Bandwidth Exceeded?

Subject: Bandwidth Exceeded? Wed Jul 28, 2010 3:49 pm

So, I just logged on to FLOL and I noticed that the banner above, plus the bar with 'profile' and such all have a photobucket pic saying the bandwidth is exceeded, and therefore, the pictures cannot be shown any longer.

Is it just me, or are others having this problem as well?

You're not alone, I see it as well. Lady O will work on it when she's online.

Houston, we have a problem. I always thought this site has its own host?

This forum is hosted for free by Forum Motion. We do not pay for server space (and FM uses phpBB, which is open-source forum software), so we aren't able to store our own photos for the website. When spoilers hit, we tend to get lots of traffic, because we're usually the first ones to have them translated. The more people visiting and especially refreshing more for updates makes our bandwidth shoot up. With a spoiler like today's, it's no surprise that we're having this problem.
