hey diz...

im not sure if you will be willing to answer this but....

just out of general curiosity, how much bandwith does WBW use on a monthly basis?

and do you have a problem with people using programs to automatically rip the images from the galleries?




*edit - no i will not tell any of you how to use programs to rip images from the site

Yes, I believe that's grounds for an immediate ban.

i think thats true, thats why members pay sponsorship for the 'download all attachments' feature.


members pay for that, dont see why hed allow people just rip the site knowingly

that isnt what i ment...



i ment does he catch many people doing it

Hey Diz . . .
Don't make it bad . . .
Take a slow site, and make it faster

Id be surprised if most people on this site new how.

you would be suprised how much noobs know about leeching

Didnt he code some things in to make that impossible?

Whatever the case, I doubt he is going to tell you the useage. And the question about using ripping programs is pretty much a no-brainer.

no, but then again it's amazing how many website are out there with pics with WBW logo on them.

and how would you know?

lets ban burn?

because im not dumb

i know that if you can find the actual address for the images in the galleries you can mass rip the images from the site

honestly i dont think diz would have that big of a problem with it since someone could download about 5000 images at 100k each and it would be like one person downloading a large movie from the gallery
and the majority of images on the site if you are not a sponsor are less than 100k

ripping images from a site is more of a pride issue for most webmasters than it is a bandwith issue
unless alot of people find out how to do it... and do it all at once


and jack why wouldnt diz give out the usage?
just about every major website gives out its usage... they want people to know how popular they are
WBW is ranked in the top 6,000 on alexa.... im just curious how much bandwith a site that popular uses

well to REALLY and HONESTLY answer your questions youll have to wait for diz to get back.

scott, i liked your song.
