Have you noticed the lack of posts?

Hey, I guess you’ve noticed that there’s been few photos posted during the last couple of days. There’s a reason. Mediatemple, the company that hosts this site, tracks the sites usage and translates that to GPUs. I can use 1000 monthly GPUs because of the hosting plan I have. Now, this is usually more than enough, but the GPU usage for the site exploded this week (right now the site’s used 841 GPUs and that’s just for half this month).
If I pass the 1000 GPUs, I pay $0.10 per additional GPU. Right now, that overage might be about $20, which isn’t much. But it’s not good to pay that amount of money every month 
even more when I want to put back some features that have been deleted from the site for a while (ratings, tags).
I know I always complain about hosting, but what can I do when I want to run the site with the lowest budget possible.
I think the reason for this issue is the feed. I’ve discovered that we are the second most popular feed at netvibes, which means the site has more than 10000 subscribers.
Anyway, just be patient with me, I’ll be working on the site these days, and if I get this GPU issue fixed, I have some cool new features I want to show you.
