At home I am on dial up and I can only connect at 26.4k so I guess I am. The pics and vids forum does not take up much bandwidth on the server because most if not all the pics and vids are not hosted at contour.org but on other servers so the only bandwidth used by contour.org is a little bit to link to them (not much at all)
I would guess it was shutdown because it because more of a personal interests forum for some people than a common interests.
