Mojo sends me the bill for last months bandwidth.... $442!!!!

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Seems allot of traffic is coming over from Traces site to look at our stuff....

I have two choices to make, either make this a pay site, off block all access to "non-members" like alot of sites have gone to.

Either way, big changes need to be made.

:?

Yeah, Yikes! Our bandwidth jumped from just shy of 10 gigs a month to over 250!!!! Looks like we caught somebody's attention.

I have shut down the photo gallery. I am killing the bannerpics. There are now only 5. I will be deactivating non members from being able to view the site. I will be deleting any members who do not average at least 2 posts a month.

I am looking into setting up a paypal account to accept donations to keep the site running. Once we get that squared away, I may turn some features back on.

More to follow...

screw it, i'm out, first Trace asks me if im selling enough decompressors that i should be a paying advertiser on the other site, now i'm going to have to pay for this, wtf!
theres 2 things i'll never pay for:
- internet titties
-and a place to read about how fast guys think they are

Bob calls me and says he's been paying this for a long time, not knowing what it was, so he's got til the 15th or something to figure out if he'll renew it or shut it down!

Thanks for the free ride!

I dunno yet. I have real life work to attend to at the moment. It's not a massive emergency or anything. We'll work it out. I'd say keep going. No worries. Your pictures are hosted elsewhere, so it really doesn't affect us.

HOLY CRAP!!!

Combing through the bill, it seems this chat addon we have been using is killing us. It seems they have a billing structure for it that is similar to texting. It's like $.02 per message. Every time you log in or out or do anything, we get hit. It seems we haven't used it much at all until a few weeks ago. Wish I had seen that. Goddamn fine print... That's a little more involved to disable, I'll have to get to it tonight.

Man this blows! What happened to the days of (Near)free hosting!?

Danny, hijack one of your servers at Sunrise to host banned....or I'll do it here at UC! (If the risk of getting caught was low)

Mojo sent me the bill..... Mama, Jaze, and Ride Red will all be getting hit with a "Chat Bill"... The "log in" and "log out" fee's are horrible and on top of the bandwidth fee!!

I gets thats the fine print MJ was talking about....

Friggin' Croatian server company!

:evil:

Rossty, check your PM box, I sent you a payment schedule for your "adveriser" fee's.

Sorry

I didn't realize anyone was using the chat. Every time I login no one is in chat. Me and Brit talked once in there when we first got it I think. Or maybe when I first signed up. I am 3 timezones away though so everyone is in bed or still workin while I am on. lol

Fuckum all bob If these people that are just lerkers boot them the hell off this site.

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

Like I said I'm more than happy to pay but stop redistributing my wealth to these assholes that can't or won't sign up.

How about a free t-shirt give-a-way?

Just donate $150.00 and get a free banned shirt and hat.

Think about it, If you get a couple hundred of those we could afford to do a little more riding in during the week.

When all the other assholes are at work.

Like my Uncle once told me;

This black guy, This Mexican and this Fag walk into a bar and the bartender said;

GET THE FUCK OUT!!!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
