Sci Fi Downloads DissabledJust for a week or so, to see how the bandwidth problem goes. I've doubled my allotted bandwidth in the last two montsh and still we're worried about reaching it. Currently my bandwidth limit is 43Gb per months - that's a LOT! We're currently on 27Gb. We'll see how things go in the next week or so.

F My I ;)
To help me remember the old gallery pathname and details of current bandwidth usage.
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
Sad, what do blocks of extra bandwidth run? And in what size chunks do you have to buy it?
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
About a dollar a Gig in chunks of 10Gb. So were definately ok for this month thanks to a donation by a very special lady (who is always there when things get close to the bone! :) )
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
Ummm, About your special lady and how she affects you close to any bones. :D Too much sharing!!!!! :lol:
Best of course to New Kate, long may she have that affect. :D
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
Looks like someone else came home today to an inbox full of "where are the downloads?"
Did people actually DEMAND that the downloads be brought back? All I got was some requests that were passive-aggressive at worst.
I'd love to see the downloads brought back just as much as anyone. I've got some really sweet screengrabs from last nite's episode. But I agree with the decision.
p.s. does the non-acceptance of donations from mods also apply to admins? ;)
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
awww, did some one p*ss in your email inbox? Bad posters... or not. :D
I guess we may assume that someone got particulary nasty and demanding? Come on share the fun stuff Saddy! :lol:

Sorry been watching my "Strangers with Candy" DVDs lately =0
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
I realize it is a bit early to tell, but has moving the donation button helped at all???? *sigh* I do hope so.
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
:)
Not really, but I get donations at odd times. Sometimes when I least expect it (ie. after a lull) I get two or three. Then when I really need it I may get one big one ;) and other times there can be a drought for a while.
I'm not too concerned, we have quite a bit in the kitty, the site will definately never close because of bandwidth limit issues. Speaking of which, I've just re-opened the downloads section again.
I now have 65Gb bandwidth for one month starting today which is why I didn't buy the extra chunk earlier in thge month.
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
I was really starting to get nervous there, as we were down to just a few gigs left. Yesterday was the only day this month that bandwidth was under a gig! And that's only because THE SEVER NEGLECTED TO COUNT IT DURING A REALLY BUSY TIME. It does that every day for about 6 hours, just normally in the middle of the nite when only the Hawiians are awake to visit the site. I think we would've already surpassed the limit, had the server been keeping track of the badnwidth 24/7.
now I'm angry!
I found a bunch of nasty comments, demands and other wise unpleasentires in the downloads section. I've already deleted them. Did any of these shitheads ever email us to find out what was going on. No they just write "where r the fuckin pics"
I'm fuckin pissed! I cleaned out about 50 of them from the download section! Almost all of them from the Six section. I didn't write down then names, as I know that if I did, I'd be holding a grude for a while against them. But it was over 20 users.
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
What forums were they interested in?
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
It wasn't the forums, it was the comments that can be made of the downloads in the downloads section. It's similar to the comments made in the news articles.
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
So there was no indication of which sections they were looking for?
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
they wanted to look at naked pictures of Six. When the downloads were down, all that would appear was a square with a red X, indicating that the picture did not load. They felt that as annonymous visitors it was their god given right to view these photos immediatly! And that we're idiots for not providing it for them.
Re:Sci Fi Downloads Dissabled
Yum, yum. Where can I get me some of that digital lovin'.
Put on that purple felt hat Headge, and grab your Pimpin' sceptre, only 24.99 for 15 minutes with Six!
Sounds almost like LuvLiner, come for Six, and get the boxes with the red X's.
Okay, that was almost a little too unintentionally graphic :shock:
revisited
Just a fyi since I still have the info handy (some friends just signed up), in case it's ever needed later. The site has been running so smoothly lately hopefully it may never be an issue again. But maybe someone else is looking for a better deal on their hosting, so figured I'd post it anyway.
