Possible New Website for the VDP

Due to bandwidth and file storage concerns I may be switching the main website from "Webs" to "Wikispaces".  Here are the pros and cons to each.


wikispaces.com

• PROS:  2 GB of storage, apparently unlimited bandwidth and data transfer (main reason to go with this), more freedom with profile pages, ability to upload any file type directly to the site (no need for alternative storage site)
• CONS:  10 MB max for each file (however, probably won't matter for .obj's), less freedom in the design and look of the site (actually... it looks like the same amount of freedom)

webs.com

• PROS:  more freedom in the design and look of the site, already set up functions for galleries, etc.
• CONS:  41.9 MB of storage, 500 MB of bandwidth (main reason not to go with this), the need to upload each file via link to other storage site (mediafire, megaupload, etc.)

I may keep the old webs site up just for reference or in case someone wants to adopt it who's willing to pay for more bandwidth.

Not sure if I'm going to switch over yet, but it's looking like a good place for the community.
