Content Suggestion PAC3 Import Website Limit

[Playdoughzombie]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Limit the links you're able to use on pac3 for importing to only Github links.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not that I'm aware of or could find.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Cuts down on some of the server lag from people trying to load ungodly pacs using dropbox and onedrive.
Github is much easier to use for importing pacs.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Limits the amount of links people can use for importing their pacs.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I believe it should be accepted because links like dropbox and onedrive both cause server lag when someone tries to load them into the server. It's also much easier to use github for pac importing in general so that's another reason why I think it should be accepted. Also it would be a small contributor to fixing greater pac lag without just straight up removing pac like others have requested in the past. I also believe that people who still use dropbox for pac importing are stuck in the 1450's because ain't no way we still using dropbox in the big 25.

Most of the lag is from the following:
Dumbass animations improperly added (constantly running in the background
Imagur materials allowing them to go over 15mb limit
More than 1 imported model at once
Ect.

Either limit it to sources that are actually fast, or just provide your own PAC upload service - you already have to pay monthly for PAC, might as well get something out of it.

I understand the idea behind this but the best we can do is to have people who are more knowledgeable with pac helping out the people who have pacs that lag the server, possibly something for our event staff to do.

Hell no we shouldn't spoon feed them just because they can't do basic compression for THEIR pac, the most staff should do is test them for lag, if they wanna PAY to have someone take the time out of their life to make the pac acceptable that's a different thing.
