Suggest to add a Photography forum and the ability to upload images.

[seraphangel]

Hi ya all, I'm sure there are some webmasters here who like photography as well, would it be possible to add a Photography section and the ability for us to upload images as well?

would tat add up the burden of loading time if there's a whole load of photos

[seraphangel]

don't think will slow down loading time unless you're viewing the thread that has loads of pictures. The thread for the best photo contest ain't loading too slowly also eventhough there are 20 images in it. so should be fine I suppose.

i think it will slowdown the site and the bandwidth usage will jump sky high.. 1 person viewing 1 thread with 20 pics is ok... but when thousand of members start viewing that thread with 20pics daily?? sure die lar...
this is just 1 thread we talking... how about then more and more threads with pics are added??? Do this website have enough webspace to swallow all of it??

if the pic are purely linked from other site and not stored locally here... then i think it can be considered.

Another consideration is the copywright of the photo... do wmm subject to copyright infringement legal actions if the members violating it... something to think about???

anyway i think photography are not suited with the theme of this forum...

why not upload the pics to Shareapic - The pic sharing site that gives back! and link it here?

at least the owner of the images can gain something back.

this is what I had in mind as I am sure there are o lot of photographers out there who wants to share their pics with all

any comments?
