BOS Site not working sometimes? (1 Viewer)

[~ ReNcH ~]

I go on BOS somewhere between 4pm and 9pm some days, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. I could in the middle of posting a reply and it just won't work. Neither will the homepage or any other page for that matter. Is it a problem with my Internet connection or BOS? (I doubt it's my connection since all other sites work e.g. Google, Hotmail, Yahoo etc)

It is a problem with the server during high traffic times. Dont worry, a new one is on the way.

is it a new one at ev1servers or will you move the site back to australia?

We're still with EV1 for the moment.

We can't afford any of the Australian options.

Does it actually cost you more to run BOS than you get from advertising?

 

[Lazarus]

Yes. Quite a bit more.

We actually don't make very much from advertising... we're living off dance parties and seminars.

Get all the members that joined after jan 2004 to give you their credit card details.

Make people register to view the forum, because i notice that 50% of the people on here at any one time are usually guests.

Very good idea.

Very good idea.

Making this a closed forum can turn alot of potential new comers away.....its kinda like a try before you buy thing. If a student doesn't know what its like, and all they get is a register screen when they want to see the forums, the chances are the students aren't going to bother.

Plus, the idea of this is a help site, anyone should be able to read it.

So where else do the admin get the $$$ from? Do the admin use their income as well?

Couple of posts up

As soon as PayPal comes back I know I'll be putting money in!

yes 1/2 the people on are unregistered, but i agree don't make it private since if you don
t know if the help will be good, you won't register

i would think the main site eats more bandwidth than these forums anyway right?
