It's a free site run & hosted out of pocket by a single dude in his spare time with no financial interest or support, not even advertising (minus the ~$50/month in donations to help a bit with hosting I guess). The creator never anticipated it would become this popular or have to host the enormous amounts of data being constantly uploaded to it at all hours of the day & night.

I know all of that applies to Nostalrius itself too, and people don't like the whole "it's free and there's nothing better, so deal with it or make a better version yourself" argument, but it's free and there's nothing better, so deal with it or make a better version yourself.

You can say deal with it all you want but what is the point of a highscore service that randomly resets the highscores? It's not like the website gives you the ability to analyze your raidmembers, it's literally only for highscores. If the highscores aren't permanent what is the point of it? Who is going to be "trying hard" when eventually it will all be reset? And if the data was a problem with mc+bwl taking up all the data how is it going to be able to stay up when the insanely long instance of aq is out?

RealmPlayers data is around total 1GB.
RaidStats is around 200GB(and it increases around 25GB every month right now).

I knew it...
storage capacity issues.
