# wonder how much bandwith b3ta eats up a day...

# s-s-so i'm guessing... more than 2.1 jiggabytes?
*brain explodes*

# the site uses around 2 terrabytes a month
but that doesn't include all the images that you lot host and the odd bit of flash we sometimes stick on free servers.

# bloody nora!

# nope

Anyway. No more questions as I am off to town for a bite to eat.

# I wonder how bites taste.
Probably a bit like bytes. That is - salty.

# well, i thought it'd be 2.1 jiggabites..
but he says "the site uses around 2 terrabytes a month" so i guess not...

# you mean Giga i think

# oh, it's 1.21, i didn't know the exact number
and i would pronounce giga with a g and not a j.. and it sounds funnier to use a j, because BTTF is so old-fashioned..


oh i dunno...

# there's no such thing as unlimited bandwidth
it's a myth propagated by hosting companies with watertight abuse policies

# I've been pushing Blueyonder quite hard for over a year
and they haven't tried to reign me in yet. So far they've been unlimited with everyone as far as I've heard.

# front page
next to the best of the board

but i don't understand the point of it, it's more of a news thing, seeing as the newsletter is for links..

it's not had links in ages really..

# they're the bestest links.
(I helped save b3ta! Sunshine Elephant, Mon 12 Jul 2004, 20:50, archived)
# no - there isn't much point these days
if we filled the blog with links then it would compete with the newsletter.

ho-hum

As previously stated, b3ta is very puerile. Although images which could be interpreted as being pornographic are not shown explicitly, and marked 'NSFW' – 'Not Safe For Work' – b3ta's content is considered by many to be distasteful. b3ta also holds the somewhat dubious honour of being one – if not the only – website to be banned under six categories by web filtering company N2H2 (see database.n2h2.com/cgi-perl/catrpt.pl). Some of these categories, particularly 'Nudity' and 'Sex', are seen as undeserved by some. Regardless, many companies and schools use N2H2 to filter out their employees' or students' web requests, and b3ta undeniably reduces office productivity.

that's great

# hahahaha
but swearing is hardly NSFW now, seeing as b3ta doesn't allow <h1> anyway...

Do you know how much bandwidth you will use if it's newslettered?
