Because we want the site to be index of course - but our statistics cuts out all robots and spiders so we deliver the truth to advertisers
Good point! Oooh and honest company... how nice!!
I am a non tech member of the Admin team. I'll give a bit away on the secrets of how much we use. But my jargon is non existant. So be prepared for a load of uneducated bull ;)
We use a lot of bandwidth. So much you'd be hard pressed to get it all in the void between my ears....
and thats a BIG void ;)

Nope :) We just optimize graphics and other parts of the site - the b/w is not always the issue you have to balance disk I/O and things like that - meaning clearly users increase and decrease at different times.
Maybe because im a sad sad nerd, but i find this interesting haha.
over 6 GB excluding the forums... am i wrong to expect the forums probably take up
much much more.
Any idea how the google bot knows if the page has changed? is there some kind of time stamp in vbulletin which it reads or does it analyse it and compare?
Seeing as when you change your signature it is reflected in all posts, assuming it uses some date stamp, does this stamp get changed or is it not affected by sig changes?
I wonder what the data transfer amounts would be between a vbulletin forum and a phpbb if it were exactly the same. If vbulletin is more efficient when does this efficiency make it worth paying for vbulletin.
If you're really interested have a look here -> http://forum.time2dine.co.nz/showthread.php?t=98
i see, have some of he optimisations been implemented for hexus?
cheers for the link
