Yes, Kotaku is one of the most popular gaming news sites out there.

I've been doing lines since 10 AM. I find that I'm much better at Ikaruga when I'm coked up.

That site is a PR8, you just gained some serious spillover linkage Syd.

Holy zen, nice boost! I'm getting a kick out of all the comments noticing the slowness brought on by the traffic.

Ah, another website bricked by Kotaku. Well, not bricked, but it's slower than hell right now. What is that, four - myabe five sites down so far? Keep up on that pace.

Great job Kotaku, I think you broke the poor guy's website.

Nobody made you click the link, douche-chugger.
Also, it says in the plug, "Thanks GPF". I take it that means good ol' GPFontaine submitted it? If so, kudos.

My bandwith usage is fine.

I did 162 GB worth of traffic yesterday. If I did that much traffic everyday, I still wouldn't come close to my monthly GB limit.

Efficient bandwidth is different though.

If you upload a few files then you will see massive slow downs.

If all of the files are really small but there are tons of them then they will offload in turn and will go very fast.

This is as the Client would see it.

Yes, I know, we were talking about that yesterday.

My point is that come month's end, Dreamhost isn't going to be hitting me with astronomical bandwith overage fees.

Comic Sans FTW, that guy should be shot. That font was/is half the reason I read this site.

Some people that posted comments on that site need to get jacked in the face just for living.

Seriously, that garbage gives youtube comments a run for their money. It's like FARK for the retarded preteen set.
