New Server Hosting Donations

Post by Mantis » Sun Sep 04, 2022 3:16 pm

Hello all,

Anyone who has visited over the weekend or kept up with the Discord chat will know this already, but we have just moved over to a new hosting provider for the forum as the old providers were increasingly not up to snuff with periods of downtime and various other errors that many have reported to me. Our new hosts should be significantly better (fingers crossed). I am already noticing that the pages in general are loading a lot quicker than before so that's certainly a good sign.

In order to secure a cheaper annual cost I have paid up front for two years with the new providers. Whilst it has worked out cheaper per annum the total up front cost did come to more than I would normally fork out every year. So with that in mind, I would be as always eternally grateful for any contributions to the hosting costs. I know times are tight right now for everyone, so please don't feel obliged to give if you can't spare anything.

The Paypal account to donate to is gamersarms18 at gmail.com (no spaces)

When the renewal costs come back around I'm hoping to negotiate the same "sign-up" price with the new hosts, otherwise the bills increase by a significant margin which will be more costly than the old place. But that's a two years away problem! Until then, I hope everyone enjoys the new blistering page loading.

Thanks all who have given. It is much appreciated and goes a ways to covering the running costs for the place.

Much love.
