View Full Version : VGLan Downtime

I'm officially back, so while I'm here don't expect any problems like this to happen again.
It seems that VGLan itself has had some downtime while I was gone. The site bandwidth had reached its limit (200 GB) due to the 'immense' traffic we've received in May. Some of you may suspect it was the music site, which in reality, was not. We've been getting a slew of sites hotlinking to the actual media or embedding it directly on their sites, causing bandwidth to raise on the hosting account.
We have upgraded our bandwidth, with a few extra bucks thanks to Stringer for the contribution.

Thanks Faltzer, but yah I kinda agree with sgt. pieman on the Youtube bandwidth.

Damn, Sam. Kinda funny how this place works, huh? The more you care for it, the more miserable you get. Meh, at least you don't have to stress out over this anymore.

Also, most of you old regs know it to be true, and don't deny it.
This has always been this site's attitude toward hiring staff in a nutshell.
The majority have no clue about the responsibility the job holds. It's all about being superior, a popular contest at that.

Reasons why you shouldn't take the mod spot.
-You're giving up 80% of your posting privileges if you take the mod spot.
- As a mod, you'll have to be Mr. Perfect, setting good examples for the sheep... I mean, members.
-You'll make enemies real quick if you take the job seriously (how ironic). :idort:
Basically, you're signing your soul away if you take the spot. Yeah, you'll get a little POWA, but I guarantee you'll be 10x more miserable since the day you took the job. It's best to just... you know, don't give a shit.

Besides, it's just more fun being a member on a site such as this. You're free to say whatever you want too. As a mod, you should conduct yourself in a more mature manner.
