You would have to ask Rob, but I do know that advertising for this site " mod @ JUiCEDUK.com" burns huge amounts of bandwidth.

All of the pointless stuff wastes bandwidth when it has to be sent to the various surfers at any given time and of course poll threads carry an extra bit of data along so they take a little more and if it's pointless then it ends up getting about 40 posts telling the author what a dumbass they are thus taking more bandwidth each time it's loaded, but once it's loaded it's not taking anymore bandwidth. The things that take bandwidth are the gif's and things in sig's that drag everything down, especially when a post whore has one in their sig and they have 30 posts on one page.

By not making this a poll you probably lost the respect of every post whore on this site
