To run this software and enlarge the site will take up a lot more server space and cost more $$$s.

Is running the site on a broadband connected computer any good ? It would allow unlimited storage, and if there is already someone using the broadband in the house where it is, it may not cost, except for the computer, which might also be from donated parts, like a new motherboard and CPU here, a HDD there, just a though, as some of us may already have a lot of that...
Maybe we'd need an alliance with some computer nuts...

Yes, all possible. We don't have broadband here in Sticksville so not an option for me, but our traffic is heavy and growing. The servers that ISPs run have much more capacity than home PCs and can handle multiple users on line at the same time very capably. (Ever tried to access a site and "Too many users" has popped up?) I'm negotiating a very good deal at present so we'll be OK.

If u need any PC parts, I got a box with MB CPU ram in it.... and some other bits and bobs... if u want any of it im more than happy to send it your way

Oh! and a home computer with a bit of storage would be good even with a similar config to the current one, as there are all those image pointers, urls and all that. Storing pics that way would be cool and straightforward. Doesn't everyone want some decent low cost storage for ebay pics, pics here all sort of stuff, but can't be bothered/can't afford it. Pooling resources is always a good thing for everyone.
