  2. Our gif only content threads have a rule where all thumbs must be posted as a static thumbnail that does not play. Currently imagebam made a change where they no longer produce static thumbs. Therefore, please do not use imagebam, or any host, that provides live playing gifs in those specific threads. If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    I just went over to CU to see if anything was up and didnt log in. I got told i could only view so many pages because i was not a member.

    Would that be beneficial or not to have this feature?

    Pros
    It might cut down traffic for the thousands of leeches that come in here every day.

    Traffic from leeches will drain the bandwidth of sig hosts that keep getting crippled by phun.

    Leechers would have to register, thus increasing the member base, which Cayne likes.

    Cons
    ?

    I'm neither here nor there on it i just thought it might be worth a discussion.


    And what ads do you mean any way? Phun doesnt have any.

    I see them now.

    If i was a lurker i'd register just to get rid of those ads.

    Just an idea, as i said. :D

    it´s part of PHUN´s original concept not to have any kind of VIP-sections etc., that also includes everyone, guest or member has access to everything in the forums.
    any change on that is completely Cayne´s decision.
