Just throwing this out there for some consideration. I just scanned in some pages from a Rail Model Craftsman magazine on the AS-16 that I wanted a digital copy of (space on my bookshelf is getting limited!) and while uploading this to my computer, I thought about the possibility of hosting a lot of my pictures and files for access to all of you. Google Drive allows every user 15GB of data, and my entire directory of every file I have is less than 2GB so far. Plus, I can grant access to the public, for viewing and downloading as desired.

So I was thinking, what if we all set up a comprehensive Google Drive, under the site's ownership, that we can all collaborate our files into a mega-storage.

I would happily be a moderator if the opportunity arises, and we decide to pursue something along these lines.

Also if anyone has a better solution to something like this, I'm sure many of us would be open to them.
