Hey Guys,
A friend of mine runs a forum and he says *Sticky Topics* take up a whole bunch of bandwidth.
I noticed you have several (in multiple places) that are old and outdated, and we could easily do without them.
Just a thought...you don't have to delete the thread, just 'unstick it'.
Thanks for being here. It's much appreciated.

Thanks for the tip, love. :D
When we move to the new server we will have five times the bandwidth, but we still like to be able to economise..., don't we?

The return is that I allow them to link to the source of my graphics. The reason I do this, is that 1. it is difficult to catalogue and control all the varying graphics, and 2. I can monitor if the graphics are available. If the graphics becomes "unavailable" I can investigate the dead link to determine if the site no longer exists and remove the link, or if the url has changed. Because I have stated the T&C of a reciprocal link it is up to the requester to determine if it is worth asking. However I doubt if most refer to the T&C.

I can understand that. But what about the people that might have only dial up(ug) there is still some. The pictures take a long time to download.

Hope that helps.
