The only Italian player I care about is Alessandro Gamberini, the rest they can screw themselves. And you can add Mutu to that

Stem, I'm not stating that as an opinion

, I'm saying that as the one who's making a living out of the Eurobabeindex. It's not the minimum attachment quota per se. It's the fact that LOTS of pictures are posted here, some are exclusives (thanks to Gapelover, Tigris, Giorgio, Dennis, etc.). And a few times the site, I mean the real site, has been brought to a crawl by hotlinking. Anyway, what I said is "let Nop handle that", I'm sure there's some room left.
The point here is how much bandwidth we're willing to save for the forum AT ALL, it's a matter of priorities, not of technical details about traffic.
The best option, that we have been discussing, is to move the forum to its own server, which is not free but it's something that I'd like to do anyway.
