Over the last 2 months I've had to pay an extra fee to the people who host the site, because we have been using more than the allowed bandwidth.
Can anyone figure out why so much bandwidth is being used? I don't see why the site should be so popular over the last 2 months.

When I first saw this post I opened and gasped! I thought reach was back! Maybe you should close down some of the really old topics.

Just a guess... Uh.................question! What's bandwidth? To keep it simple: it's the amount of data transferred from the Host computer (I guess we're talking about Proboards12 here) to the Client computers (your computer, my computer, etc.). Maybe you should close down some of the really old topics. I don't think that helps, as most old topics have already died and do not consume any bandwidth. |

Should we just not create more topics? Or.....................................I can't believe I'm saying this.....................................must be a member?
Or perhaps we delete members who just do stupid things!
Like about 500 members with no posts........

Again, no gain there. As you already said, those members don't post anything. No postings = no bandwidth. They only consume space, nothing more... And cutting down on the topics? Don't think that'll help much. What really counts is the amount of viewings and postings... on this site... *thoughtful silence*... Heeey, wait a minute...! We could kick you out! That should cut down the amount of posts a fair bit!  |

Hmmm... maybe that works, but you might scare people away with that kind of restrictions.
