Yeah Juju has webspace, but what I meant is that now he only offers webspace for Omnimaga members who have been around for a long while and are very active. Helder7 is not even close to 500 posts and he joined less than one month ago, so we don't know him much yet. Before, Juju would give webspace to any new member, but then everybody just kept asking him non-stop so it became overwhelming. Plus he trusted some new users too much in giving them diskspace, and the result is that eventually someone used Juju's VPS to run forkbombs, causing Omni to go down completely. As a result, no more chances are taken.

Alberthro had similar problems with people constantly asking him for webspace. In fact, we had to move the topic in question to the private section because there were new members joining Omnimaga only to ask him webspace

I think he could hand out an omnimaga.org sub-domain, though.

Doesnt helder7 have webspace though? I mean, how did he get his forum hosted?

i have webspace, but the server only allow max php upload -> 2mb

wierd. But calc files arent that big, are they?

I use box.com...

I doubt Casio files really need this much space, though. If I remember, Ticalc.org archives are like 18 GB of files, and they got 40000+ files. Most calc files are around 1-20 KB, although there are of course some exceptions.

Bandwidth-wise, if it ever becomes a problem, maybe you could require registration to download files larger than 500 KB? I know ticalc.org averages at 3.43 GB of bandwidth usage per day with about 5 million hits per month, so if you have about 500000 hits per month (which is not likely to be exceeded for a new Casio-related site) then this makes approximately 100 times fewer bandwidth per day usage.

Double post, but I think what happened to Megaupload yesterday (and the fact Mediafire/Rapidshare are most likely next) might convince you to not use those sites to store your site uploads, right?

Yes, no mediafire,rapidshare, hotfile, filesonic...

I will use dropbox cloud service for host +2mb files
