We get 8000 visitors a day. The more we get, the more difficult it is to keep the bandwidth open.
We already have 2 sites (mirrored) to spread the load and every gig is an ultimate cost to us. We're just two guys with lots of great people contributing their time freely, but we can't run on air. So think how things would be if this site suddenly disappeared.
