Title: The new forum stats and stuff...
Post by: RedRotors on June 07, 2004, 02:38:56 pm
Well, almost a month passed with the new forum, and everything seems to run great, at least, i don't get too much email for troubles.. I took a 3 months package at the place where the site is hosted, to see at first if the place was reliable.. and it seems to be quite well, not much down time.

There's a problem coming up.. The forum is popular, more than i expected..  With the plan i have, we are ok for the BW, we have a 20GIG/month and last month we used 2 GIG. The storage will be a problem in the future.. Just for the forum, we used 50 megs and we have 500megs total.. We don't have a webpage, neither we host pictures so the 500megs will be eaten anytime soon..

The plan i have cost me for 3 months, 36$CAN, if i took a one year it will be 10$/month instead of 12$, but with this plan we have 20gigs of BW and 500meg.. The second plan is at 17$/month ( one year ) and we will have 40gig of BW and 1gig storage..

I would like to know if people could agree to 'participate' with the fees.. I don't want to put a minimum or a fixed price.. you will tell me what could be the best.. No obligation, donation only.. The old Hostboard was free, but not this one.. and i would like to keep this running for a while, we are a great community and anytime soon ( if it's not already done ) we will be the reference for IDI engine..

Any idea will be welcome..

You bet I will help, Marc. Lessee...36$CAN is 12-cents in US dollars, right? ;)

(Just kidding...! :D)

Do you have a PayPal account?

YOu'r quite closed with our 'canadian pesos'  :lol: If we take the plan at 17$/month it will be 200$ pesos or ~ 150$USD..  Yes, i do have a paypal account..

I'm down with supporting the forum. If we go with the $17/month plan will we have a place to host pics for this forum?
Hopefully your paypal address is the same one listed on the forum.  Because you've got cash.

Thanks for your support.

Spike, that's not Marc's PayPal addy. You will need to retrieve the funds and try again with his real ID. Send him a PM to get the right one.  Stan
