Since I'm Computer Illiterate.....

Dallas · 03-25-2005, 09:50 AM

will some please explain to me what "exceed bandwith" means. Thanks.

gunssb · 03-25-2005, 10:25 AM

Most service providers/site hosts have a fixed limit on the number of bytes that can be transferred (either daily or monthly). It means that we had too many gun hos reading or posting

There are providers that offer unlimited bandwidth at a higher cost.

Glad to see G&G's back! Joe had mentioned elsewhere he saw something about the forum site moving servers . . . . ?

Oxford · 03-26-2005, 05:30 PM

It couldn't have been my posts bogging the bandwidth down so I'm blaming NRAJOE, too.

Or maybe it was one of Logansdad's miltipage posts. :nod:

Bloggers are people who start or frequent 'Blogs', or web logs - just another type of BBS. People post their thoughts on what ever subjects the blog is made for. These days, Blogs have become surrogate news sites, and the common folks can post about things that are happening.

gunssb · 03-26-2005, 06:28 PM

And some companies are using internal blogs so that employees can share information.

Despoiler · 03-27-2005, 01:57 AM

WW,

A blog is a web site, any thing with www.something.com is a web site.

A blog is simply a web site where someone, writes his/her thoughts, opinions or news. A blog is like a diary where you post your thought on the web for the everyone to see. Some blogs have a political leaning, like http://www.hughhewitt.com/. This one is about dreams http://fearnoweevil.blogspot.com/. This one is like a diary http://cutsie.net/blog/index.php.

Here is a list of blogs http://www.globeofblogs.com/.

Big Dog · 03-27-2005, 04:55 AM

Yep, and remember, it was some Bloggers who blew open the whole Dan Blather/Bush Papers thing. Left up to the main media, it would have gone unreported! Blogs are a new force on the net! :cheer:
