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.

Well, at leat you didn't lose all your bandwith, or your bandwith provide. Besides, september's only like a week away.

RandomDude18 · « **Reply #2 on:** August 24, 2004, 12:01:44 pm »

Yeah and besides I think alot of people already downloaded most of the videos.

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

IceFox · « **Reply #4 on:** August 24, 2004, 02:25:02 pm »

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?

ssj4gogita4 · « **Reply #5 on:** August 24, 2004, 02:31:11 pm »

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

Alain2k5 · « **Reply #6 on:** August 24, 2004, 03:18:09 pm »

I don't think forums consume so many b/w

Starr2k3 · « **Reply #10 on:** August 24, 2004, 05:04:48 pm »

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.

cmonkey · « **Reply #11 on:** August 24, 2004, 05:48:55 pm »

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

ssj4gogita4 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 24, 2004, 05:56:33 pm »

35% on all of that? Good golly

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

ssj4gogita4 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 24, 2004, 07:15:40 pm »

You should just have the cable modem ones...not the dial up videos

Scilla · « **Reply #15 on:** August 24, 2004, 07:20:06 pm »

I think everyone has the videos. Too bad for Newbies huh.

AppleNick · « **Reply #16 on:** August 24, 2004, 07:45:54 pm »

I don't have any vidoes. I've barely been off the forums.

DMDude12 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 24, 2004, 08:46:05 pm »

yeah same with me nick.

cmonkey · « **Reply #18 on:** August 25, 2004, 01:03:29 am »

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.

AppleNick · « **Reply #19 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?

Spongey34 · « **Reply #20 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...

ssj4gogita4 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 25, 2004, 01:50:11 pm »

You should take off some pictures or a couple of videos

IZ · « **Reply #22 on:** August 25, 2004, 03:02:10 pm »

He took off the videos... o_O

AppleNick · « **Reply #23 on:** August 25, 2004, 05:41:44 pm »

BTW, what happened to the trivia?

Nonononononono.

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

ssj4gogita4 · « **Reply #26 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

Starr2k3 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 25, 2004, 07:55:30 pm »

Or maybe he keeps it all. Only some month bandwidth goes over.

cmonkey · « **Reply #28 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.

IceFox · « **Reply #30 on:** August 26, 2004, 09:59:04 am »

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.

Ohh ok. Gotcha. :wink1:

Why would he need more? It's good the way it is

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.

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."

I don't know why, but you're banned from the chat.

maybe cmonkey decided to cancel it...

Spongey34 · « **Reply #43 on:** August 26, 2004, 04:54:22 pm »

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