Thanks to all of your great posts, we have filled up all the disk space allotted to us for the WG board. Starting tomorrow, I am going to auto archive material that's older than 120 days. You will still be able to access the older posts, but you will not be able to respond to them or start a thread from one of the old messages. It was either that or completely delete posts over a year old, and I didn't want to do that.
Best, T68 |

So just how many megs of disk space have we chewed up since day one, Tiger68?

If there's 2839 registered users, and if you estimated 800 postings average per user, and estimated 4kb per posting, we'd have used ~10Mb (it's big in Neuromancer terms). But then there's the galleries. Maybe someone is using the WGB to host pron?

How much space is allotted to us, Tiger?
----------------------------- "It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers. Then it is a great power, and fights small powers, but pretends that they are great powers, in order to rekindle the ashes of its ancient emotion and vanity. After that, the next step is to become a small power itself." --GK Chesterton, "Heretics" |

Of course! The galleries!
So if a picture is worth a couple thousand k then maybe those holiday snaps should go first? |

I will delete the Paris meeting photos the week end, so anyone who wants them should grab them now.
Later I will delete the food photos, but those at least have a thread. José Names. Numbers. Held as though they might be a map, a map back out of the underground. |

Right, I just deleted a few of my less important pictures. (But I left my avatar and the Tokyo pictures. They've got semimental value.)

Right ... and so did I.
How much space do we use now? (And how much do we have in total?) ___________________________________________________________ "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." Alan Kay, 1971. |

The board currently allows us 250 MB of storage. I got the message because we had used 256 MB of disk space. As I metioned, no posts will be deleted, but they will go into auto archive after 120 days.
Thanks |

250MB?! Where are we stored, Keanu's head?
That's going make my personal goal of 1 TB worth of posts difficult. Are there upgrade options with this host? -- Fanaticism is nowhere. There's no tenderness or humanity in fanaticism. - Joe Strummer |

Deleted some of my horrendously large pictures. I'll now go back and delete half the characters in all my posts. Should save space without really impacting comprehension.

Ping the FAQ
Hey Tiger, you might want to ping the FAQ. It's been autoarchived, and is thus available for Members Only. ************************** "Damn," he said. "This's worse than science fiction---" "Because it's real," I said. "Hard to explain, harder to understand." Jack Womack, Elvissey, pg. 185 |

Image linking from our own hosting doesn't use board space does it?

no, unless you are counting the extra characters it takes to write the link out.

Seriously...this is William Gibson's website, could'nt they give us a little more space than that? Let the innovative hackfest begin!
