poo-sticks. this is the first month i went over my bandwidth limit for my website…so i had to pay a little extra for additional bandwidth. argh. so last nite i went about to resolve some of these issues, b/c i dont really want to hop hosts again. first, i re-optimized alot of my older images…so theyre probably 25% smaller in file size. i also went back and modified the way my category archives are handled, since it had in the past just listed every single post of a particular category…which was especially problematic for categories like journal and cinema, each of which had over a hundred entries. eek. so now the category archives just lists the 10 most recent, and the rest as links. what else? oh yea…well, the main reason i actually went over isnt because i have an assload of people reading my site (right?). its because little cockmunches kept lifting images from my site and sucking up bandwidth use. its been a persistent problem…more recently than before. one wank in particular used an image of mine over 19,000 times for some italian chat client. grr…vafanculo! so we’ll see if any of this makes a difference next month. hopefully they will…but if they dont, someones going to hurt!!!
i hear you vp. i have the same exact problem. bandwidth, totally overlimit. i wish we could get rid of those spammers once and for all. those bastards!
i pore over my statistics everyday just to make sure nothing suspect is going on. but the people who use my images in forums (especially for their icons!)…its killing me because its hard to figure out which image they use. blah.
