Hi Community!
We are always making changes. We are upgrading, we are adapting, we are listening. Wild and I (Hi I'm Josh for our new members) are pretty new at this. We aren't perfect but we are just fellow fans and internet nerds that want to create a cool experience with friends.
There are two things I need to address:
The first is that I have removed the "Upload a File" button that was used to upload files to our sever.
Why did I do this?
Thanks for your understanding here. Not many are using the upload button anyways, but just wanted you to know what/why we are doing what we do.

Second, but definitely important.
We want to respect those that bring us the sport up to the minute. One of our goals has always to provide a platform to promote high quality writing of our members. You'll notice a lot of people post news articles and other opinion pieces and we promote those to the front page. Rather than this site be about us, we want it to be about highlighting the community.
However, blog/news writers must get clicks and views to fund their trade. If you post a news article, feel free to post the relevant paragraph to give people an idea of the subject matter. Feel free to add your own comments on the work. But please do not post a majority or all of the writing. Always give a link back to the original work.This copy and paste stops page views from the writer and hurts the industry. We want to be a win-win for all involved. So please assist us in supporting those that create content for us to discuss in our community.
Thanks ya'll.

Hi Community!

Why did I do this?
- Our server is optimized for speed. It will continue to be optimized for speed. As we grow, I will expand our server to have a faster processor, more memory, and a more optimized route to send the site to you the best way we can. More nerd = faster site for you.
- What does our server not do well for the money? Hold lots of things like image files.
- You can choose a fast database server or a big image server. Doing both on one machine is not best.
- The best way to host image files and send them to you is with something called a Content Delivery Network (CDN). This is a big group servers out in the cloud that will send pictures to you efficiently by keeping copies in your region of the world. We aren't there yet. So we don't own that yet. When we are big enough for it, that's what we will look to add.
- Am I taking away all the gifs/pic/etc linking? NO WAY. We have no plans to ever stop that!
- There are tons of hosting options and 95% of the images our site are already linked from these well established image hosts -- some have tens of millions in venture capital backing to provide this service. These sites are optimized to provide image/gif hosting. Some like imgur and gfycat, we already support auto-embedding if you paste their links and those two have mobile apps.
- Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet
- Postimage.org - free image hosting / image upload
- TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting
- Photo and image hosting, free photo galleries, photo editing
- ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs
- Free Image Hosting at FreeImageHosting.net - Upload & Share Images on Social Networks, Blogs, and Galleries
- Gfycat - jiffier gifs
