The point I was making was, I don't think the traffic levels are a problem at any other time than game-day when everyone is constantly refreshing the gamethread/gameday thread/threads after the game. Paying for all that increased bandwidth and hosting for a 5 hour period out of 48 doesn't seem like a realistic option to me, maybe I'm wrong, and if I am, I'll shut my mouth.
Again, just my $.02 as a new poster here.

There's been some other times where the traffic has had a significant impact. If it was
only game threads I might be inclined to agree, but this week trade deadline is another perfect example. I'll know the Flames picked up Jokinen from Florida not because I read it here, but because I won't be able to get in to even see what the server load is let alone read the thread :/ Given a choice, personally I want as pain free a experince as possible for users.
Plus if we go deep in the playoffs it'll be even more. PLUS if the main site doesn't have a forum, they're ALL going to come here.
*shudder*
