Removal of non-Celica Photos, Happening now... Options

[Coomer]

Hi,
I'm posting to let you guys know that the management is now going to be removing more and more non-Celica photos whenever we find them. Tonight I launched a portion of the site which allows us to easily remove photos and email a reason to the member whose photos we remove. So if you have non-Celica photos in your profile, we ask that you please remove them.

Photos of just you(if your Celica is in the shot, it's acceptable though), your pets, your other cars(pics with your other cars are only allowed if your Celica is in the photo as well), etc. are not allowed. There are a couple reasons for this.

1. Bandwidth is expensive. I pay the site's hosting fees, and the more images that are hosted and viewed on 6G Celicas, the higher the bandwidth usage numbers are, and the more it costs to host the site.

2. Photos of your pets, other cars, and other non-Celica photos are off-topic, and don't relate to your Celica in most cases. Since the site is a Celica site, having only Celica photos on it is better.

3. In the near future, I've got plans to implement a random image generator, and a page that randomly selects an image from every member and displays it so that users can easily find some cool Celicas. As shown in the image below, it would look funny if when you're expecting all images of every members' Celica, you get a picture of some person in the middle of it.

out of curiousity, i'm the goober who started the 'post a pic of pet pic', I'm hosting the images on my own webspace, but does that bandwidth use go towards 6gc.net? And in my profile i have pictures of the 4agze i am trying to swap in, is something like that ok? or CELICA only?... (hopefully that will be part of the celica soon.

coomer is saying hosting pics in the members rides database other than the celicas. nothing to do with the messageboard.

[Coomer]

Yeah, those pics hosted elsewhere don't use any of 6G Celicas' bandwidth. And posting Celica parts such as engines and such are fine.

Nice Coomer.. this is only going to make the site better...

and also how about just being able to look at all the members rides with out having to click on the name....

Mustang Life does something similar to this with a little image of the stang. not sure if its a link or not, but its a good feature imo.

I don't understand why my Carbon Fiber "VIS Racing" logo was removed. Its Celica related, it was a Digital Camera picture of my VIS OEM CF Hood. Either way, yesterday I bought a '00 Celica GT-S, so I don't have my 6GC anymore, so this is sort of a goodbye as well. But none-the-less, it was Celica related....
