boy am I a retard
 

Wow, how could I have been so stupid? I bought a skin from insidethepixel.com and now it has eaten up all the bandwidth for the month on my forum. I didnt know that graphics like that ate up so much bandwidth. Am I a retard or what? :mad:

I think it was more of huge sigs piled ontop of huge attachments with a huge skin.

I would have look more closely see what one was the kill on it... but is only 4 days.

any suggestions on how to avoid this in the future? I'd really hate to delete a skin I paid $40 for and another $40 to remove the copyright.

Best bet is go into awstats in your cpanel ~ sees alot of mp3 bandwidth, and so on.

WTF? mp3 bandwidth? I didnt use any mp3's :confused:

And I cant really go into my cpanel right now it says bandwidth exceeded grrrrr

Well once it is back up you can go into it.

Also this is a subject is better placed on the hosting site rather then vbulletin.

ok fine whatever im gonna go kill myself now bye

am i allowed to answer or will thread be closed LOL

How much bandwidth do u have a month - i noticed u have the proarcade installed on your forums so i would look more at that than the skin u have.You be surprised at how much BW all them swf games use up.

Please, say im a retard I beg of you.

I am capped at 3GB a month so I guess eliminating the arcade and having smaller signature limits would help?

concentrate on your arcade - do u have a lot of members playing it ?

when they play each game even though the game is in their cache it always downloads it again.U need to check your web logs as 3 gig is ok for a small board.

and as for u being a retard well id just like to say ............
