If its not nice to have some respect for Freeola and not advertise competitors then guilty as charged. And its hardly my fault PM is unusable when viewing older topics. Try waiting until offpeak times to view it.

I've tried it in FF, Opera and IE and it's still not loading. =(
You might be polite but you're certainly not nice, making me go there and spend half an hour just trying to load one page. This is like torture, you meanie ;P heh.
Ah nevermind, I quit. I'll just stick with DF. =( I already invested over £200 in them. Just annoying they cant even handle the odd spike in traffic. *sigh*
Thanks anyway Garin =)

I don't suppose you know any other hosts I can try (or atleast contact so I can see what their attitude is towards social bookmarking?) Pretty please Garin? And I know you'll recommend Freeola like a good boy but sadly they dont offer what I need. =(
I'll leave a secret message.

That's true I would, but it would be severals weeks or over a month until I saw any profit.
For a new site to achieve 100,000 visitors a day, it would have to be very good, spend a lot on advertising and social bookmarking sites would give it a bigger boost in a short time compared to directories and search engines. =)
I don't expect social bookmarking to be a daily or even weekly thing. But it'll play an important part in the launch of my site =)
So yeah what you two are saying is very true, but I'm hoping that this will pay off and in the end I was right to launch big and not start off slow and small. =) Infact you're more than welcome to say "I told you so" should I fail ^^.
