Sijun Forums :: View topic - I will share my space with anyone to post pictures

Hello People.. as you can see I have been a member for a while and ejoy coming here to view other people's work very much.. so this is not a spam simply an idea I would like to get feedback on. I am sadden when people do not know or cannot post pictures succesfully. Many try free hosting but the anoying adds and the inconvenience might discourage them from posting again.

Well .. I think I can come up with a global solution. I work for a hosting company and was recently in a meeting in which the topic came up "sponsored hosting". This would mean people could get free hosting with tons of disk space and tons of bandwidth.

Imagine this: for as little as $20/YEAR you could have a server to put all your pictures to be used in this forum (no limits, no . I am calculating about 150 people signing up A GROUP effort ! The more sign up the less expensive it becomes!

THEN the good part. ..every certain number of people. Someone chosen by the whole community here at Sijun Forums could get Free hosting! or maybe even more than one person!

As long as everyone keeps it clean and does not abuse the server I CAN make THiS happen!

What do you think? Let me know your ideas and if you think this would work or if people here would be interested...

i'm interested in signing up. although, the payments might be a problem. i don't have a visa, only a visa electron.

I think this is a rather impossible undertaking.

I agree with shizo. I'm sorry.
I would be interested though. But you need to come up with actual numbers before I am going to say yes to something. And you need me to say yes to be able to come up with actual numbers.
