Rick Archer's Note: The
SSQQ Picture Joke
Page was removed from the Internet back in
August 2010. It is now June 2011. After a year's absence, I
have decided to restore this popular former feature of the SSQQ web
site.
So what's the story?
About this time last year, I was experiencing "bandwidth problems".
This was a new phenomenon. In ten years with this website hosting
company, this had never happened before. However, this headache
wasn't going away. I had been fighting it for six months.
Here's a quick glance at the problem:
Thank you for your
payment.
This is a notice to inform
you that ssqq.com has used 172.89 GB of bandwidth for the

bandwidth. You will be charged an additional
$4 per GB over your allowed bandwidth, bringing a
total of $92.00 added to your monthly total.
Here is your receipt as
requested for ssqq.com.

What had happened was
that my website had become 'too popular'. I was being charged
extra because too many people were visiting my website. I could
afford $37 a month for a website that I maintain for the fun of it, but
these overcharges really hurt.
At the
time, my only solution was to reduce the "interest" in my website, so I
began by removing my Joke Pictures.
Since then I moved my
website to a different platform. That solved the problem.
So, everybody, let's welcome back the SSQQ Picture Joke Page. One
more thing: This website is a community effort.
If lots of people send
lots of neat stuff to me, I turn around and share it with everybody.
So, here is my question: Do
You Have a Great Picture Joke? If
so, send it to Rick Archer:
