You freaks. I might have to disable searching if it keeps chewing up the bandwidth. Don't complain. Would you rather no searching or getting a "bandwidth exceeded" message as early as the 10th of the month?

With that said, may I present the Top 10 search terms?

Rank Term Number of searches
1 alba 1232
2 owned 952
3 babe 449
4 girl 283
5 hot 224
6 img 82
7 dsc 68
8 sex 68
9 pic 66
10 ass 59


Again, freaks.

dwell - How much more bandwidth is being used as a result of the search feature?

In the past two days pics.bbzzdd.com has used 4.064920GB of bandwidth.

Keeping this up and we'll be up to 60GB per month :Q

As everyone knows, bandwidth costs money and the donations aren't exactly flowing in.

I told you that would happen ;)

You were right.

I think we've received a whopping 4 donations, $0.50, $1, $5 and I think $10.

That barely covers 1 month of web hosting and I am hosting ALL but 2 of the major FREE pichosting services:

notfred did receive a donation for fox302.com and was kind enough to split it with me.

Don't forget to use

How much is the hosting per month?

It's VERY CHEAP since I am sharing a Nocster dedicated server with a few other AT'ers.

You do the math.

$112/mo
AMD XP 1800
60GB disk space
1000GB per month bandwidth

We should be adding a 2nd server and that's even CHEAPER, same config but with a Celeron 2.4

$112 / (1000/60) ~= $7/month with the 60 gigs of transfer.

Paypal link?
 

Yes, we have a major problem. I estimated bandwidth to max to 30G a month, and it's doubled. I have to make some moves in order to cut down bandwidth. We are going to max out half-way into the month at this point.

I think that's going to be necessary since few people are contributing and money doesn't grow on trees.

Maybe I missed it, but how much does it cost to run pics.bbzzdd.com for a month? I don't use it that often but it has come in handy on more than one occasion. With all the people here we should be able to cover a month each no problem?

I am actually running it out of my pocket with HUGE help from Rossman on the hosting costs. I am more than happy to keep it up because in all honesty I enjoy running the site and writing code for it. However, the last thing I want to do is over-extend myself on the server by chewing up more bandwidth than I need to.

For AT alone it should be ok. I am making some plans in order to lessen the load and things should be back to normal soon enough.

If 20 people donated $1 each via NON-CREDIT CARD Paypal to rossman@gottadeal.com that would be perfect.

Or if 4 people paid $5/each, etc.

I'm old school I guess, I only have credit card paypal as I don't have my bank account linked to paypal b/c paypal's tactics scare me sometimes. Why is credit card paypal worse btw? more fees or something?
