Bianca's Bandwidth Bitching Irony
from the too-good-a-title dept
Okay, this article had too good a title to pass up. It’s mainly about how Bianca’s Smut Shack threatened to shut down because they couldn’t afford the bandwidth costs, and in response readers started posting more, driving up bandwidth costs and obviously making the problem worse. Great, now they’re probably going to get California-style public service announcements asking people to conserve bandwidth. How long until sites with too much traffic start having “rolling blackouts” as well?

Seen that
A lot of free web hosts have bandwidth caps. Particularly when somebody puts up a video, but sometimes just a popular page, will be replaced with a message that the user has exceeded their bandwidth quota for the day, try again tomorrow. I don’t see why that couldn’t be applied to larger sites.
