Site update.

[Bouncer]

I am sure most of you noticed that we were down all day. Been working most of the day with the server company to get it back up. It seems that we have had a pretty good size surge of traffic in the last few months, so much so that it shut down the server today. We may have to upgrade some things and the site may be down for a few hours in the coming days. I will be able to warn you ahead of time when those things happen though. Sorry for the down time today guys. :)

I didn't notice :), Can you tell if it's member/guest traffic or spam traffic?

if you get more traffic what will that do for you? does that alow you to charge more per banner advertising? just curious about the whole web site stuff. like cost to run a board and what you can do to offset these things. i dont plan on opening a board just curious.

it just means more board activity aka more server strain. the cost of the server goes up along with any benefit of profit. it all balances out. going to be switching servers soon. shouldn't be any down time though because the site will run on the old server until the new server is ready.

Lots of changes coming guys. Spammers are going to be a thing of the past. Board is going to grow into much more then it is now. New look, new front page, more traffic etc. These things will happen over the next few months. The best board is going to be much better!
