    I just noticed that there are now 600 registered users. And whats more a good majority of them that joined in the last month are regular posters. I think we should congratulate our mods and admins with a display of kitchenware torture in their honour for reaching another milestone. Congratulations!

    I tapped out quite awhile ago, and now it's as long as a staff member ain't got it, it's open season. You guys can have fights to the death to determine who reigns supreme over what tool if another person has it.

    That can be arranged...I'll just cut you up with my spork. The board definitely is growing as of late...the bandwidth usage shows that much. Not even at the the 1/3 mark and we've used 2.6gb. Last month we used 6gb total. It's looking more like 8gb or so this month, maybe more.

    There is a reason why Cutco. came out with an steak and bone knife. Mainly it was invented for cutting through muscle and bone like a very thin heated wire through butter. Keep that in mind to those who might try and steal it. Ye Be Warned.

    Yes! 600 users, wow. When do you think this type of growth will slow down? It has to at some point, right? And yes, anyone going for my Woodubber Spatoon will die.

    Post a few suggestions how to cut back on that B/w if you would. Does stuff like linking to our avatars instead of uploading them to the board cut down on B/w, cutting back on the amount of pics (can't remember if uses the sites B/w or not if the images are inserted via linkage code)

    Only avatars really take any bandwidth. The bandwidth isn't really a problem, I've got a terabyte of transfer per month, so its not even a percent of my total allocated bandwidth a month.

    A terabyte of transfer? Running a web host requires a lot of bandwidth. You should see some of the transfer I've seen. To do any sort of high-quality 24/7 video streaming with a some users you need at least a 10 mbit transfer, which is somewhere in the 5TB range I believe. Can't remember exactly.

    *Nods*

    *Sage voice* Other fandoms are breaking down and facing off with the evil slash gnomes. They've taken up arms and found a humble, cloaked with darkness fortress residing above this land of idiots.

    I guess a lot of people are starting to like the idea of a 'darker' Harry since he is such a ponce in the books.
