Someone posted a bunch of gay **** or something.



Plus, the site runs faster here without pictures everywhere.

First of all, this is CamaroZ28.Com and not LS1.Com. As a result there are many differences between the sites. We haven't allowed the posting of inline images since 1998 or so.

Second of all, this is a message board, not a picture board. Pictures slow the load time, incure a higher server load and it is too easy for people to abuse.

You CAN post links to pics and if people actually want to see them, they will click the links.

I gotta put this in the FAQ...

Think about it like this. . . .if YOU owned CamaroZ28.com or any site, having someone tell you you want something more just isn't anything the owner/creator of the site wants to hear. At least that's my opinion. I think the photo think is not really necessary, linking is good enough. Your right, though, it's a frequently asked question. I like everything just the way it is.

Nah...not so much a touchy issue, but a common one.

No biggie. That's why I added the smilies.
