I was browsing fatwallet forums and i found a thread posted by "-=MaStA ViC" on free file-hosting services. They might provide some alternatives for uploading some may find interesting, might be able to use them for some media files on the forums. Just reminded me of this site when I saw it, i don't know if it will be useful but yeah...
