I never really saw use in the attachment system anyways. Just offload your sites to something like imgur or Tinypic. It saves on server bandwidth anyways, and lets you embed them in your posts instead of having to click to see each one.
Aragorn was tryna encourage people to use the attachment feature for compression etc to save people having to load a mile long page of pictures...
i tried to help by using the feature, and i noticed 2 things..
1. i couldnt upload half my pictures
2. noone looked at or commented on the pictures :\
Possible fixes
1. allow bigger uploads (up to 5mb maybe?)
2. some kind of auto-change into a [ IMG ] URL [ /img ] thing
