new thread
Today I got a bandwidth warning. This is the earliest in the month I've ever had a bandwidth warning. If usage on the site continues as is, the site will be shut down for the remainder of the month.
I'm still working on trying to figure out why there is such a huge increase in bandwidth compared to just a month ago. Meanwhile, everyone can help avoid a shutdown by following these guidelines:
* Don't check the board more than you have to.
* Don't post messages unless they are useful.
* Quote only text that needs to be quoted.
* Don't link directly to pictures on this site. I've been taking action on this one, and I'll shut down the ability completely if I have to. For now, I'll allow it in moderation.
Additionally, I will trim the board fairly aggressively for the remainder of the month. This means that daily, any thread older than 7 days old will be removed. Consequently, one other item will be appropriate:
* Don't reply to an old thread unless you have a good reason. If starting a new thread will accomplish what you need, that would be preferred.
I will also be doing things offline which may or may not affect the look of the board in the future.
All,
I've upgraded my account to a plan with more bandwidth. So there won't be any interruption in service afterall unless I just jinxed things.
Yey!! Was a bit worried there for a sec babe. :)
You are much appreciated. xx
Thanks man, much appreciated :)
