This is the most flawed logic you have presented yet. When anything is
uploaded or altered it goes to the top of the recent page. And ack to
bandwith, the 100+kb non-lego pics take up MUCH more bandwidth than these

than a non-lego related image (most likely) because of the nature of the
chat pages.  That's taking up bandwidth.

And you have stats on what is being accessed how often? What takes more
bandwith... a 3kb file being accesed 25 times on a 100+kb file being
accessed two times?
