That I have exceeded my "bandwidth quota in the period beginning on 2002-08-01. Your quota is set to 10485760000 bytes, and your site has consumed 11715957479 bytes beyond that quota."

Yah.. Um... I turned off things such as the search and avatars, and such... How else can I further optimize my board? I dont have many hacks... I just kinda got thrown into this position of running the board today, and I have no idea how to deal with this....

I will try and talk to the owner of the site, and see if he can talk to my host and get more bandwidth or something... but...

Try replacing buttons such as "new thread" "user cp", etc for plain text, it will cut down on bandwidth a lot.

Done.
Thanks...

Hmm... now that I think of it, the 11 GB is probably the total bandwidth used, not what we've gone past the limit, thats just impossible unless someone has set up a file server on our space.

I'm gonna try and look into this further.

Unless they made a mistake...

Actually, it turns out that was right... we have a 20GB plan and it was split in half between the two forums we run (seperate licenses) and the main one, Warpstorm, used about 20GB worth of BW.... our second one Libra Wars, used 2.3

In total, we used 23GB worth of bandwidth this month... Not bad for 83 members eh?
