    Thanks for the donation, but no... sorry. Signature isn't for rent. :)

    You are off the hook then I guess. :)

    One question, the auto check keywords in the tracker.

    It says you gotta login each week, ok I'm cool with that. But what if I go on vacation for a couple of weeks? Do I gotta annoy my wife by visiting a cyber café?

    Yeah... it will check for up to 7 days since your last login. The reason it does that is in case an account is abandoned (like someone never logs in again), it doesn't end up using resources indefinitely looking up keywords each day. Log into it from your cell phone on the 7th day, and then you are good for another 7. ;)

    I have a quick question. If dp is getting taken down by the digg effect, how large are there servers? If a huge arse dp server can't handle it, imagine how large digg's servers are. Does anybody know how many uniques digg gets?

    Well, there's a lot of backend stuff going on within digitalpoint.com...

    From the donation page:

    So that's just "average". The servers would have been find if they weren't already so overloaded to begin with.

    Now is a good time to make policy on name changes! Only allow name changes when servers donations are accepted and the member makes a $50.00 donation!!!!

    Diggs are now up to 30, so another front page is a possible. If it gets there I wonder if any diggers will donate :).

    Each blade is a computer... 10 blades/computers, each with 12GB RAM. Each blade has 6 DIMM slots, so it's all on 2GB DIMMs.

    I felt really bad for not donating last time, so perhaps there's a couple of payments in this one.
