This Site's Heavy Load-Part II, The Unhijacked Version

[Helen™]

Heh. *nods*

Helen - did Hawthorn not empty the dishwasher again? Why are you opting to punish her with making a scultpure?

Hawthorn has apparently forgotten we have a dishwasher.  I think the best way we can show our love for Priscellie is to make Hawthorn do something she hates, with love.

gotcha.

That is the single best piece of logic I have ever read,(shows how messed up it i in my head) By the way i believe the tread has bee hijacked again.

I call NOT IT !!

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

NOT IT!!!


*still snickering over the Captain Morgan comment.* I will never see Rum and Coke the same way ever again.

Of course it was hijacked.  I freaking hijacked it myself, then lacked the will to get it back on track.  This always happens to me.  Eventually, Fred will notice it and move it to McAnally's.

And yeah, I'm rather proud of that bit of logic myself.

[IIIMarconeIII]

hmmmm... how long do you think we can pretend it is still ontrack before he moves it?

 btw did it go down for a few minutes last night? (see still on topic)

[iago]

It's gone down a lot in the last 24 hours.  I got woken up at 7:15am today by the little monitoring-bell going off.

This might have something to do with it:



Think you can spot where Small Favor came out?

[Helen™]

I don't have your resources, but it looked to me as if we started getting an increase in members and guests a few days before the book came out, and it looks as if your graph bears that out.  This is a good thing for JB, and if people will click on the freaking ads, a good thing for you.

Thanks for everything, Fred.  You rock.

[iago]

The number of clicks are still relatively minor, but the increased traffic appears to have increased the clicks' intrinsic value somehow, so there's definitely SOME increase in fund influx.  Enough to support another server upgrade if we need it? -- That's a time will tell thing.

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

Exactly what is the projected expense for a server upgrade? Perhaps a fundraising drive via paypal might help if some of us on here are interested in throwing a voluntary $20 - $25 your way?

I haven't priced it out yet.  We've already made the jump to something in the $50-$75/month territory (just for the forum site); the next step up probably gets into several hundred a month, and I'd like to see the site revenues get a bit more consistently able to generate that before I make that move.  Amazon carries the lion's share (and at the moment is also putting some money in my pocket, which given that I'm self-employed I'd like it to continue to do), but it's difficult to predict from month to month.  Google ad-clicks by themselves are barely covering the current costs; they'd have to step up several times more, beyond the boost they're already getting from the increased traffic, to support a move to a hundreds-per-month type affair.

What's your bandwith at now?

[cephis]

I am sure that it's not Comcastic!

[IIIMarconeIII]

do we just have to click on the links for you to get credit? what do we have to do exactly?

[Helen™]

Yeah, just click on the ads.  I click on the Borders ads.  You get 20% off coupons that way.
