Poll: Limited Space in Complete Mode

MKPC is hosted on a small server, with only 10 GB of disk space. I could use a larger server, but it would cost more money and since the game is entirely free, nothing would finance it.
So, 10GB of space means that if everyone used the 25MB allowed, only 400 members could create circuits. It's quite few. Hopefully not everyone use the 25MB so in practice it's more than that, but it shows that this limitation is necessary to allow as many people as possible to create tracks.
That being said, I can think of 2 solutions to solve this problem:
- Delete all old useless tracks to save space. But it would be veeeeery long to do manually, and not that easy to do automatically (how do you identify a useless track? )
- Allow to create circuits from an external image URL, instead of importing it on MKPC server. You would host the image on an external website such as Discord or PostImage, like what you do when you post images on the forum. This way, you could create as many tracks as possible without using space on the server. While I like this solution, it implies that I develop something to allow circuits with external images, which would take time too.
So whatever solution I chose (it could be both), it will take some time.
Now, before I start doing anything, who needs extra space for circuits today? From my experience, 25MB of space is already a lot (with well-compressed images, you could create over 100 circuits with that). If many people need more space, then I'll try to do something for it. But if it's only 1 or 2 members, please understand that it will not be my first priority.
So that means Delete the Old ones that people already made??
Hmm

since the game is entirely free, nothing would finance it.But there are some ads on the website
I guess you win a few money from them?

Yes, but ads barely finance the server today. If I take a better server, I would have to put more ads on the site and make them more intrusive (like popups and video ads at the end of a race) to compensate the server cost increase. I don't really like this idea.

In my case, only 90 tracks could be created!
