My hosting company disabled my website for more than 24 hours as my site was using the resources of almost an entire T1 line - primarily (as I was told) due to the message board traffic. My site has grown quite large and is very busy, and I am of course considering moving it to a dedicated server vs. shared, but I need to know a few things:
(1) Is there any way to script the UBB so that members can be required to pay a nominal access fee for use of the board before they actually got their logon and password via email?
And if I can't do that....
(2) Is there any way to turn off the graphics completely to reduce the serving of images and thereby greatly reduce bandwidth usage?
