One thing that does worry me about the new system is this part of the
message: ‘without reducing functionality for free users’. The current system
for free users wastes disk space and bandwidth, as well as the nerves and
time of people using BS. Without a change to this system I would find it hard
to justify me paying $60US a year in order to allow these idiots to waste my
time (and up until this point I have been donating regularly so I’m not just
trying to be cheap).
This is not really a criticism of Kevin as he has made a system which allows
people to post what they like. This system has, unfortunately, been abused
(and that abuse supported to a degree) by ignorance, laziness and stupidity.
I would really like to see free users forbidden from uploading any images
with a filesize greater than 256Kb. That size still allows people to post
accurate and clear images of their work but stops the pointless 2048x1568
barely compressed straight-from-the-camera rubbish that everyone I have
spoken to about it are sick of.
Please, please, please let this be done as a service for all users, paying or
otherwise, and if not for them as a service to BS itself to reduce its costs.

I tend to agree with Tim. Limit free users to X amount of space. Disallow .bmp
files. Maybe add some new functionalities for featured account holders. I’ll
be one of them.

| (...) I've been busy and pretty much unable to post for most of the BS 'drama' but would like to chime in now. Firstly I'd like to extend my thanks to Kevin for providing this service for so long. It has been one of the 'constants' in the AFOL (...) (17 years ago, 20-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
