site down?

[Jeremy]

Ouch. How much will it cost?

It'll cost a little lot and it might be awhile since storm wants to hire a guy to introduce the podcasts.

I thought a domain cost like, 5 bucks.

10 actually (a year), but that's not what we're buying.

You're buying Bandwith?

We have to get an upgrade for another month. So technically we also get more space... but it's only a month and we don't need space.

In other terms: $5.



-_-

Which is a lot considering it's only to have it up for 8 days.

CAPTCHA?

Image verify jumbo.

Can't the comments folder be deleted, erasing all past comments as well, and then everything is OK?

Well when posting, the bots took up bandwidth, which is different than space. And there's a monthly bandwidth limit, which it went over. The used more than triple what we usually use.

Wow what a sudden surprise this morning I hope you guys get this situation under control so that the site can come back up!

Wait but isn't there a way to prevent it? Like before a post can be entered you'd have to type what the characters in the box says. You know like when you register on a site it ask for you to copy the characters you see in the box to prevent bots?

well it's definitely not foolproof.

@ Storm hasn't added any of the stuff yet. He said once the sites back up he'll add the stuff.

Maybe you should make the person login before posting any comments?

That sounds good.

Well if the CAPTCHA doesn't work, we'll have to do that.
