much bailing with a thimble. I can't even justify the $85 a year to host a mere 40Mb (wouldn't make a dent in a $10 thumb drive) and this is the only train forum I frequent with the odd photo. Lots of folks don't third-party photos in a volume that makes it worthwhile as another bill, let alone a flat-rate tariff.

I wonder if there is a way to buy a cheap sub-terrabyte external memory, leave it on all the time, and use it as a host so long as the power to it stays on.

Oooooh, I bet that bobbed off Garand is a brutal little ****** to shoot! (I can say shit but I can't say "bass turd"? God, what an uptight people the Americans can be! Grin!)

I love the M1 Carbine up under the BAR, though. Fond memories of those little guys...

Don't get me wrong, though. I'm not taking the piss out of you because you do subscribe. For you it makes perfect sense.

Its a matter of perspective though. I hope the guys who are cheesed off, pulling their photos, and swearing they won't post again think about the fact what they are pulling might fill a cheap thumb-drive so it's largely symbolic. Meanwhile, these hosting services don't realise that free hosting for all those little guys who play perhaps a gig or two apiece is wide open, and you would think thousands upon thousands of them would make a broad marketing platform for advertisers. Works for the social media...

Meanwhile, I have to wonder where all the capacity here really went. Surely the builds posted here really don't need to get yanked in favour of keeping the crap unvetted over in the "Lounge"? Meanwhile, what I post I try to remember to resize to 800k or so; plenty big enough for a monitor and leaves some room for the next guy.

More than double what I was paying. :shock:

I went over to the "club" forum to see if maybe I wasn't really the token liberal around here. Did not see any interesting stuff, and no photos. Did I miss the proper forum?

Painfully obvious that you are not

Did not see any interesting stuff, and no photos.


Really? I post a picture every day if not more.

Did I miss the proper forum?


Apparently so.

I had 108 that I deleted. Now you want a hoot to shoot. Try a beawolf 50 cal. It’s an ar15 based 50 cal. I don’t shoot much as they all crack and ammo is no longer made. I should sell off my ammo and convert to a 308 or 223.
I spend entirely too many hours a day tying my shoes
