David Seikel’s debate history website was so frequently visited that it was overwhelmed even on Christmas weekend. Here is his forward about what happened. I plan to work with him to create a site suitable for his massive content and all the traffic. Stay tuned for news!

Debatosaur fossil find foments ferocious frenzy of fantastic frequent file forwarding . . .

Wow!!!

I had no idea so many people would be interested in my project or that it would be so exuberantly received.

Numerous old friends and new acquaintances have graciously sent me back-channel thank-yous.

Since I posted "Debatosaur Fossils Found" on 23 December 2006, I received over 500 hits on my website and used over 4.5 G of my 5 G data transfer limit.

And all this happened on Christmas weekend!

Unfortunately, as a consequence of this wholly unexpected level of enthusiasm,  I had to remove all of the content and delete all of the website segments except for NDTAudio.  I put a message on that page stating that the 1957, 1961, and 1969 recordings are now at the NDT website.

It appears that I will not have the luxury of "crawling" up the website creation and management learning curve.  The herd of cloned Verbal Velociraptors that I mentioned at the end of "Debatosaur Fossils Found" is after me! LOL

I'm going to scramble, learn to use a website creation package (probably either RapidWeaver or SandVox), and locate a reliable webhosting company for a reasonably priced plan with a high transfer limit.

Even with a high limit, I will probably need to impose a data transfer "throttle" to keep my out-of-pocket costs under control.  If so, when I activate my new website, I will explain the details in an update here on eDebate.

My goal is to have my new website on-line in early January 2007.

Thanks for your support and patience.
