I was thinking, whenever I look at the HL/HL2 editing problems, it's always new people, and quite a few don't stick around. Maybe you could do it that you have to of posted 100 times before you can submit a question in there. [addsig]

I think you need a slap for that Sloth Thats gotta be about the worst suggestion I've ever heard man! That would be in direct contradiction to what editing sites like this exist for, and would only go to further the "closed community" reputation we seem to be earning that most of us want to get rid of.

Just a suggestion But it would solve the bandwidth problem

No it wouldn't.

If there were less people coming on the site, then less bandwidth would be used, hence my suggestion.

Bandwidth usage isn't determined by number of people. It's determined by data transfered. I have no doubt that being dicks to new comers and making them leave will not stop them from downloading people maps (which are the REAL bandwidth monsters) or looking at tutorials.

So, how exactly would it make a meaningful impact on the bandwidth usage?

Yeah. I think we already concluded that limiting the number of people is a pretty s**tty solution to a bandwidth problem. It would be just a mite pointless.

Don't forget that everything $loth says is also pointless.

This....i'm afraid is true.

My "theory" was that if there were less people on the site, then less bandwidth would be used. Guess I was wrong.

Having "minimum post limits" is a bad idea. One reason why is because some idiots might come along and have a spam-fest, just so they can ask a question. Perhaps a better idea would be a lengthier procedure for a first time post... Another reason is that the editing forums are one of the main reasons people come here!

Maybe the snarkpit is TOO appealing. Maybe Lep should change the layout a bit; a flashy green with pink flowers instead of the sober black background. This way, the common visitors will be disturbed and run away, and only the REAL snarkpitters will stay... Or not...

On average, how much bandwidth does this site do everyday?

Well taking into acount its a 31 day month, and we have 60GB max and 1GB left, about 1.9Gb ish a day. So we should conk out about 5pm ish UK time I reckon, maybe earlier because we will all be on here trying to get stuff before it dies. Nm...

My idea- make it so you have to be a registered user to view tutorials or anything.
