Media Gallery - Is It Worth it??

[Bradison]

Hey all. I was about to complete my purchase of XenForo and planned on adding the Media Gallery.. But then it occurred to me that encouraging my users to create albums and upload photos would likely make a serious impact on my site's bandwidth. Sure, I can tell them to embed URLs, but that can be a hassle and the process doesn't always work. They'll just do whatever is easiest for them.

So what's your opinion? Do you have the Media Gallery on your forum? Has it created more of a problem than a benefit?

Is it worth is??

Yes

Yes it’s pretty great!

XFMG can be configured on a per category basis to allow embeds only.

It's worth it IMO if you think it'll benefit your forum. In this day and age, bandwidth is generously given by hosts. I'd probably consider looking into better hosting options if my current host made a big deal about it.
