Anyway, more on topic, the dirtiest hardware hack I recall performing for computer access was this (closeup1, closeup2). I was on a class trip in London in my last year of school, but my travel adapter turned out to refuse cooperation, and on the first day, as I was sitting next to one of the few compatible sockets in the lobby, a part of the power supply cable (which had previously been bent) blew up with a loud bang. The first picture shows the contraption (involving a bottle of bad lemonade and cup to add the last few mm of height required) to get the plug to stay in the outlet designated for shavers (which worked with continental European plugs, unlike the regular ones), while the second one shows how I fixed the blown up segment of the cable (one of the wires turned out to still be intact - I bridged the gap in the other one with a straightened metallic paperclip. Perhaps surprisingly, in hindsight, no health and safety inspections of our hotel room took place.

Well, if the limit was too high, on a busy board, it'd quickly take a lot of HDD space. Now, seeing how active this board is, I guess it wouldn't be much of a problem. In the worst case, if it gets abused too much, one can always put higher limits for staff only...

(also, some hosts allow for 'unlimited' HDD space, not going to advertise one here tho)

Mood avatars can't be more than 30 KB. Your argument is moot. Given there's less than 20-30 active users right now, that would allow for everyone to basically have over 1500 mood avatars, and it still probably wouldn't equal up to more than 1 GB of HD space.

when I see the posts above me: why the fuck are we letting that kind of people in?! I clearly prefer no activity at all rather than this kind of activity!
