FortuneCity allows a 500MB of traffic per month. If I post a pic that is 50K in size, and 20 people view it on this forum, that is 1 MB of traffic (20 * 50K = 1000K, which ~= 1 MB)
1 MB is actually exactly 1024K, but that is a minor technicality.
So I've just used 1 MB of traffic. Generally after about two days, 2000 people or more have viewed a pic that I have posted. 2000 * 50K = 100,000K, or about 100 MB.
Generally I post two pics at a time and they are usually around 75K-100K in size. I have to delete and re-open a new FortuneCity account every two days because this forum generates so much traffic, that that is how long my account with them lasts 😉 Funny eh?
Now the other thing is FortuneCity and many other free web page sites use something to the affect of a bandwidth flood analyzer (I don't know too much about this nor do I know *exactly* how it works, this is basically what it *does* though), which basically monitors traffic for a large influx of requests (like what happens here when I post a really goof tickling pic) that it bogs down the server to x% of its optimal performance level. This triggers an alarm and will disable the site that generated the high amount of traffic in such a short amount of time. The site is usually re-enabled in about 15 minutes or so. This prevents certain types of attacks on web servers.
Got it? 😕
I hope that clears things up, I can explain more thoroughly if need be, just ask 🙂
Sorry I can't afford a real domain. I should stop posting until I do.
Peace, have a great weekend, I'm heading off to the Celtic Festival tomorrow. I'll visit later tonight around 11:00 PM EST if anyone has questions; I'll watch this thread regarding this at that time. We should really find an affordable way we can all post our pics to, and everyone pitch in a little like the idea of the archives. There has got to be a way to do it, we perhaps just haven't thought hard enough or maybe just have not dug deep enough.
I hope all that made sense, I'm sorta typing in a hurry.
Cya 😀
