Whoops! Bandwidth Limit Exceeded
« on: September 30, 2005, 03:37:37 AM »

Some of you maye have tried to login/view the forums last night, but instead were greated with a white page that stated the bandwidth limit had been exceeded.

Obviously, that means that this place is quite popular, and reqiures more transfer! I bought this place some time by playing around with my quotas since the quotas are only checked once a day by a script, but I simply don't have enough bandwidth to go around between all of my accounts. Some of the previous months I have been using almost a quarter terabyte worth of bandwidth, so it's time for an upgrade.

Later on today I will get in contact with the owner of the hosting facility to see what I can get, as he's a pretty generous guy since I'm client seventy something, out of about 10,000. He and I go way back.

I was rather surprised when I recieved that message last night as well. Thank goodness we're back up and running now. It's kind of nice to see that we get so much traffic here, eh?  :D

I figured this place got a lot of hits, whenever I check there is usually a new user registered.

Yay. I'm one in twenty. I mean a little bit.

When I first joined it was under three thousand. Now it's over six thousand.

It happened again. Even after the owner of my host upgraded my account to the next level for free, I am still running very tight on bandwidth. I'm not sure if I am going to have enough to get through this month without paying extra.

I am looking into colocating a server about 30 minutes north of where I live - which isn't too bad if I don't go during certain times when the streets are like parking lots around here. I can get a pretty good deal at the location, so the hardest part is going to be setting up and configuring a server (Or two).

Why the hell would you speel a word with a "z" instead of an "s"?  I mean, "s" is on the effin' home-row FFS.  Plus you're not saving any key-strokes.  Does that suddenly make you cook (or k00l)?

I remember when I'd come up with equations that had that as an answer and then tell my victim to invert their calculator.

I wasn't that clever in high school.  But then again nobody used computers back then and we had to walk 15 miles barefoot through broken glass uphill both ways while dodging bullets from the airplanes overhead or something like that.
