I know that it was discussed to have people not just rest on the message center, because the refresh, of course, uses up resources. Could this be part of the problem? I try not to rest there, but sometimes do anyway, and I'm sure everyone else is like me, cuz, well, I sure am.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Only if it's on.

all you need to do is set your refresh to 0 minutes, right?
I just close the window if I think I'm going to be gone for a bit. Not difficult.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
What about downloading an archived file?
The files in the archive are no longer in the database, so there is no server load with them. The only cost to the system is the bandwidth used during the download.

Thanks for all the fish.
And bandwidth is not an issue right now?

Correct.
eta: In fact, now that I look at it, even the quote on the Archives page has been static since day one, so as near as I can tell, it never made any calls to the database at all.

Okay. Anything I can do to help with the archiving of closed threads?

In July, this site used about 20 GB of bandwidth. You have 36 GB. So far this month, you've used almost 12 GB.
Also, bandwidth is an easy fix. You can always buy more. Resources NSM.
