it could also be because they dont have the best of servers, and it hosts messenger-blog, stuffplug and w2m, and w2m has to create the .xml files for statuses etc.

it messes my sig up
RE: high traffic by lordy on 03-20-2006 at 06:36 AM
they need a new server, that can handle the load that w2m creates, but TB doesnt want to pay extra money for it, which tbh wil have to happen if he wants a new server

Probably not. I forgot the fact that there is XML outputs, meaning signatures all over the net could be getting viewed at the same time.

W2M is just very popular and the servers are really busy. As far as I know they don't earn (much) mony for it, so no money to buy better servers
