# Rathergood.com needs a favour
Hi chaps- in a week's time I'm going to lose a bit over half my bandwidth, which is mostly used by several flash virals. Each of them individually is handleable, but together they would sink my server. Is there anyone who could host a couple of them? If I could disperse them I could keep rathergood running, and as I say, each individual one is not too much of a load (some more than others).

Anyone fancy helping me keep rathergood alive?

# Thanks chaps
cliff is tiny - 60k - the problem is with the frightened boy and the blode series really, which are much bigger and can get a lot of traffic. manic - email winging its way to you now.

# Does anyone have enough owner ship
of the web server that they use that they could do some mod_rewrite stuff to do some dynamic proxying for Joel, that way we could spread the load even lighter by redirecting each request off to a bunch of different places. That way folks could take the whole lot and the proxy server would just choose you at random. I'm think randomised plain text mapping here Woo tech clicky
