I had a fatal error on my 11:33 post attempt in UnAmericans. I had opened the home page in another window and clicked into Buffy 1 to copy a post.

(Didn't lose my post, though -- Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C. Always!)

edit: but that second open window was still open when I posted this.

Which does put our projected monthly bandwidth (for Oct) at 22GB, and our account is for 20GB. Good catch, John.

So, shall we put that one down to first-night, opening-party overabundance or what? Are we really going to go over? And what does it cost us to go over anyway?

It covers opening night, Buffy premiere, and the Firefly premiere. I'm going to wager it's quite the peak reading, but I will check with HostRocket to see what the penalty/cost for exceeding is.

Same data in an Excel chart, for those more visually minded:

We're going to have to start a promotional drive for skipping and skimming. Miracleman and billytea will be encouraged to post directly to COMM so people won't look through Natter for their posts. I can give up reading The Quotable Buffy for Lent.

I have to say that another site I'm affiliated with (the Save Farscape site over on WDsection.com) is having a terrible time with HostRocket. They've flung up their hands in despair and are attempting to relocate the entire site and all the forums. Hostrocket frelled up the redirect on savefarscape.com and has supplied almost nothing in the way of customer support.

Just... FYI.

Did we know that some bastard is squatting on buffistas.com?

No -- that's us. We have .net, .com and .org.
