Okay, I just read this on MrTheEdge.com and thought it should be shared...
<--4-22-03--> Ok this isn't meant to offend anyone in the least so read it with
my best intentions in mind, but as of late i have found it harder and harder to
get into my own site when i need to. I would love to think that it's because
me and Edge just have SO many visitors that my server exploded but i think it's most
likely due to the fact that people are directly linking like crazy to the
pictures in the galleries. PLEASE, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, save the pics and
upload them elsewhere for use on your sites and/or for posting on forums or
livejournals. I hate that it has come to this but it's only fair to the other
people who are trying to gain access and cannot because there are 400 billion
pictures being directly linked to all over the web. thank you for your
cooperation!! and forgive me for being such a demanding hag of a webmistress!
much love ------- sarah

I know that I am utterly guilty of pillaging Sarah's site and its fab galleries and am very sorry to be causing her problems for that. With this, and the disappearance of Kristie's site and the possible disappearance of erised's site, we need to figure out a way to save Edge pics so we all can view them but no one's bandwidth is destroyed. I know a lot of people here save pics onto their personal servers/drives and can upload pics but non-premium members cannot view attachments and you can only attach something one time. Is there a free and easy way we can all start combining the Edge pics we have (on disk, from the Web, scans, etc) and have them be accessible to all? Hopefully this way we can continue to have really great, 20+ page long Edge days and save erised's gorgeous stills and not crash MrTheEdge.com on a weekly basis.
Thanks!!
