i wanted to get this up now so you gus have time to think and research quickly. i just found out yesterday that they are moving my company to south carolina and are aiming to have that happen by the 19th of this month. they have yet to make me an offer but will do so beginning of next week. due to the circumstances, i do not know if i will be unemployed for a while to look for another job here, or this parent company will make a reasonable offer. so my ability to support the forum is up in the air.


i know magic has been offering to pay some and others might offer to chip in, just to get off this thing. in researching hosting sites i've run across a nice line up that has FAR better offers then the individual sites were pulling. i'll post the link so you guys can look at it, read reviews and decide where you want to go. as soon as things smooth out for me (if that isn't a laugh) i'll try pitching in.

who actually owns this place? FD seems to be, but i read in here by her that she didnt?  anyways, i am just asking because its easy to host these things locally over here ... it could be a possibility for me to do that.

this is a free board that was set up by fd. but she looks at it as "our" board. its all the users. none of the "my board my rules" bs. this is basically a temp stage until we can go to a phpbb forum and get most all the features back like df's vbulletin board.

I told you from day one that I'd be willing to put up some money.  I don't have a ton, but I think this would be a worthy venture for us all.  If anybody else can chip in, great.  As far as the future years to come, we'll get sponsers and/or set up a collection and/or charge for upgrades and such.  As far as what server to use, that one looks great to me.  Besides, you know more about it than I do.

Yeah, I can set up some decent ads and whatnot too.   Have a paid subscription type thing too... (i'm sure not tooo many will take advantage of it, but a couple might...)  Users would get increased avy size, increased pm box capacity, Maybe we could put some special little star or something under or around their names on each post, I don't know, whatever... we can come up with more... than it will be like $5/month, or $10/6 months, or $15/year... whatever... of course there would still be the free, 'regular membership'.

right, that's what I was thinking.  Something along those lines.  And we could do like *cough* DF *cough* and put up that banner **** with the advertisments.  Wonder how much you get for doing that.... at any rate, I'm sure we'll be fine.  We'll figure it out.  For right now it's fine, though.

the banner on top of Df is a google thing... and I'm pretty sure that just allows the site to be sort of cataloged into google's search engine.  I have received several offers of help though from webmasters and such, I could easily hit them up for what ads are profitable to them, and where to find reliable ones.

Sounds like a plan. 


In the mean time I have to go to class and probably won't get out until 9:30.  Unless I get lucky and one of my classes get out early, but that's doubtful.  Pattie I'm emailing you my cell number just in case you need me to close this deal like, right now.

well, since its your card you kinda have to order the service. just get the smaller package from them now. if we need to upgrade bandwidth later we can. then just email me the username/password for the admin that they will give you. i'll let you decide whether you want to pay by month/6 months/year. like i said, as soon as i get a real ****ing paycheck that happens steadily, i can take over. otherwise you might not see me for a while.
