Hi,

For the ones that saw the problem of BW exceeded, i fixed the problem today by upgrading the hosting plan.. With more than 1.4 billions of hits/month and more than 20gigs of traffic a month, i had to make a new move..

Now we have 1k Gig of bandwith/month, we should have enough for a few years.. :)

Cheers!

Not for now.. i'll post next year for the donation campaign.. :) We will probably have some more hit onthe service, the time that the site move to a new server and new DNS.. but it should be not too bad at all..  :wink:

I was also impressed by the number of hits.. i'll post the complete stats later for those who are interested..

i might get flamed for this, but maybe a little advertising wouldn't be so bad.  its just popups that come out of nowhere that are annoying.

one little banner could probably pay for the hosting needs of this site indefinitely.  then nobody would have to donate.  

anyways, just an idea...

Given how much this place has already educated and helped me out, I don't mind donating at all. Might not be much, but it should help.

If I knew how.

Yep...there is one right now named "doktorhotgirl" on the Section Francaise Generale. Those bastards gotta be accounting for a lot of hits.  :evil:

so you would rather pay donations than have one simple banner on the site which could pay for the entire thing? as long as it isn't perverse, i'm cool with it.

donations = low band
banners = high band, and a little extra dough for the guy running the site.. still non profit but time is money!

I agree with you jtanguay, a small banner ad would not bother me at all, or even a set of google ads.
But it's not my site so I'll just keep donating money :D It's money well spent IMO
