Would ours be considered large? I really don't know.. I know it's large for music industry boards.. but tiny compared to some gigantic message boards out there..

Seems fairly large to me -- and numbers like this are very good anyway, so I wouldn't sweat it right now. But if you grow further, I'd definitely look into zlib compression to save bandwidth...

Generated in 0.072 seconds in which 0.006 seconds were spent on a total of 9 queries. Zlib compression unavailable.

It is fairly decently sized; myself I like having the optoion to have it or not, not having it is definately not industry standard on any server...

ZLib will serve content to users faster, this means that people on slower connections will recieve content much faster, which in itself may make you more poplar (think of it, a 33.6k internet connection operating like a standard cable line on your site).

Gizmo,

I see you're in Portland, OR. Any chance you know Ryan O'Neil over at CD Baby/Hostbaby? We are hosted by them. Is it something in their settings that keeps us from having that feature?

Brian

Is that a no? = )

I've never heard of them myself... lemme go look them up...

It looks like they're about 10 miles away from me... I wonder where their servers are... brb

Hmm, seems theres a datacenter in vancouver, I didn't know that...

Interesting, turns out that the people they're leasing their bandwitdh from is the same people who provide the telecommunications for my mom's office in Vancouver at her mortgage company lol... Integra Telecom

Ryan's a great guy. You folks should know him!
