Default What do you want out or a club?
Hi,

One of the reasons why we can't host on say...my connection (ADSL....should we start another "discussion" about which is better ?), is the amount of bandwidth we are pass through. There are only 150 members on the board, and there have been 80000 hits in 2 months. With 100K page per hit, that's 8GB of data. Imagine if there were 500 members, we are looking at 20 to 50 GB of upload bandwidth per month. That's a lot of bandwidth and it would make Shaw/Telus very suspicous. Rogue FTP/HTTP servers (like warez/mp3) are easy to hide in Shaw/Telus networks, but a big discussion group with 20 to 50 GB of data transfer is not.
