Future directions?

SG is eating 100000 messages per day. The number is increasing, and it's getting a bloated child. Considering a mean of 10k per message, it's 1GB per day of trash being received by SG servers.
Isn't it becoming inviable? It's a bandwidth hog! Is there any plan to cope with this increasing amount of data?

Wow. One GB of trash a day. I feel like we're saving a lot of trouble to a lot of people.
The plans are to let other web sites duplicate SG so that the spameater code can run on many domains. This way, there will be a lot of SG-like sites around.

And you have all the reasons to be proud of it.

Any other website started to do this ?

Not that we know of. But the code is all there. The "only" missing thing is a clear set of instructions for the setup.

Perhaps surprisingly, we're not having any resource issues. We continue to work in fits and starts on a better "productization" of the code, that will make it easy to install and run. As Syskoll says, we're really hoping that other sites will take off. One thought we've had is to build modules for some popular chat board or content management systems (eg, PHP Nuke) that plug in and enable spamgourmet functionality for all the existing users of the service.
Anyway, we're still holding out fine on our server....
