Mara 29 Posted October 31, 2007 Wouldn't it be something if all those people actually joined up. But then they probably wouldn't come back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) yeah, it's been crashing on me too It's your fault! I checked the webstats and apparently somebody posted a link to GB on StumbleUpon.com That's an idea though... Hmmm... Edited November 1, 2007 by Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted November 1, 2007 Now who would go and do a thing like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayingel 24 Posted November 1, 2007 but i didn't link motivational posters...only the front page...and motivational posters is where i'm seeing all of the guests... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted November 2, 2007 I've been getting a lot more guests at my forum too...lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted November 2, 2007 Well I hope it eases off anyway, because we've already used a lot of the bandwidth for this month, so if it carries on GB will go down in about 9 days for the rest of the month. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ayingel 24 Posted November 2, 2007 i just checked some stuff. first: i linked this a few months ago, and the boom didn't start until the motivational posters thread opened up. second: i have not linked the motivational posters page, so i don't know why all the guests are there.

Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted November 2, 2007 nobody's blaming you for anything. we just can't live without our GB fix, so if it crashes for a couple days (weeks, months......), we'd all be screwed. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayingel 24 Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) i'm just getting it out of the way that it isn't my fault. i blame du. and i just checked anyway...i didn't link it. i only mentioned it. the post wasn't even edited.. Edited November 2, 2007 by Ayingel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) All of my poster pics are linked to my photobucket so it wasn't me! Also, I found all of the pics I found were google searched and taken from other forums. So it's not unreasonable to assume that these guests are just searching for motivational posters as well and are hitting up GB for them.

Andy 60 Posted November 3, 2007 I'm just saying that if GB goes down you'll just have to deal with it until 1st December. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CorSec 5 Posted November 5, 2007 That list of referred links reminded me GB has a lo-fi version. www.galacticbasic.net/lofiversion/index.php/ Basically GB without the style/formatting. Additionally no sigs. Great for surfing in class / at work. Or if you just hate obnoxious sigs. Forgive me if this wasn't news to anyone else :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
