Offer to help with expenses isn't Communist! Mister Moustache! Communist would be FORCING the membership to give 10% of their household income to Bunni. Now considering how many members are kids with no jobs (well, no income is a better word) that concept would not be clear to them.

Hey, just because I'm Chinese, and born and raised in Chicago, doesn't make me a Communist.



And thanks for reminding me MPM. I need to delete the old talk sections on my talk page.

Well, for one thing, the Modern Warfare 2 discussion page could be trimmed down. It's quite large with a lot of old pre-release discussion on it.

I was also thinking a good way to trim down the video game section might be to appoint some trustworthy editors as temporary admins and give each one a letter category to do (e.g., admin 1 cleans out A section, admin 2 cleans out B section, etc..).

Recently I've deleted all the talk sections on my talk pages because all of the discussions are over.

It's not the extra files sitting on the servers that are an issue, storage is cheap. It's the shear number of pageviews we're pushing out and the number of images that are on each page. I'd rather pony up for better hardware than limit page size though - I never want to make the content worse.

Also deleting talk pages etc doesn't actually make the database smaller, as mediawiki still saves all that so we can revert back to it if ever necessary. It would help readability of the talk pages though. The text database is actually relatively small - it's all the images that soak up the storage space.

Large PNGs do kill the pages however. They're slow to load and suck up a ton of bandwidth. The ironic thing about PNG is that at the same file size PNG is clearer than JPG with fewer compression artifacts... but the configuration to get that doesn't seem to be intuitive for people.
