Wow...why so many listeners?

Someone just emailed & said they weren't able to listen. I checked & saw all slots are full. I pay for 40 simultaneous connections: 20 at 40kbps, and 20 at 24kpbs. All are currently in use. Normally I have 20-30 people listening concurrently. Today I've hit 40 and people are apparently getting turned away.

What happened -- is this a post-Clifftop thing? Was someone talking up SITG down there?

I'd love to add more connections, but it costs me $$$ -- maybe I'll put up a tip jar or something.

Any thoughts/suggestions/explanations would be appreciated.

thanks!

John

It's because someone linked this site to BoingBoing which is a very popular "links of the internet" blog!

Aha! That explains it. I've been BoingBoinged.

I consider that a badge of honor. I've been reading BoingBoing since it was just an ink-on-paper cyberpunk 'zine.

Thanks for letting me know where all these hits are coming from!

Hi. Please do put up a PayPal tip jar. I'll certainly put $10 in now and then.

OK! I have added a PayPal "Donate" link to the main page.

We're back to 40/40 concurrent listeners. I'm going to try to add some more slots on the 40k channel.

Thanks.
