Thanks Tank. We dont have hosting costs anymore and Ive been covering the domain name. Anything I get over the $200 we need for the initial software cost Ill put toward the $25/bi-annual renewals.

If theres any more questions, shoot.
Ill see if I can dig up the old cease and desist letters we got from Lucasfilms legal department.

I mean, it's just not that complicated.
TPM hype hit, the internet was young, message boards were hip, so a bunch showed up. A dude named Chris started a fan/rumor site called episode something dot com. Nightly was the attached message board.
It got mentioned in an issue of Entertainment Weekly and hade a huge uptick in membership. Big enough that multiple communities formed out of it.
Then 20 years passed and here we are.
You missed the part where that Chris dude was a dick who wanted to delete the boards, but he made the mistake of giving a 14-year-old his passwords.

I'm still alive and lurk occassionally.
We'd need money for IP.Board updates, unless there's a free alternative?

Is Mandard gonna be there?

There you go.

I worked something out so we don't pay anything for this new hosting. However if traffic suddenly booms, the server may not be able to handle it. But, hey, free is good, right? We still have yearly domain name costs of around $15.
There's currently $56.46 in our PayPal account.

Done. Okbye.

Forgot to mention I moved us to the new server a couple weeks ago. It was pretty seamless. Seems to be running OK.

Old email accounts are gone, but if you really need it PM me and I'll see what I can do.

I'm going to attempt to move the site, archives and all, to a new host by the end of the month. It'll be around $10-15/month to keep it going, instead of $50/month.
Hopefully it all goes smoothly, but if you show up one day and everything is on fire... Mandard did it.
But nah, we may just need to put the whole board into archive mode and start fresh. At least that way all the old posts are still around.

Site will go down for a little while tomorrow Thurs, July 2 for maintenance. Hopefully it will help resolve some of the slowness issues.

We haven't been on a dedicated server since '07-08.
We were on a Hybrid VPS with 1 guaranteed Intel Xeon CPU core (burstable to 8 CPUs) and 4GB RAM. Now we're on a regular VPS with shared Intel Dual Xeon CPUs and 1.5GB RAM. For $55/month, we could upgrade to 2GB RAM and SSD storage - which they tell me is better for message board performance.Meanwhile... they discovered some issues on the hardware node we're on and fixed them. So things might be running smoother now and we may not have to upgrade. Post here if you have any more problems.

If you click "Don't have a PayPal account," you can just use any credit/debit card. But I'll see what I can do about a Google Wallet or Amazon Payment solution.

We're up to $286.74 now.

PayPal account is at $214.22.

Sorry for the lack of a Nightly plug. And I'm no Chris Sherman.

You guys discovered it, awesome!

There's a small town called "Weed, California" up north.
I believe their entire local economy is based on selling crappy merchandise with "Weed, California" printed on it.
