2 mails just got bounced back - don't exist..... seems some people register with dummy email addresses. Rather annoying... They can't win ticket though can they, haha. So 2 other people just got lucky. Please remember if you registered using an invalid email address, there's no point in entering our giveaways!

Basically you pay hosting companies for bandwidth and many people usually have a per-month allowance. We have a dedicated server for SJ, and it tears through over 10GB a day at the moment. (It's interesting to see how it changes day by day actually, with different promotions we do and the like).

Bandwidth can cost a lot guzzlers-baps. It all depends of course on how much is being used. When a site gets popular and lots of people use it, bandwidth numbers get bigger and bigger all the time. If a site has lots of photos, images and vids and the like that really mounts up. For example, since we introduced our SJ Photos section our bandwidth usage has increased significantly (and so our bandwidth costs have increased as well).

Hi there That is a little confusing. Basically the Yokoteyama part of Shiga Kogen is skiers-only. Behind Yokoteyama is an area called Shibutoge - and the only way to get to Shibutoge (until late spring) is via Yokoteyama... because of all of the snow that blocks the road off up there. Shibutoge allows snowboarders. So what I think they are meaning is that if you want to snowboard at Shibutoge when that road is blocked off, you'll have to carry your board up there. Not many people do that, which is why you will see Shibutoge saying they get 99% skiers. When spring

sunrise - the same post went up 4 times during the day, and as well as posting on here we did email him twice (without a response) --- there is not much more we can do if we want to avoid, er, flooding We're sure he'll be back fairly soon!

Not sure ug - we were just wondering that too.... (It has been deleted now, but for those of you wondering what is happening, rahul posted exactly the same thing for the 4th time just a few moments ago) We've given rahul a cooling off period!

rahul. We already deleted your repeated post once this morning, and now you posted exactly the same thing once again (for a third time - it was above this post, but has now also been deleted!) Please refrain from posting the same things more than once on the forums. If we delete any post, it is for a reason..... so reposting what was deleted will annoy us and we might lock your account. If you have any questions, please mail us directly rather than discussing this on the forums. Thank you

We are - still! been doing this for 2 months or so now - going through our database of resorts and updating it all and getting rid of things that are out of date. (We decided to do a proper job of it rather than rush and cut corners - currently about 300 of the main resorts data is totally up-to-date for this season) Anyway back to the point! We have at one time had over 600 resorts in our database, but that number is on it's way down as places close and quietly shut down (and get deleted). The number is probably between 500-600, but of course many of those being the really tiny plac
