I will try to work something out. I'm still looking for employment on the island (preferably nanaimo). If I can find decent employment I wont have a problem paying for the server... I'll do my best to keep the site up in some form or another.

The board is safe for now. There may be a few hiccups as I'll have to move it to a new server, performance may not be as great but the important part is it will exist.

No real circumstance change on my end it's just time to leave the Okanagan and follow my dream of living on the Island  :)

I'll always do my best to keep this board online, its as important to me as all of you if not more so.

great news.

And on that note, its probably not out of line to ask if members wanna toss you a couple bucks now and again for server costs.  If even half of us give you $10 you could put a big dent in the server costs I would guess?

Well server costs are roughly 50.00 per month so it's not really that bad just that I wont have a job right away when I move there so money will be tight.

I'd never ask for money unless we were going to lose the board. I will take a starter if someone has one though lol.

well, if you don't get a job right away, we can take up the server costs for a month or 2 I am sure.

We're safe for now.  I've been hosting a few business sites on here as well and they are going to pay for the server. The forums resource usage is low so as long as we dont affect their performance all is well.

If you need any help with the site costs, just say so.
I never realized what the cost was to keep it up and running.

that's the spirit Joel! just find some big server and say "hey there's also this other, small, insignificant little server that needs taking care of too. we'll just tack it on to yours.... it'll all be good, don't worry"

I noticed that the "view messages unread since last login" link has disappeared, although directly typing the URL to generate it still works.

But anyhow no biggie... I'm definitely NOT complaining :)  Just want you to know that so many of us appreciate this resource, and it's all thanks to you!!  ;D

Life is madness right now but I'll look into that when I get a chance.
