Bandwidth Crisis

We've just got a huge bill for bandwidth - think of a large scarery number and times it by 5.

So please - do not email us any images - we can not host them.

If you want to make images - and we want you to - then PLEASE set up an account with homestead.

it's time

to set up that paypal account, rob... :)

maybe we need a tutorial on setting up a image posting account

on a free host? I'll have a look into if you want, combine that with the guide to posting image and links?

that sounds like a good idea to me

can't hurt, like

Just FYI

I set up an account on tripod, like quite a few people here. Seems to work fine to me...

(

bantam, Fri 16 Nov 2001, 10:07, archived)

Great. It does

How come some tripod stuff works - and other stuff doesn't?

(

rob, Fri 16 Nov 2001, 10:09, archived)

i think that

.co.uk works .com doesn't

Out of interest, is it this board that takes up the bandwidth, or the games and stuff?

monkeon schmonkeon, Fri 16 Nov 2001, 10:13, archived)

Although saying that

it seems like my pictures are playing up / being slowcoaches. Maybe they're being attacked by those giant snails...

(

bantam, Fri 16 Nov 2001, 10:15, archived)

the board + images = 50% of bandwidth

this isn't good.

maybe a sponsorship deal?

"b3ta, in association with Shipman's Fish Paste presents..."

(

AndyK, Fri 16 Nov 2001, 10:34, archived)

you laugh ...

... but stranger things have happened.

(

rob, Fri 16 Nov 2001, 10:43, archived)

I'm now compiling a mental list of sponsors

I know Nicey would advocate McVities,
Pep would have to be Kellogs (as they named a cereal after her),
hmmm... Crab Bloke? Well I suppose it wouldn't be West's fish canning factory...
And as for Rob? Do slipknot do sponsorship deals?

Use planet

Erm.. Energis Squared... They don't send us our bill for bandwidth, ever - despite it being 100 times over the limit.

You know that

if you post a clock you have to make it work in real time. World time functionality will be rewarded as will dancing on the hour.

(Esteban, Fri 16 Nov 2001, 8:38, archived)

make a clock this weekend

Footy song that seem appropriate:

to the tune of walking in a winter wonderland:

Oh the Scousers give thanks,
Coz He only kills Mancs,
Walking in a Shipman wonderland
