[image of R'osity with gun pointed at foot] 'cause that's just what you're doin'! shooting yourself in your proverbial foot. it isn't a question of bandwidth. it isn't a question of heavy usage. it isn't a question of too many images. it's most definitely a question of poor network administration, bad software and greed. R'osity isn't "giving" us anything. we on the other hand are providing them with a means of making money. it's not out of the goodness of their heart that they allow us to post. we post, others view and in the process R'osity sells its wares and peddles to the merchants who sell thru them. i worked for 5 years as a sys admin on a 65,000 user network. yes...that number has the correct amount of zero's. we were the 2nd largest Novell network in the world...2nd only to the U. S. Dept. of Defense. so i know what it's like to have heavy usage. as of 10:45 local time, there are 1363 users on R'osity. a 5 blade server "farm" and proper bandwidth could put this site in the stratosphere...if R'osity would spring for the money to do it.

you folks of course do what you think best for yourself. i think it's time to wave bye bye. i've made some great friends here and will remain in contact with them regardless of my status online. been real, been fun...take care one and all. censorship just isn't my cup of tea. and for monetary reasons to boot.
