So...RedRelay What's Up?
July 1, 2008 11:07AM CST
Alright, alright, ladies and gents. Here's the story on
RedRelay. It's really big, and difficult to manage when
both Ian and I are on productions. Unfortunately, I
don't have the expertise in coding to make this site as
kickin' as I want it to be, and I don't have the time or
money to make my own dedicated web hosting server. So I
must rely on a service host which limits my monthly
bandwidth.
Because we are so popular,
we get more traffic than our host could give us on the
existing plan. Today, I upgraded to the largest package
they have- which still may not be enough. Secondly, I
don't trust any other host that's less expensive for
more and I can't afford a more expensive, more reliable
hosting service. Not to mention the nightmare I would
encounter moving 60GB of files and usernames, passwords,
settings, etc.
So we are getting ready to
implement some guidelines to how much can be uploaded
and/or exist on someone's account at any given time
unless we can get some honest moderation by our users on
how much they want to download. I've always asked
uploaders to be reasonable with how much they upload and
how quickly they do so. On the whole most are good in
that department. Others will recieve an email. I want to
help this community because I believe in it
wholeheartedly, but I have to set something up or
RedRelay will go back to being this untamed beast in my
life. Someone once said that my generosity would
eventually dry up. This really isn't true-
unfortunately, I don't have as much time as I did when I
started RedRelay. And in a professional sense, that's
awesome. I'm getting to do what I wanted to do back
then- much thanks to many RedUsers and specifically Ian
Bloom, who's understanding is nearly limitless.
So please bear with us once
again. We are still the biggest and still the first to
do what we are doing on the scale we are doing it. I'm
working on it.
Thanks,
Chris
