I am building a sponsor mod, I have managed to get a MySQL portion of it to work but I want to know what others prefer. Using MySQL to store images or use a file system to store images?

I am starting to think MySQL to store images isn't too smart at this point. What do others things.

Adding images in mysql always add more load on the server also it groves the database size unnecessary thats why i always prefer file system.

I have used file system for awhile but decided I would try MySQL and actually I'm getting to the point I don't like it.

Data like that is always best stored in the file system.
