Brrr! Me had nearly three inches of snow, and the country ground to a halt.

We're getting about 10gb of stuff per day.
We filled up another server with old newsthumbs, so I've brought a new one into action. And I've eliminated the need for a separate server for the newsthumbs web access. You'll still access it at the same vnews.thevalkyrie.com but now that leads to the same server as the rest of the site. I can do this because I've put in a much faster server.
Nothing new.
Stage 2 of the big upgrade went well, and now the sites are running on faster servers. Next will be stage three, where I replace another ten servers with these new, much faster, servers.
The comments on the spams are mine, of course. These are actual spams sent to me, which just strike me as funny. I don't include their contact details - go find your own spammers!
By the way, if you're using StoneColdMail (which is free to web site members) then you won't see most of these spams, they'll be delivered into your "Spam" folder.
I now get about 2000 spams per day. My despammer works quite well, only a
couple of dozen get through, and it's very rare that a real email gets into
my spam folder. But I've divided the spam folder into two, one spammier than
the other. The spammier folder, is for spam that meets all the criteria for
spam, and also isn't addressed to me. That helps a lot, because I do look through both
spam folders, but I pay less attention to the spammier one.
Can i have 10 min of your time?
No.
Most of the sponsorships now are by giving women server space and bandwidth, so they can operate their web sites without having to pay these fees. There's also photoshoots, which gets some revenue into their hands, as well as the traditional direct-funding sponsorship.

| A vigorous debate about religion is pushing the statistics along. | HomoAncient and Terry are the leaders; HA and Terry are going hammer and tongs on the religion board, plus some of the abuse board. |
Mavis is counting the number of times the message list is checked for each board. This gives a very different picture from the one above.

I checked the site statistics that Sandra counts up each night.
At the end of February 2007, there were about 952,000 pictures (80 gigabytes), 234 gigabytes of video, 11,100 text files (mostly stories) and a total of about 315 gigabytes. There's about 230 million pictures altogether in Newsthumbs, increasing at about 5 million per month.
