Hi folks. During the past weeks OSM had massive server problems, cause a lot of Apps embedded our webmap. For that reason we had to block the most popular applications [1] cause they simply violate our tiles usage policy [2]. Now I did some visualisations/compare with the most current logs and it turns out that Viking is again under the Top 30 Apps. http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/!i!/diary/15190
You know our project is about creating a free worldmap (so collecting geoinformations) and not to deploy a full featured webmap directly for everyone as Google Maps does. All our server infrastructure is sponsored and administrated by just a few volunteers, so we have a lack of every kind of resources to act as a big service. So can you please use MapQuest or Cloudmade tiles instead and check again your tool against the policies?
