Is there a way to make one big optional hakpak download that contains all the current player portraits made and make it available to the CD community? Maybe have it up as a sticky in the thread and then the new portraits added would be easier to find?

The only issue with this is how frequently people update/change their portraits. I'm for it, but I'm not willing to manage updating it.

Okay so... I made a Dropbox account, got the email account and everything for it. What if we gave the people on this forum the email and password, and told them that it's only used for portrait files, then let everyone upload their portraits? Putting the directory on your desktop makes it so as soon as a file comes in, you get it, and you put it in the portraits folder the NWN folder. Making it an actual Dropbox directory makes it possible to select more than one file and copy them over, so that users don't have to go page by page, post by post grabbing each file. We'd just need to make it so people can't delete files from the Dropbox.

Wouldn't it have just been easier to make an open google drive?

I don't know why anyone bothers with DropBox anymore, when Google Drive exists, lol.

I really don't like the idea of leaving an open account and password to be abused. Not so long ago, we had to switch to the login server because of folks who maliciously tried to ruin our server.
