Hi. So what host is this web site on? Verio? How much bandwidth is your monthly limit? Is this site becoming too successful?! Or do you need more bandwidth? I actually found your website stats publically available on google. Since your site uses a board that is low graphics it consumes far less bandwidth than one that does. Which is good! Its faster for people on slower connections and it does what it does best which is provide excellent resource for information and conversation without all the bells and whistles. Anyway unless I am mistaken for Jan 2003 you has about 32 gigs of bandwidth usage which quite a lot. This site IS a great success! You must have a dedicated server then? I have a site which has graphics and a typical monthly usage is 2 to 3 gigs which is far less and its not on a dedicated server! There may be ways that you can ban different search engines except google and that would reduce your server traffic.
Anyway just wondering and if I can offer any advice to help.J

No bandwidth charges! :-)

You don't actually need Google, they're at the "Statistics" link at the top of the main page:

No, it's still a shared one.

Hmm, that's an interesting idea, but then fewer people would find their way here, right?
I think the problem is that the Perl scripts aren't efficient enough and I need to move to MySQL or something like that...
