file sharing

[Quadrider10]

i had an idea, or maybe a future update for the forum. how we private message and such, i thought that being able to send files back and forth to eachother would kinda be kool.that way we dont have to upload it to some other website or email it. just select file and upload or send to them. we cold send pics, istructions, or just general stuff ppl may need if someone else has it.

no good,
i could see this as an avenue for spammers to use as porn sharing and virus/malware spreading

ohh i dident think of that...... damn... well it was a good idea lol

ohh i dident think of that......

thats why we discuss things, to get everyone's ideas/opinions, maybe i'm being overly cautious ?
but only because i know what goes on in other file sharing sites...limewire, utorrent, ect. ect.

yea i dont blame you. i use utorrent all the time and a few other dl sites. never had any problems.... but thats also because im really cautious on what i download.

so you see what i'm saying then.... we could end up with an influx of new members who are only here to share files, and nothing about blasters/atv's

if you want to implement something like this, have a look at DropBox, its sort of the same thing

Another problem is storage size. Servers have a limitted amount of storage, so having tons of members upload things would fill it up fast. It's a good concept, but not for this site. As Blaner said, check out Dropbox, it's an easy way to share files.

Yea Ivw tried Dropbox before, and I don't really like them. Idk y. I figure file no more then like 5mb. Or 2mb. Like justenoygh like docs or something. Ahhh whatever. It was just an idea.
