Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

You will never trigger it by going to any number of pages via the site buttons. What triggers it, and increases the visitor count, is loading the main page over and over again. One thing that will get you triggered is going to a large number of bookmarked links. This causes the frames to reload counting you as another visitor, simply clicking the links provided does not do this. Given that you can get to just about any page within three clicks of the mouse I don't think this is too onerous a task.
What was it you where doing at the time, and what sort of timescales where involved.
I was looking through the episode guide trying to find Stardates for the end of the Dominion War to use in the Aftermath Thread. It was pretty fast and I wasn't just clicking links but having it open in a new tab in Firefox. I never went back to the main page, what finally gave me the maessage was trying to get to the Sao Paulo page, it came up with a black screen saying something like it appears you are attempting to download this site, please don't since this costs us bandwith.
I am Using Firefox 2.0.0.14, I also have Fasterfox (2.0.0) enabled, set to Optimized with Prefetching turned off.

The issue is with you opening pages in a new tab. Every time you do that you are counted as a new visitor, after 5 pages within an hour you are cut off from the page you ask for, as you saw. I will relax the threshold a little and shorten the time that the system resets after. OK, that's done, it's now 10 pages in 10 mins.
Thanks

Actually, one time or another I may have run into such a blocking anyway because I just love to CTRL-click links. Especially when I discover a new site I want to explore it as fast as possible.
At EAS I'm having no major problem with download tools yet. In my terms of service I explicitly allow them but reserve the right to throttle them or to lock them out if they cause too much traffic.

we were getting very close to our bandwidth limits for the month so something had to be done
Well it seems mentioning the forum on the main site works well. We've picked up 3 or 4 members in the last few days.
What does defeat mean to you?

What kind of base were YOU on?
