Anyone have a good guess as to why I can't post the actual videos anymore?
I have always had to upload the videos to some platform to get a link, like youtube or soundcloud etc. I was never able to post straight mp4 file etc. That would be a great feature.
Seems like it wasn't all that long ago (less than 15 yrs) that most internet forums wouldn't even internally host pictures. Moderators/admins would regularly tell users their avatar pic was too big, or to purge your pm boxes to clear space. (I started collecting live music on 250/500 mb Zip drives!! ($$$$) We now live in a world of cheap mass data storage, but it still doesn't mean privately run sites like this can just freely host countless HD videos and such. If you want that, expect ad banners to follow. There's a reason why YouTube is now filled w/ ads. A million people uploading 30 min HD videos every day. That is an insane amount of storage!! ($$$$$)
