Input needed once again

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU VOTE!!!!!!!!!!

Ok well once again I am needing some input on my upcoming WA3 site. Since I plan to post plug-ins and skins I need to know what is the best way to provide downloads that will benefit me, the developers, and the users.

Now the reason I wouldn't allow everyone to just upload straight to my server is because I have a limited ammount of space and if the community gets big that could be a problem. Now I have a GOOD AMMOUNT of Hard Disk space but not enough to be a never ending supply. So that is why I need your help on seeing which method would be best.

well i know you can upload your skins but i don't know when that will happen for plugins but you could sent it to sawg to post on Winamp: The Stuff Thread

What I might do is encourage people to host their own skins and/or components and if that isn't possible for instance if they don't have their own website. Then I will allow uploads under 500KB and if it is more than that they will have to email me the creation and I will have to approve it since I don't want anyone just sending huge files to crash my server or to just piss me off.

On a side note... ITS SNOWING IN SEATTLE! ISN'T IT WONDERFUL?! Thick heavy snow... The kind that piles up to inches and inches real fast.

Now I hear that Tacoma is getting a good ammount more than Seattle. It stopped snowing and they say only moderate ammounts tommorow. Just waiting to test out the kick ass Audi Station Wagon. It is badass.

Anyways lets try to stay on topic
