Uh... dunno why people can't read.
EZ is still up and running, and as lively as before.
If you cannot see it anymore, see the post that talks about ADVANCEMENT
About that... by contribution we mean that you participate in the forums so that next time I see your name I actually recognize it.
Then somebody has taken notice of you and your behaviour and checks your posting habits, like, are you a cool guy/gal and that you've really posted replies or maybe even your own threads. (This is because some people were just posting almost empty posts into testing board to increase the postcount).
Most likely, a nice mod/admin will see that 'Oh, this guy/gal is a really cool guy (although I disagree with him in the POLITICS forum) so lemme just push this nice little button here...'.
and *pof*, you suddenly see the EZ again.
Was I clear enough?
(PS. I took the short route. I take care of the servers on the OS side, in the same way I used to handle a few server farms. Very professionally. I made myself useful from the first minute. I contributed. I can see the EZ. See a pattern emerging here?)

Now about the money. Yes, the bandwith is expensive in the US. I personally think it's robbery to ask money from VOLUME. When I was in the ISP business, we charged 300€/month. That got you 4U's of space, 100FD uplink, your own /29, ups power and air conditioning. We bloody didn't care if somebody was using 100/100 24/7/365. It was their business and they paid for it. (Nowdays the price is 150€/month and the link is 10/10.)
Then the server had to go back to U.S and the bandwith is now charged by Volume. Ridicilous, robbery and bad business practices. We here in the old continent stopped charging for volume back in '96.[/rant]
