I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks! That's what I need to come up when anyone clicks on a link they've saved.

No wetmen? lip trembles

I capped the traffic at 65GB. Which it hit yesterday, just more than halfway through the cycle. That's almost a third of the traffic that the hosting account allows (the other sites are much less active). It's being reached earlier and earlier it seems. I like the site, but there's only so much money I'm going to let it cost me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It's being reached earlier and earlier it seems.

It's the pics of Tim in glasses, isn't it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You should charge people a dollar to look at the most popular pictures.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Is it just Wetmen, or all of the sites, ita?

Also, would you be willing to take contributions? eta: Or what Jesse said.

Well, when the spectacles traffic spikes, it's certainly all his fault.

You should charge people a dollar to look at the most popular pictures.

I should smack people in the head who hotlink from high-traffic pages, and then take their dollar. Even swapping in the "okay now stop" graphic eats megs a month. I'm not sure how to make it smaller, yet effective.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Call it "Premium Membership" or something.

There could also be a fanclub.

Wetmen gets easily twice as much traffic as the other sites, so when provocateuse gets near its limit, I throttle wetmen to save from excessive overages.

would you be willing to take contributions?

I'm certainly not proud enough (anymore) to say no -- you can use the paypal button on the page that now shows up for [link] if you'd like.
