Bandwidth Exceeded
18 December 2024
An unusual combination of issues has resulted in Photo Corners exceeding its bandwidth as of Dec. 17 this month. That means you likely won't be able to see this status report until next year.
Since Dec. 7 we have been battered repeatedly by a Facebook bot. The server with our usual reporting tool for this sort of thing was, unfortunately, taken off line in July, we've just learned.
So our only notice of the problem was Sonic's warning it was blocking us for exceeding our quota (which is generally one-third of what we need).
We're still able to post, so we'll continue to do so. But without the funds to pay for additional bandwidth through the end of the month, you won't be able to see what's going on (apart from the RSS feed).
Apologies.
Update (19 Dec.): Sonic has generously offered to "credit you for any overage fees for this month if you turn off the overage protection." We'll do that as soon as we can confirm Facebook's bot is honoring our robots.txt block.
