Default Broken pictures discussion

Basically 3 options are possible

1- pay for old domain and leave everything as it was.

Pro: hardly any work, cheap (20 euro's/year)

Con: we can't access the old pictures as the old forum is closed. If you want to browse thru your old pics you'll have to talk to an admin.

BTW, this is what's been done since the move to VB and I don't think anybody missed the option of browsing their old pics.


2- Move pics to new domain in 'Snitz' directory structure.

Pro: little more work, cheapest (saves that 20 euro)

Con: we can't access the old pictures as we use the old forum directory name. For VB it's like an external link, there's no relation with your user account. If you want to browse thru your old pics you'll have to talk to an admin.

3- Move pics to new domain in 'VB' directory structure.

Pro: most elegant solution

Con: Most probably very time consuming, if possible at all.

_________________________________________

For now I'm implementing option 2. Thinking about option 3 but only if this can be done without to much hassle. I don't think anybody really ran into troubles because you can't browse your old pics anymore.

All opinions welcome
