Wow, aren't we getting testy... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Still waiting for the reply to the PM that I sent you in response to the multiple PM's you sent me...

BTW, I could have said "I TOLD you to take down the "Hurricane Francis" thread", but Noooo... "We like Lurkers, their good for business" is what I was told... Now you guys are complaining about all the bandwidth usage!!! Talk about a contradiction! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/spin2.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]I think you misunderstood the original thread... the bandwidth has to deal with people linking to the site.. lurkers aren't the main concern and really don't affect the bandwidth.. but when we put full articles into the thread, google links onto that which brings the lurkers.. and the lurkers in turn link to the thread showing the entire article instead of linking to the origin of the original article.. that's where the bandwidth comes into play...

lurkers are not a problem but direct article linking from other sites can become a problem and slow the processing of the server down.

does that explain a little more? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
