Old Dog Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 Really sorry to hear this, but I have no doubt about the traffic "bandwidth" problem. During the 3 days I temporarily hosted Bergman's new Sherman Plainpack mod, I got (est. merely from hits over the weekend vs. normal traffic) probably 500-600 downloads at about 7 meg each hit for both parts for the mod. That's maybe 2 gig/day last Sat and Sun. Didn't hear a peep from Homestead though... go figure. - Old Dog Old Dog's CM Central Bracket repair edit... again [This message has been edited by Old Dog (edited 02-27-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissar Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 Manx, what if you set up a seperate "banner section"? Then, people who download from your site or otherwise vist regularly could click on a bunch of banners a few times in a row and make you money. Im not much of a web enterpeneur, so Im not sure how much those banners will get you. However, with the large commmunity, if everyone who visits (most people) click on, say, 10 banners, and you get 10c per click, that's $1 per person. How many of us are mod sluts? Everyone. Thats a lot of money. Then again, I may just be misinformed. You could give it a try. ------------------ "...Every position, every meter of Soviet soil must be defended to the last drop of blood..." - Segment from Order 227 "Not a step back" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 Why not just move the non-scenario files to a free server? Keep the main page of the site and the scenarios at the site it is now, move everything else to a site created through www.freeservers.com - you can host bmp files there. They won't let you host zip files or cmb/cmb files though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Lucke Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 What is this --- some kind of a conspiracy? The ASL coversion site, CMHQ, and now this?

Manx_CM Posted March 1, 2001 Author Share Posted March 1, 2001 Thanks guys...this is the first time i have had chance to access the board today. Also, i am unable to access any e-mail sent via the COMBAT MISSIONS e-mail addresses (they have been suspended as well). One more thing...It ain't dead yet!...it's currently undergoing a life-saving operation...it's touch & go whether the old girl will make it, but she might just pull through! ps - Madmatt, Kwazy - is there anyway to reset my old username?. Somehow the p/w has got screw-up. [This message has been edited by Manx_CM (edited 02-28-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinCheng+ Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 Thanks Manx, you still give us hope. That's why I say "for now" even though I have no insider info on what you are up to.

Hussar Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 Its still there for me (1 Mar about 0200Z). I have been frantically downloading all the mods "I meant to get someday", so I guess I have added to Manx worries. A top site, very sorry if it has to go, but grateful for all the effort...
