And yeah, if the Cellar would host images (it hosts the attachments anyway, so the storage overhead is the same) we could avoid this attachment nonsense.
Hard drives are cheap. Storage overhead is nothing. A measly T1 is ~$2,000 per MONTH. You could buy a terabyte of storage for that price. Every MONTH.

I like the fact that the attachments are shown as they are for two reasons: 1) it means there aren't a ton of images on a page that I don't want to see, and 2) it keeps Tony's bandwidth usage down (because 200 people aren't re-downloading the image every 10 minutes when they reload the thread). The Cellar is free; it's a good discussion board and it's a gift to us from Tony. I think the least we can do is find another place to host all the damn images we throw up in this thread.

Also note that Tony's pipe that he hosts the Cellar on is the same line he uses for internet access - when he gets overloaded, his personal internet access slows to a crawl.
