Just how much bandwidth is Read and Find out using per month? cmdjing Send a noteboard - 11/07/2010 05:50:02 AM
With web hosting as cheap as it is, I don't see how anyone could not support it unless they were an unemployed student.

Site traffic has been trending downwards for months since last years peak immediately after the release of the Gathering Storm.

Page views per user is 28 according to Alexa and the total unique users per day is well below 1000.

Assuming each page view is using 100kb that only works out about 3 gigabytes a day or less than 100 gigabytes a month. There is of course also the issue of storage space due to an expanding database but still storage space can generally be purchase al carte.

Unless web hosting in the UK is exponentially more expensive than in the US. It shouldn't cost more than 7 dollars a month to run the site.

While hosting can be had that cheap, I certainly wouldn't want to use it. Nebhead - 13/07/2010 12:04:55 AM 1639 Views
You want to charge people for functionality every other forum on the web gives them for free? Werthead - 14/07/2010 08:47:32 PM 1692 Views
It is exactly the same stuff Mike asked money for Camilla - 14/07/2010 09:00:55 PM 1338 Views

He does have a point when it comes to hyperlinks. lord-of-shadow - 15/07/2010 06:52:41 PM 1319 Views
There are other reasons why I don't want links in posts Nebhead - 15/07/2010 08:18:53 PM 1361 Views

Only if you choose to let it. Werthead - 16/07/2010 12:17:47 PM 1548 Views
This is just the BBforum argument rehashed. Ghavrel - 16/07/2010 06:07:20 PM 1527 Views
But those are the very things being introduced by the premium accounts. Werthead - 17/07/2010 12:44:05 PM 1553 Views

What's the point if people can't see my obnoxious, animated avatar?! Ghavrel - 16/07/2010 06:10:03 PM 1320 Views
Good lord Ghavrel, you're just posting straw men. Don't put words in people's mouths. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 16/07/2010 07:08:20 PM 726 Views
No, I'm mocking your arguments because they are dumb. Difference! :p *NM* Ghavrel - 17/07/2010 02:21:43 AM 725 Views
That at least is not a problem, as the premium accounts are introducing them to the site. Werthead - 17/07/2010 12:46:33 PM 1535 Views
They aren't displayed, so I don't mind. But what is "far worse" than other SFF forums? *NM* Ghavrel - 17/07/2010 10:08:47 PM 717 Views
