I have a suggestion for this great website. This Page has lots of maps, schmes, soundbanks, etc. "The Cart of Horrors" is great but if you put too much into it, then maybe its to heavy for the server. Now to my suggestion: 
 
Why not make a FTP-Site for this site, so users can download lots of stuff. And registred useres could upload new maps, schemes, etc. 
 
Who is with me?

we'd rather have the control offered by an HTTP based interface, FTP offers little to no advantages, and our current server load is managable.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. It wouldn't have to be anonymous. We could have 1 login for everybody. 
Actually Surpass does have support for anonymous ftps, so you were wrong about that too!

Unless you've never hosted your own FTP before anonymous FTP access is always optional, not about hosting plans

possible, but I don't think there's any way to restrict what gets uploaded. Unless we could run some cron job that weeds out the dodgy stuff

But there must be one since imageshack can restrict the filetypes you can upload by FTP to only image files(jpeg, gif, swf) 
 
In our case the extensions would be zip,rar,wsc,bit,png,wag,bmp
