Soooo I've just totally maxed out my available space on my server. I discovered this while in the middle of uploading Continuum caps. (And I figured out my capping problem, thanks to Angie!! so Being Human caps are forthcoming. Or, well, they were.)

The problem is there is just no more space to be had. We were planning on upgrading the server soon to another host anyway, which will add 100gb more space. That's really not a ton of space tbh, but if I can nab 25gb of that space for myself, then that's at least a few seasons of shows I can cap, which will buy me time.

I guess all these huuuuuuuuge screencap sites must be hosted at dreamwidth, who offers unlimited storage? Because I don't know how anyone could afford all that space otherwise. Even so, I'm really not keen on spending ten bucks a month just to host some screencaps. I really don't care about screencapping that much. I just already had all this website space I wasn't really using anymore, so that's why I started capping in the first place.

I don't want to just offer zips of caps because I hate that, I never download zips of caps myself, galleries are where it's at.

I would totally just donate my caps/become a contributer to some cap site out there if there were any sites that didn't fundamentally annoy me on some level, lol.

tl;dr caps are on hold until this server upgrade happens, at the very least.

aww that sucks :( cap are such fun. can you figure out if you have caps that are less popular and maybe archive them elsewhere?

[skieswideopen]

Oh, no! One of us could shrink the BHUS caps I gave you down to 720p. Maybe that would free up some space? At least enough to get the rest of season four up.

But yeah, totally not worth spending money on. And I agree with you--I only download if I'm desperate. Galleries are the way to go.

ETA: Is it just me, or does it look like everything related to Sci Fi Fic Swap has been deleted? That's a little disappointing.

I was gonna try that but my less popular caps hardly take up much space. If I got rid of them it would make way for a few more episodes of something but that's it, haha. Hopefully we'll be updating soon!

[naushika]

Noooo I refuse to compromise on size/quality! lol. We should be upgrading soon, but if not I might just pull a couple of the less popular things which would hopefully make room for the last few BHUS eps.

Yeah, galleries forever! I just wish webspace was cheaper. XD

Yeah, scifi fic swap was deleted. I went to check on it yesterday since that's when signups closed and it was all GONE! That's so rude!

yeah sounds good :D

I feel you on zips. I haaaate them.. Lol. Such a pain. They'll do in a pinch but mostly...a world of no.

Ah, that's difficult indeed. :/ I know Photobucket has a decent amount of bandwidth, but I guess using it to host caps wouldn't be ideal. Other than that, yeah. I can't come up with any host that'll over enough space. :/ I used to share my caps in .rar-files only, so no, idea. :/ I hope you find a solution! I feel you on not wanting to spend that much money on caps though, I wouldn't either.
