For you BTers out there. Do any of you have any idea why Bonsai Talk seems to have such a serious band width problem that it puts the site down, at least my access to it, twice a week?
Too many pictures and posts about crappy twigs that aren't even fit for firewood hogging all the bandwidth I'd say.
Carl (AoB founder and editor) checks in at AoB from time to time, he is quite busy with the WHO, a new baby, and he got tenure at the university. He has always been at AoB when needed and his advice and guidance has been invaluable. Behr (AoB and KoB editor) had some computer issues but has been a major asset at KoB and AoB, his talents are many and greatly valued and appreciated. John (AoB editor) has been at AoB regularly, but not steadily, lately he has been deleted spam there like it had a bounty on it. I have no clue about Tony and Mark.... I have not seen anything from Carl Bergstrom for years, Tony fell off the Earth, Behr has been pretty silent. Havn't heard a peep from John Dixon lately nor much from Mark Rockwell.
Quality vs Quantity is an old debate that I think we all know too well.....I come to this site daily, like many others and sometimes in a 24 hour period a "new posts" search will come up nothing. I find that on a few other forums also. Bt is always busy. I find that a user search for the day at a couple other forums show that maybe 3 or 5 users were there for the entire day while I can see that when I get home from work there may be as many as 50 or 60 users looking at files at BT at that moment. It is a very active site and by far the most widely used forum on the net.

I can tell you two are just eating this up.

it's usually server resources that a forum spends first.
While BT is a fairly busy forum in bonsai terms, it's not in wide world of forums. If they are using over 50GB of bandwidth a month, then something is wrong.
Look, I don't know anymore about this issue than anyone else who has had a comment. However; I have been around this site a long time and I have never seen this kind of thing before. If it is a ploy, as some would suggest, just to get more money out of its members that's a sad state of affairs.
