It’s easy enough to add a drive to a dedicated server and keep on trucking but it costs money to do so. Other plans like VPS, Cloud, etc. require upgrades which can mean lengthy downtime in some cases due to a migration from one server to the new one.

 

@Glenn is right. Hosting a site these days can be expensive. 
 

*Now my curiosity is raised about where BR is hosted. Time to load the terminal up! #nerdstuffonacoldday

Nerds are my nation. Fishers are my tribe. So, a fishing nerd is family!

Thanks for the info, i just deleted 20 pages of pics from 2020-2021.

well its been 2 years and i want to delete more photos but its not working like it did 2 years ago, no box to click in? am i loosing my mind?

Nope, you can't do that anymore.  When you delete photos, it leaves broken images all over the forums from every post where you used the images.  In other words, it doesn't delete the posts, just the images.

 

Huge mess.

 

Huge, huge, mess.

 

Best thing you can do is reduce your image size to less than 100k before uploading. You'd be hard pressed to run out of storage room, and your images will still look fine.
