October 2003 Updates

10.30.03 - Bandwidth and blah...

I'm expecting the site to be shut down sometime tomorrow because of bandwidth. Right now at 8:07 p.m. central time the bandwidth is at 44381.32 Megabytes (translation, 44.4 GB). The site may or may not go offline tomorrow. Since tomorrow is Halloween, I'm hoping people will go out and get sick on candy. Oh well. I'm working on a nice update. It won't be online for probably a week or so, but I'm not saying what it is.

I was looking at my stats page, and here's the break down for Unique visitors and page views for the past three months:

August: Unique visitors [6,950], Page views [258,172]
September: Unique visitors [10,148], Page views [482,349]
October: Unique visitors [14,011], Page views [594,273]

As you can tell, visitors have more than doubled since August. There's one explanation for this, Adult Swim's fucking run of Inuyasha episodes! That's when they aired. The average for bandwidth for the past eight months was 30 GB. For the past two months (September and October) it's been over 40 GB.

Now, I'm still getting emails from people asking for sections back. Do people who use the internet know how to read?!? If it says offline until Nov 1, Due to bandwidth problems, this section will be offline until November., what do you think that means? Use some common sense people! On another matter, I hate sTiCkY cApS!!!

Besides, there's more to this site than Inuyasha. [argh!]

Pardon my rant, but I needed to get it out.

Oh well, I'm off to deal with some pumpkins. Have a Happy Halloween!


10.25.03 - Here's an early Halloween treat for you...

No, the sections that I took down aren't back up. But I did make a few screencaps from the Cowboy Bebop movie, Knockin on Heaven's Door. I figured it would be good since the movie does take place during Halloween.

I decided it would be better to only make a few because capping a whole movie and uploading it would only add to the bandwidth problem. So, here's nine screencaps for you. I believe I put them in the correct order, if not it doesn't really matter. I highly suggest watching this movie, it's great! You can usually find it in most video stores for around $20. Oh well, here ya go!

10.24.03 - Bandwidth is down, but nothing's coming back until November

Well, it looks like all those cuts I made are doing the trick. I believe we may finish the month without the site being shut down. It's still gonna cut it close though, and it still might go down on the last day. But, if I hadn't made those cuts, I'm sure it would shut down by the end of this weekend.

If I see the bandwidth rising again this weekend, you can be sure that I'll cut some more sections. I'm just warning you guys now, so no complaining.

Oh yeah, Inuyasha will be returning to Adult Swim on November 10. I'm dreading the mass amount of kids to return and kill my website, but oh well. ^_^


10.22.03 - Inuyasha Second Movie Screencaps Offline, amongst other sections

Just as the title says, Inuyasha's second movie screencaps are offline. They will remain offline until next month due to bandwidth again. If you really want to see a section, I suggest visiting at the beginning of the month.

Like last month, bandwidth is pretty bad. Actually, I think it's worse this month. So far the site has used around 35 Gb. The limit is 45 Gb, so you can see why I'm doing all these cuts. If you really need a better explanation, read September's updates and you'll see why.

Hopefully this'll be the last section I'll cut for the month.

Edit - I also took down the anime sections for Inuyasha, Inuyasha and Kagome, and Groups. Come back on November 1 to see them. :)


10.21.03 - Inuyasha Episode section offline until November

The Inuyasha Episode Images section will be offline until next month due to bandwidth again. Until the bandwidth (and visitors) stops being crazy, you can expect more of this. And don't give me crap about my updating scans and screencaps. I take down the sections that are the most popular, and therefore the bandwidth hogs. Besides, I prefer the manga over the anime anyways. That's all for today, I think. Later!



10.18.03 - New artbook scans

I finally updated the Inuyasha Artbook scans page in the Inyasha section. There used to be only 10 scans, which weren't all that great in quality. Now, there's 49 new scans. I only scanned manga images from the book. They're quite large in size, all images have a 100 dpi resolution and average around 500kb in size. I didn't have much luck in getting the file sizes smaller, so sorry.

I will get around to scanning some of the anime images later on, but after several hours of working on these I feel I need a break from scanning.

Bandwidth and visitors is to an all time high. Yesterday was the highest, it hit 1,600. Oh well, if the site goes past it's bandwidth later this month, it will just go over. Blah! Oh well, enjoy the scans!


10.17.03 - Inuyasha Haitus and other things...

Just a quick note that Inuyasha is going back on haitus on Monday. Adult Swim is not cancelling it, so don't contact me about it (believe me, people have in the past). I don't know why people think I would know.

I'm kinda happy about it, then maybe the site's traffic will go down. I know the reason why site traffic has been so high is because of IY's AS run. Sometimes I feel like telling people to quit linking me. I'm not used to having over 1,000 people coming here everyday and 2 GB of bandwidth used everyday on the weekends, or the site using over 40 GB of transfer last month!

Another note, please people! Don't post links to my site on Adult Swim's forums! I've been seeing them in my referrer stats, and it's not helping things!

Sorry for IY's first movie not being up. I was downsizing it and was going to upload it again, when I decided to redo the caps. The wait will be worthwhile, they look so much better!

I'm also planning on making some more screencaps for Cardcaptor Sakura, and I'm thinking (more like planning) on screencapping Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door. That won't be for a while though, but I will do it eventually. :)

That's all for now, later!


10.12.03 - Fanart

Updated the fanart section again. I happy the section is doing so well, so far we have 11 artist's work up. ;)

If you want yours up, click here for details.


10.6.03 - Cardcaptor Sakura Screencaps

I added a screencaps category to the Cardcaptor Sakura section. I added 274 screencaps for the first episode and 41 images for the first intro. These are pretty good quality because they are from DVD's, they're also kinda large. Enjoy them!

Now I'm gonna go and work on some more scans, and I'm gonna start working on some more caps. :)


10.3.03 - Fanart Updated

Yep, I finally updated the fanart section. Three new fanarts. Sorry it took so long, but I've been busy.

Some good news, I finally got a new computer! It has a DVD drive so that means more screencaps. And good quality ones now! I'm slowly updating the Tenchi Muyo section, I'm almost done. There should be around 140 new pics once I'm finished.

I'm going to say this now, DO NOT pester me wanting this or that section back up. I have a life out side of this website, not including a different site that I need to work on. They will be back up when I'm ready to put them back up.

I swear, Inuyasha fans are some of the most impatient people on the planet.
