no...imagine this...

your looking up a particular topic via google... you find an article on a website that's already printed in it's entirety on that website.. so instead of finding the original article, you post a link to it on another forum...

now everyone on that other forum wants to see the article which brings them to this website for no particular reason but for them to see the article.

the hurricane thread was humorous at the time and we had no idea on the effect it would have on the site...so in essence, i take back saying that the lurkers weren't part of the cause and effect. i didn't think they were, but after talking with doug some more - it actually did affect the site... so that with that, we don't want happening all the time...so if we put links on instead of the entire article, we minimize the possibility of google loving this site! haha

that's why it would be better to post the pertinent information of the article and a link to it rather than the full article because google will probably gobble that up and we'll end up having more linkage problems causing the same effect we had last week with hurricane frances thread....

I know we used to ask for the same thing a while back and then started slacking after a while and let people put up full articles.. but now, after the google instance, we want to ask again to just use the pertinent information you want people to know and link the entire original article to the site....

In my defense, I mentioned the lurker issue during the hurricane thread, even posted a thread asking Doug to kill the hurricane thread because it was slowing the site... Whenever there is enough viewers (lurkers and/or registered) to slow the access to a site, you know you are sucking down some serious bandwidth... It's fun to watch the big numbers of hits...

I was merely trying to help, based on my past experiences with hosting mine own and client sites... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
