The Issue with Attachments

My opinions are as follows:

• I want CH to remain, as it's a powerful draw for members and seems to generate some decent Adsense money. I don't like how it's so segregated from the rest of GFF, however. I'm aware that most of the visitors probably don't give two fucks about videogames or recycled 4chan jokes but the place shouldn't be an island, just the same. Unfortunately, I've no idea how to improve this problem.
  
• I agree that the disk space issue is foremost; filesharers in other forums are strongly encouraged to host their files offsite. Many people run excellent FTPs while others use Sendspace/Megaupload sites. These are both fine and I don't see any reason why the standard for filesharing in one forum should be shunned in another.
  
• There has been some unrest about the post quality in CH. Though I don't think we're ever going to reach Political Palace-level debates, I do agree it needs improvement. To that end, I support stronger enforcement of anti-spam standards, to the point of making examples out of repeat offenders if necessary. It will probably be an uphill battle but I don't believe "I like Tchaikovsky." constitutes worthwhile discussion.
  
• The only way to enact profound change and have it noticed is to make a dramatic gesture of it. By this, I'd like to purge all the attachments at once and restrict their use from now on. As much as people will protest, letting old attachments remain under a grandfather clause will not encourage reform.
  
• I want a moderator who is very active in Concert Hall, one who knows the ins, outs and who's-who of the place. I've heard mixed accounts of Waferballs' activity and though I'm not pointing any blame in his direction (CH is a big chore!) this forum won't improve under a laissez-faire watch. I'm not asking for any nominations from members, nor am I promising that there will be a new mod, so hold your keyboards. But I might poke around for input. If we're going to overhaul CH, the changes need to be enforced from the start.

That's where I stand on it all.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
