why cant you guys make it so you can just attach the image from files instead

if they do that then they need to store the images them self in their own backend, and storing images is sometimes 500x the storage of an avg message. and more storage = more costs to run the website.

If they store it themselves they would also need to more strictly moderate those images and the headache that comes with that.


@Monke I really like File Garden, free but requires an account

I mean they need to moderate the images even if they don't store it, because everyone can still see it publicly on their website.

Depends on how big and how detailed the image is and how many colors it has if it has 6 bits for color and is 20x20 then that is like 2400 bits

I would say most images after compression are about 50~ kb, Thats the size i usually see on whatsapp etc, where they heavily compress images.
It won't cost that much yea, but depending on the scale it gets expensive. Especially for a game with no monetization

yeah I figured that admin is already losing money on the game due to the fact that there needs to be at least one server for it and unless he is making power himself that does cost money

I mean, Idk what setup he is using, but to run a site like MoneyGa.me he prob has to spend 3-5 $/month, depending on what he uses it could be 10$ also.
