If they didn't purchase enough bandwidth from the host then
I suppose it could :D

I love that place too, but lately I find problems to enter
there... if bandwith problems continue I think joy should
consider the donation sistem

I'm worried about what'll happen when there's actually
something on the site!

no, that wont happen here... well, it could happen - but i
guess our site has 10x more capacity than watmm. we're not
even remotely closed to our limits yet - but it will change
after the full site has been launched, of course.

and when its launched... can you get more bandwith so that
we era not close to the limit?

or how would you deal with that?

so, next time someone is thinking about starting a thread
called "omg" and then the only thing written inside is "yep"
and then having everyone respond to the thread "yep" and "i
like mallowmars"...

think that you might be fucking over the site with your
boredom, and someday you might try to log on, and *gasp* the
bandwith is exceeded!

Why don't you just delete old threads... like there's
thousands... the old ones serve no purpose really...
wouldn't that save bandwith? i have no idea.

i personally think that would be kind of a good idea too...

im mean its not like many people use the search function
anyways...

but I guess they want to have archives?

Why not have only 1000 threads, the newest ones... at a
time.. any over that delete..

hmm.. why do they want archives?

cause if they only had a certain amount of threads, people
wouldn't have to be so anal about topics not being to their
standards of worth. spamming still shouldn't be allowed...
but things would be more relaxed .

better to delete useless threads rather than old usefull
ones

how are they usefull?

i think useless and really old threads should be deleted...
if you need to save space.. that is.

if no more than 30 post are in a thread they should get
deleted i my opinion

"autechre on radio 1 27th may" (10 posts)
im mean when will that ever come in handy..... please

I don't spam... sure i've had conversations here, but im not
saying people shouldn't write crap, or spam, or talk or
anything.. all im saying is that there's like a million
threads no one ever uses.. and it's just an idea of saving
space. that's all.

Points: 17620 Status: Lurker



unless i'm wrong, and i entirely could be, the old threads
shouldn't matter as far as bandwidth goes... that's more of
a server storage space issue.

bandwidth is only refering to the actual amount of data
being sent over the net, so, if nobody ever clicks on the
old threads, they take up no bandwidth.

the streaming and downloading of songs is prolly taking up a
sizeably larger chunk of bandwithdth than dinky little
threads that probably only amount to 5k of bandwidth.

course, they do clutter up the board.

that my good man is correct. bandwidth is only the amount of
data being transferd to and from the site. not how much
space the site is taking up.

He was referring to Zeus, not you. ;)

And giginger, nice stupid quip you just made there, ;) If
you are just totally oblivious to the fact that this site
has ZERO content besides a messageboard that forgot there
was a life outside Warp records, then I understand.
Otherwise, your just another lameass who likes to "take
sides"....

What the fuck is going on today? Is it bash giginger day or
something? That is twice now his comments have been taken
totally out of context by people just looking to be
controversial...

He wasn't racist before and there was NOTHING in his comment
in this thread that was "taking sides" with anyone. Fuck,
if anything it was a slight at phobia & crew for the time it
is taking to get xltronic up and running.

"I'm worried about what'll happen when there's actually

How the fuck did you read inbetween the lines on that
statement and come up with some sort of pot shot being
taken?

I mean the topic of this thread is the only reason you are
here tonight.

" I am
trying to comment on the fact that stupid pot shots between

message boards are perpetuating a RETARDED attitude on both

boards,"


that followed on from:

"you are just totally oblivious to the fact that this
site

hmm....good one...

Always there for ya, man, oh, and "this thread" isn't the
only reason I'm here, you assumptive prick. The REAL reason
I'm here is because Watmm is down, Planet-µ's forum bores
me to tears most of the time, I'm at work and bored, I read
random threads, I see giginger's stupid post, I comment on
it, your ass decides to try to fight me on it, etc....

No you are wrong, and you seem incapable of comprehending
even simple statement...I said the topic of this thread (ie.
watmm forum is down) is the reason you are here...you deny
it and then type "The REAL reason
I'm here is because Watmm is down,"

Anyway, I have nothing more to say on this.

Trust me, I've been here alot more than one day.....I read
this MB, don't post often(because of pure indifference to
content, which is its own subject). I just find stupid pot
shots like what giginger originally said to be really dumb
and wanted to comment on it, as that is my right at a
message board....yeah, that Warp comment was a bit
underhanded, I admit(still stand by it, though), but it's
how I feel. I'm happy with your attitude on this, nacmat,
very productive.
