500 Members

Today we hit 500 actual members. We have been hovering around this number for a while but we kept dropping back below after I deleted the spammers.

Today I deleted about 25 spam members and afterwards we ended up with 500 real people.

It was June 14, 2004; two and a half years ago, that we had just 100. We are averaging one real new member every two days, and 10.25 posts/day since Nov 23, 2003.

Your actual number is 1109 so that means that I have had to delete 600 spam accounts so far.

The server is a 1.4 GHz PPC with 80 GB of space.
The skoolie.net website currently uses up only 2.7 GB of space.
We average about 7.8 GB/month of trafic.

Skoolie.net got this new server about one year ago:

http://www.skoolie.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1029

Then the servers were migrated:

Here is a current pick of the room skoolie.net resides in:

Rack mounted computers actually mnounted in racks, eh? I've never seen such a thing! So if we're running off a T-1, who are we sharing with? Is there a big out of pocket expense you have to swallow to keep skoolie.net up and running? I'd happily donate to keep things up and running, especially in our current advertisement-free format.
