heretic888 04-01-2003 12:17 PM

what the hell happened??

Karpo_007 04-01-2003 12:31 PM

The board exceeded the monthly bandwidth limit again it seems.

tekcop 04-01-2003 12:53 PM

Oh thank god... I was going into withdrawls....

Karpo_007 04-01-2003 12:58 PM

The board is getting too popular for it's own good. :lol:

Kali 04-01-2003 01:23 PM

It's not just the board, it's the whole site, plus the other sites hosted by thetechnodrome.com

*sighs happily as her withdrawl symptoms melt away*

Karpo_007 04-01-2003 01:41 PM

Im pretty sure that it is the board that uses the big majority of the bandwidth.

Thank God the technodrome rises again.

That Matt Guy 04-01-2003 02:05 PM

So I guess the site goes down at the start of each month?

R-iZZy 04-01-2003 02:31 PM

I thought I would go crazy!!!

Tokka-B 04-01-2003 02:50 PM

Phew, we back up again....Yes, I guess it goes down at the beginning of each month, otherwise it was a lame April fools joke... :P :wink:

The Defibrillator 04-01-2003 02:54 PM

sorry I'm not a computer genius, but is there a way we can fix this problem? There are other websites that get more traffic than thetechnodrome.com obviously.

Nickokapo 04-01-2003 02:58 PM

The only way to help would be to donate money to the site to help cover hosting prices.
bandwith = $$$
Humm...weird, it went down then back up right after like a day :p

HorseTechie 04-01-2003 03:10 PM

Yes, this site goes down at the end of each month, if it exceeds bandwidth. Did that last month! And I did sent in a donation too... I guess this place is too popular!

I do have other places to fall back on, but... I like this place better. :D

Skeletoncrew 04-01-2003 03:27 PM

I've noticed that this started happening after the new cartoon began to air. Its all the new fans fault! :)

Tokka-B 04-01-2003 03:30 PM

hmmm, what is involved in the outrageous bandwidth? Is it the number of members here or the amount of posts?

Peanut 04-01-2003 05:48 PM

Ping!

You're right.

Yep, our host gives us a limit for the amount of bandwidth we can use per month, and if we go over that, the site is shut down until the beginning of the next month when the bandwidth limit is reset.

As others have said, the only way to fix the problem is to help out by donating. I appreciate the donations we have gotten, but so far we only raised enough to pay for about a month of our current hosting price. To get a higher bandwidth limit, we would need to pay $10 more per month than we're paying now.

Yes, but they have enough money to pay for a powerful hosting plan or even their own server, and I don't.

Both, actually. It's caused by many people viewing many forum pages.
