Alright, I know you guys are probably sick of all these threads by now and just want me to give the permissions to upload already. Don't worry, we're almost there, lads. We're so damn close.
So, the bad news first. I have looked and looked and LOOKED and I cannot find any mechanism to institute a disk storage quota on all users. (Just... So fucking absurd...) But WE ARE STILL MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS BITCH. I said we would get user file storage, and we are going to fucking do it. No brakes on this train.
Now, it's time for the really good news. We're not gonna get 4 terabytes of user storage for the site... We're gonna get 7. And with that, I feel at least mostly alright with giving users file storage based on the honor system. It's now gonna be up to you guys to enforce your own 20 GB limit. With that said though... If we find you are going outside the 20 GB limit, you will be given an infraction and told to decrease your storage usage down to 20 GB or less. If it happens again after that, you will lose your file storage privileges temporarily. If it happens AGAIN, you will lose all file storage privileges permanently.
While we're definitely not gonna be hitlers about it at all, please guys... Do not abuse our trust. We may have an awful lot of storage right now, but all that space WILL drain away real fast if even one asshole is abusing their privileges hard and taking up all the damn space.

Now that I've got you all here though, perhaps I can solicit some help from you all regarding which categories you would like to see to sort the public downloads with. Keep in mind, we are going to be hosting... Uh... Everything. (Oh, also, I plan to create a separate new sub-forum as well for all user-created media in place of using the actually kinda limited Media Gallery add-on. This will also continue to keep the focus right on the forums, knocking out two birds with one piece of solidified sediment.)
