I am looking into this, and it appears your counter is putting added stress on this server.  I do have a few questions for you:

It appears you are getting 1.5 million pageviews each day. 

How many sites are you using your counter on? 

Which versions of the counter are you using?

Why are you displaying only one flag and one column on a white background with white text? We are seeing many requests for a counter that only looks like  this;  http://s07.flagcounter.com//count/DymW/bg=FFFFFF/txt=ffffff/border=ffffff/columns=1/maxflags=1/viewers=3/labels=1/

It is a violation of our policies to hide the Flag Counter logo.  Do you have a legitimate reason to track 1.5 million pageviews daily?

-  It's absolut legal. I collect so many flags per day because i use some forums which are very visited

How many sites are you using your counter on? 

aprox. 5-6 sites

Which versions of the counter are you using?

i mainley use 2 counter, but recently i also used the mini map version, thats why i got so many views.

Some forums and sites have restrictions or options that only allow you to post a image of an certain size.

I have to say this week i got many views,i tested out a site and it went out of hand

here is a good example how i got millions from a photo site :

some pictures can even get 700,000 views in 1 day ... thats where many views come

i will also reduce my pageviews in the future...

as you can see i got 1 million + pageviews for only 4 days... i mostle get 100,000 unique visitors a day

Mark theres no way you get 1.5M views per day only from 6 sites.. unless you have hacked U.S.A goverment site..

Even from 1 site i can get you -_____-  think if a picture has 700K views a day x2 - 1,4 Mil pageviews..ha

It is difficult to focus my efforts and try to track down a cause of this issue when you are using every possible version of our service in multiple configurations on dozens of different sites.

the problem is going on for 5 days now  i`m getting less traffic now
