So GIK, this search discussion has be confused...
What are we running out of? Network usage or CPU usage?
I would think a search is CPU (and IO) intensive. I would think it is not network intensive.

I see your point, Roy.
I believe network usage is our problem, but I will connect with our host for clarification.
Just thought about this and wondered...
When someone subscribes to a thread and gets an email telling them there has been a reply to the thread...does sending that email use bandwidth or is that just something built in that does its own little thing? (I have no idea what technical terms to use in case you can't tell):
I'm looking at the stats and this month has 100% more 404's than the next busy month (last July) meanwhile I note 6% of the sites usage is coming from an IT site in Australia.
The site itself is using as much as it did in June of 2004 but has been down way more (denial of service 16 K in June and 207 K now)

WOY, I did a little more research and it appears that we were using "whois" wrong, it only works if you put in the the domain name, not the IP address. Anyhow, I then did a google search looking for web pages with the IP address 133.9.238.74 in it. It showed up in the usages stats for hundreds of unrelated websites so I believe it must be some sort of BOT.
That IP address has consumed 6.08% of RZ's resources this month.
Perhaps specifically banning it would be a good idea.

Hi Bob, WOY and I were wrong about the Australia thing. Nugget's not the problem.Hey, I have no knowledge on all of this but...

There are six domains that have been hitting RZ this month that have been eating up 12.34% of the sites resources. I'm going to check the other months for them before I send them to you Gik.
The other five are hubs for providers in the tri state area, Ft Mitchell, 2 in Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus.
I'll help in any way needed, good luck guys
Go Gators!
Could Ft Mitchell be insightbb.com (Northern Ky cable co high speed)?
The Cincinnati ones possibly Fuse/Zoomtown and Roadrunner?
Likely. I don't think those are the problem though, as they probably service a large number of RZ's users.
Can we still post pictures here if we use our own hosting site and the IMG tags for the pictures and not the attachment thing?
After looking at the resource logs with WOY I have the following thoughts/observations.
1. RZ is consuming roughly 10% more resources per day than the previous highest month which was June 2004.
2. 6.08% of the resource usage come from the IP Address 133.9.238.74 which is coming from Japan. A google search indicated that this IP address shows up in the usage logs of hundreds of other web sites. I believe it it a BOT. This IP address should be banned.
3. In June 2004 there were 16,379 error code 404's which indicate the server is too busy or could not be found. This month there have been 206,965 404's already. This to me indicates that the server load is reaching it's limit. As RZ shares server with many other sites, it is possible that the incremental growth of other sites on server coupled with the growth in usage by RZ is causing server overload. When we reached our high point last June it is possible that it was not as noticiable due to underutilization by other sites hosted on same server.
4. The user logs do not provide information about usage of specific forums or threads so it is not possible to to see from the usage logs what areas within RZ are using the most bandwidth. I think it is safe to say the "last thread" does use a bit of bandwidth as the there have been 70,000 + posts made in 1-12. As the issue is bandwidth I suggest that the "last thread" community try to police itself and do its' best not overtax Redszone, lest we be asked to stop completely.
5. The average KB per site Hit last June was 2.908. This April it has been 3.73. I don't know if that has to do more with the widespread usage of Avatars or with posting attached pictures, but it is significant. I think that usage of Avatars and attached pictures should be suspended.
6. There is the possibility that the continued use of the attached image of Cbus' giant head may be a causing the site overload.
