Graphics hosted on FPOTM WILL use bandwidth up- graphics hosted elsewhere won't... Most team logo's are hosted on FPOTM- so perhaps a solution would be to host them elsewhere...
Perhaps we can limit # of posts per day- OR the clock can be disable all day for the last day of the month- to prevent testing on the last day!
There was an unusual amount of traffic today- everyone testing etc- you and Henrik competing for times...
I believe in the rules there is a rule that says something like... "If the server is down- the race continues when the server comes back up"... Therefore I guess we consider this a "Server-Down"... fortunately we KNOW when the Server will come back up!
Race will run at midnight EST (that is 6 hours later than normal)

Yeah I agree Wycco....
Some sort of regs have to be put put in place....
Maybe if the teams sign an agreement not to test during the month, they can test as much as they like TWO days before the end of the month.... LOL!!!!
But what about putting a count on the number of posts (per person) on FPOTM and giving them a weight (time) penalty in accordance with the number of posts they have made..... hehehehe....
Sorry.... but i do think some restrictions are in order...

Wycco,
Is the issue the number of hits the website gets or the number of posts people make while testing, or both of the above?

Wycco, Is the issue the number of hits the website gets or the number of posts people make while testing, or both of the above? Both! The more tests that occur, the more data to be resent every time someone refreshes the page. Everytime someone revists the page- it resends the information.

Indeed... I think this is the most unusual FPOTM! On another note... with the web site being down- I think its safe to say Henrik and TC got podium finnishes for LPOTM this month!
