Smythe appeared in the thread to post a very special video:

 
yeah no way is SA using 14TB/mo. It's a fairly active community but let's be honest there aren't that many users. If true though it does sound fishy, maybe there is something else going on?

counterpoint - the users that are there are basically online 24/7 F5ing the diy hormone thread so maybe it is true.

I'll fucking laugh if Radium has been running a bitcoin miner through the forums all this time and is now richer than Jeffrey.
 
Not possible given the site is 99.9% text these days and has a few thousand active users at most.

But makes sense if someone's trying to sell the site, and is renting bots to inflate traffic to increase the sale price.
Except that the person buying the site is an administrator and a long time user. Jeff is flushing money down the toilet on it as an ego project, not to make it profit viable. All Lowtax needs to do is make up excuses why he shouldn't sell it over a period of months to slowly drive up the price. Jeff doesn't have the spine to put his foot down as long as Lowtax doesn't demand some absurd, to a power hungry mega jannie with more money than brains or friends like Jeff, sum for the sale.

Or if someone with access to the site’s code is inflating the traffic to make the site’s bandwidth expenses skyrocket, to force its owner to get a move on with selling it.
