I'm running out of bandwidth really quickly, so the videos section has been disabled until the beginning of next month.  I may have to disable the picture galleries until next month too.

Also, there will be a chat/trivia session tomorrow at 8:00 PM EST.

This is rediculos. If you want bandwidth remove all the fancy graphix

Noo, 'cause all the graphics are a good thing. They make it easier to read and stuff. I just thought of something... when the merge happens, then how much bandwidth will be used?

Can you lose bandwidth with the forum posts? And how much you got?

Ugh, that sucks. Not like people really need Videos. If they need them that bad they can just wait.

I'll make it to Trivia tomorrow.

The videos take up approximately 45% of my bandwidth.  The image galleries take up another 35%.

Yeah, I guess it would be a good idea to remove Videos for now :laugh:

Guys, this may surprise you, but the people who use the forums are a very small minority of Sponge Zone visitors.  The site gets around 3000 unique visitors a day, and less than 100 are people who are visiting the forums.
Title: Bandwidth :(
Post by: AppleNick on August 25, 2004, 12:07:27 pm
I knew that, but one Q:

3,000 unique visitors a day is equivelant to how much bandwidth?
Title: Bandwidth :(
Post by: Spongey34 on August 25, 2004, 01:02:43 pm
It depends... if they just leave within 30 seconds, not much at all, but if they go to the picture gallery, download the movie clips, etc. then it starts to add up...

Post by: ssj4gogita4 on August 25, 2004, 01:50:11 pm
You should take off some pictures or a couple of videos

He took off the videos... o_O

Nonononononono.

That's one of SZ's biggest things. Most sites don't have videos.

Post by: ssj4gogita4 on August 25, 2004, 07:54:26 pm
Well maybe some pictures...not the wallpaper...I meant just different types of pictures...maybe 1 or 2 from each file
Title: Bandwidth :(
Post by: Starr2k3 on August 25, 2004, 07:55:30 pm
Or maybe he keeps it all. Only some month bandwidth goes over.

Post by: cmonkey on August 25, 2004, 09:24:10 pm
Yea, but I'd really rather not pay $4 per gig over the limit.  Thats a little excessive.

He said exesissive, not expensive. It realoly is sorta expensive, because how many gigs will he have to pay for?

I'd say around 20GBs at least.

It's more like 80. I know it's not 20, since SBA had used more than that, and SZ was WAY more popular.

Umm... I know the hosting default was 80. I was talking about how much more SZ would need.

Not again! Oh well, I don't usually go to the gallery or videos.

Oh, and the chat won't let me in. When I try to type anything it says something like "You're not in a channel."

$4/gig is very expensive, considering that you could pay about $10 to get 80...
