Dear Forum Software,
<br />
Please stop deciding to inexplicably screw with the settings file in new and inventive ways, I really don't appreciate it.  How you decided to unescape characters to make them unsafe and therefore break the forum...you impress me with your ingenuity to break.  However, I don't really appreciate it.  Kiss kiss, love love, bye bye.
<br /><br />
Note to self: find more time in the day to be able to keep an eye on these things.  Busy-ness means such items take a back seat.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Another "bad webmistress, no cookie" was getting my site shut down for bandwidth overages last month.  Some site decided to hammer the fairies.  And by hammer, I mean quadruple the bandwidth usage in half the time.  Now I know lots of people want their sites to get more traffic, and work on ways to build it and get more people to pay attention- but me, I'd rather stay reasonably unnoticed, because all the traffic does is cause me headaches.  Either I let the site stay down till the next month, or I pay through the nose for bandwidth overages- right now the former is the more appealing, sorry.  Someday, if I ever actually implement a way for this thing to make money, I might even want the traffic- but as it is, no reason.  Truth be told, worries about going over my limit have made me drag my feet on adding new things to the site.
<br /><br />
For now, things have been shuffled to make things work without taking anything down- I hope.  This month may run out still, they didn't link to the page I thought they would have, and my stat tracking somehow was disabled so I didn't have the information to check- so 30% of my bandwidth has already been used up in a 6 day period (I told you when they hit, they hit <i>hard</i>- and my host even does allow a pretty decent amount of traffic).]]></description>
