Yes, "traffic" seems to be the most appropriate word in so many ways. If I was 30 years younger I might be studying non-linear dynamics just because it is so visceral. :deep sigh: I'd almost think that having the galleries, forums, freestuff, and store on separate servers would make sense, anyway... if some stupid hacker want to avenge himself (say for being banned, or having his art taken down by unappreciative philistines), or if he wanted to siphon info from the database, or simply leave his mark, he'd only get one section and not everything. And not just hackers... lightning, fire, hurricanes... it just makes more sense to split up the assets once something gets this big. Carolly
