Any interest in a Premium Membership that would allow photo attachments?

I'm guilty of posting massive photos in Dusty's photo thread. I'm sure I spurred this entire revolution. However I frankly thought the site was resizing my photos, just as so many others do, or that bandwidth simply wasn't an issue. Seems like an easy solution (auto resize). If I have to resize my pics I just won't post them. And if I have to use a third party server I won't post either, except if I want to sell something. And I'm extremely computer savvy. But I don't post from my phone. That seems like a total PITA.

I was going to quickly post something to another thread but the attachment option was gone so I didn't. I came here to figure out what happened.

Frankly, the 'do it like we've been doing for the last ten years' thing doesn't work for me. Why upgrade the site to begin with? Just leave it the way it was 'for the past ten years'. I thought the attachment option was one of the coolest upgrades about the entire site.

So you're saying $50 a month will cover it? One of the best upgrade features of the site? And the site can't spare that cash? Time to reformulate the business model or tweak the software a bit (auto resize or auto third party hosting).

A motorcycle forum that I belong to went to third party hosting after Photobucket started charging. Once we understood the issue we all began to post via third party sites. But now I haven't been over there for MONTHS.

A 1MB size limit? It's MUCH easier to third party host than it is to resize down to 1MB. All my cams take hi-def pics.

Rather than downgrade the site and inconvenience everyone, why not just ask for a 'photo hosting sponsor of the month'? You pay half, we pay half. I'll take the first month. $25? Say the word and it's on the way...

Great ideas!
We're kicking around an application/add on that might be able to fix the issue of high res photos sucking the bandwidth. Stay tuned and thank you for your support of the forum!

I think people missed this post.
We are leaning more towards other options than an optional Premium membership to host your photos.
An update is the culprit isn't just attachments (of any size). The uptick in forum usage combined with the new forum software requirements seem to be factors as well.
Stay tuned. Hope to have a resolution after a couple of months.
