          I think perhaps a overhall in the layout of the forumm without the need for large boxed posts, perhaps using the thread listing instead. The smiley characters are great for the kiddies, but not really warranted, plus you could really use 8-) if you were that desperate to include it in your post..

          Keep up the great site though..

              If it's not an issue, how come we get the "Server busy" message so often?

                        I am looking for ways to help Poly with cost. CPU or bandwidth is irrelevant. And I am trying to think long term. Not 20 minutes ahead.

                            To add to what Markos has already said: with the service contract Apolyton has with its hosting provider, EV1Servers.net (formerly RackShack), we have an allotted block of bandwidth per month. If and when that is exceeded there is an additional charge per GB used.

                            For the record, Apolyton has never exceeded its bandwidth allotment.

                              Right, but I bet they write those contracts with different "limits" like a cell-phone plan.

                                I have special permission from Mark to troll. It's a vet privilege.
