Yes but I beleive most web host providers allow for up to 3000mb of transfer. Usually after that its usuallt under $10 per 1000mb. With some estimateing and some math the pictures are pulling just under 2000mb per month. So thats under $20 per month (probaly $10). Now for a paid service that many members are paying to use, I can't understand why they wont buy the extra bandwith. Well the sitte is down so I can't get any more figures, but I don't see where the problem would be. It would also see to me that someone would be willing to advertise on here and pay for it. This could easily pay for itself. I dont see why anyone would mine a small text advertisement at the bottom of each messege either. But I guess I have no place to stand as I am not a member to GGA either. But then again Why should I pay to join when I tend to get snobby attitude in my replys I get. Forgive me if my leopard geckos are not good enough to be anything other then die hard gecko keeper with more the 7 speices and a degree in herptology. I do seem pretty well respected atleast on the forum boards. I just figured since I was so knoldgable about leos' this would be a great place for some more advanced topics then what are generlaly brought up be other people then me on the foum boards. Well that is just my two cents worth. I think their needs to be some changes made tough to the list-serv.
