Thanks again Coen! I think most of the alienation has come from google, though........

Perhaps a donation plan for a gallery? I'd be 'in' for doing something like that.

Cheers, Chuck

Coen,
Perhaps you could add a Gallery, but require that all images are hosted at other locations like imageshack or individual's own servers? A job forum? I appreciate your efforts, I know it is a big job.
Thanks

That seems like a good solution

Coen, I wouldn't worry about waking the beast known as google. You're not stealing anyone. It's a free market, and if you make something good, people will come. I have been a member of this forum early on and will remain so. The good thing is, I will be visiting more often.

A lot of forums (particularly graphics heavy ones like cgtalk and conceptart.org) require members to host images themselves, and then hotlink them to the site.

Seems to work fine - I've never had any trouble with it. I think there are still some free online image dump sites that allow hotlinking too, so people without access to their own webspace can pitch in too.

This system does occasionally lead to broken image links, but that's because their creator has stopped hosting them - by which point the thread is therefore pretty much dead anyway.

Methinks I might be visiting here a lot.

Cheers!

A lot of warm friendness seems to grow on this forum.
I was not on the beginning of "our old" forum but I think the feeling was the same.

Thanks again for your fantastic work, Cohen, it's fantastic you react so positively!

Regards,

Coen, thanks for all this. Maybe this was a little bit of a blessing in disguise- I know I for one had stopped posting as regularly. Sometimes it just takes getting a little fire lit under your butt (can I say butt? Are the cuss rules just about George Carlin's words, or more?).

It felt exactly like this, Patrice. I feel four-to-five years younger

Just tought I'd drop in and say hello,

You have done a great job with the site and the fora so far Coen keep up the good work, and let me know if you ever need some help I'm here if you need me.

Coen,
Everytime I come back to check things out - you have made things better than I could have thought. That new front page, icons and descriptions are great. I don't know how you are going to make this any better, but I know you and I think you already have something else cooked up, another way to serve the SU community. You rock brother!
