Some toughts

Last couple of weeks whatboyswant grow from 15000 members to 20000 members.. and still growing fast.. A problem we have experinced is that a lot of bandwidth is lost.. we do over 50/60 gigs of datatraffic a day.. that will put us over the limit of 1200 gig a month.. Most of those gigs are now lost on the forum, and I am thinking of letting the maximum filesize to download for normal members to 1 MB and for Sponsor members unlimted.

If I don't do this it will be to expencive to run this site, and will give me problems to maintain my own live.. because more and more money goes to WBW these couple of months..

We are now working on promoting the sponsor membership(more features for sponsor members), and working on maybe starting a WBW store with merchendise and gadgets.. Working on making WBW a better and bigger communtie and deliver quality service. We are even thinking of starting own photoshoots from models,..

I hope you people stand positive against this, because I see this as the only course of action because I and Senja work almost full time on WBW.. and a lot of moderators working more the 1 or 2 hours a week on wbw..

I think your right about the 1mb max attach file.. (hmm, I gave you that tip, didn't I ). 1200 gig's is very much, and if you say that the're where 300 gigs xtra traffic on the forums i would have already done that

X-G: Problem is that I have to write the software for that.. and the 1 MB is download limit for normal users.. not UPLOAD limit.. I will protect those files with scripts.. that isn't to difficult.. Only users who have paid sponsor membership can download the > bigger then 1 MB files.. Maybe some people think this is stupid, but it's the only way to keep WBW in the air.

Im pretty new here, but i can already see the hard work that goes into the site, totally agree with the limit on file size. Ill be upgrading my membership very soon, this is one of the few sites that i think is worth supporting.

Watty: I have from the start try to keep everything as free as possible, and I can understand that some people don't have the money.. I and Senja work almost fulltime on making whatboyswant.com better place.. and making it more a communitie where people feel at home! I and Senja have tryed to find some good advertisers.. but failed in it.. We got 25.000++ unique vistors a day and over the 5.000.000 pageviews a day.. The new problem is that we have to find a provider that can give us unlimited bandwidth for a certain amount a month.. that will give us a lot of space to better our quality..

I love it that so much people support us and stand in one line with what we do! I certainly want to thank all you people for that support and positive vibes everybody is giving!

1-2 hours a WEEK? (grins)

How about a day?

But all in all, I agree with your plans, Diz! I know from my tasks here (which I full enjoy, btw) that you guys must work tremendous hours as it is. Ya do a great job - and I don't envy you.

i think its a good idea
bye the way i like to upgrade but how does this "paypal" work
i thought it olny work in the usa and not in europe

Actually thats one thing that has stopped me upgrading before. Im from England and i use neither Euro's or Dollars, which do i use? Also not sure how paypal works either.

I am of the opinion that WBW is one of the most people friendly sites on the net, I also think that you folks work very hard to keep it that way.

I do wonder how members get picked to be moderators, and what they do?

I dont consider a 1mb per upload limit for non sponors to be at all unjust.. Keep up the good work.

Watty && metalux: Paypal works worldwide! If you pay in Euro it will automaticly covert your valuta to the euro.. So you don't have to worry about that.. (that's one of the nicest things of paypal) If you have any questions about this, you can always contact us at: sales@whatboyswant.com with those questions, we gladly help you out!

Mickster: There are some moderators that haven't done anything for a long time, and I am going to have a crew cleanup in januari.. So I was talking about the avarage..

ParamourNH: Moderators, most people have asked to be a moderator, if those people are allready a long time arround and are trusted and doing a good job they are picked...
