GEOLINK Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I been here for quite some years and I always wondered what is the donations for? Do they use it to built the site more better? or do they use it to pay the rent? I need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEOLINK Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 why doesnt he delete the old files people don't Download anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhath Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 because people do download them. plus, the problem isnt with the number. the problem is that some mods are huge, and with 40,000 members.. it adds up... theres several 300 mb + mods say 40,000 x 300, thats a ton...

jhath Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 To be exact, it costs trues 278 a month to run mvpmods. He only asks for 150 from the members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 why doesnt he delete the old files people don't Download anymore? If no one downloads old files then there is no bandwidth cost for old files. just storage space, which is cheap and comes with the price of the server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
