GeoCities is Smoking Something
Dear GeoCities Member,
Your web site, http://www.geocities.com/st-leo seems to have been receiving a large amount of traffic. Our records indicate that you're using more than the allotted amount of data transfer we provide for a free web site, which is 3 gigabytes per month (measured on an hourly basis).
Right, the site that I haven't updated since 1998 is drawing in 3 gigabytes worth of traffic a month.  Anyways, feel free to check out my 1998 scenarios and laugh.

Since your site is so important, maybe a denial of service attack was launched against you.

Nope... they must be smoking cannabis or something very close to that stuff... or they are drunk "come un'ape piena di mosto".

I tried it. I uploaded a 10.7M avi clip to my page and it halted me for an hour. Then I downloaded it it halted me again. According to their calculation, you get 3giga per month on an hourly basis, which is 3,000mega divided by (30*24), which is12.g mega per hour.

Maybe the same programmers who coded the CIV II treasury routines are working for Geocities now.

And here is proof:
@CIVSITES
@title=GeoCities Rules: Civ Sites
These sites have too much traffic, Sire. If we allow
them to remain on our servers, they will work at
%NUMBER0/%NUMBER1 strength.
"Launch denial of service attack!"
"Then let them rest."
