THE FORUM IS MOVING...

[JaiDee]

(jadeite @ Jul. 19 2008,13:25) Godaddy for example is one of the largest and most reputable hosting sites in the world.

you seem to think we went about this forum move without doing any research before moving and that Godaddy or Yahoo or some other server company would be better.....  don't you think we explored every option out there?  And really, don't sweat it...... Stogie may not be spending just 10 bucks per month to host this forum, but it certainly ain't much and he gets his own server!  Shared servers.....equals " website down" quite often ..... and how many of the readers here would stand for THAT for very long?

              BW costs have indeed come down, but you must understand the types of site[s] you are viewing here.....with so much traffic, not only on this forum and the ATS website but with all the promotions out there on the web which are paid for here as well, called Free Hosted Galleries [free to the promoter, but not to the website behind the promo's!].  We contacted Cave Creek hosting in Arizona 3 months ago; the same people who do billing for most adult websites also do hosting on some Arizona server farm.   Told them our stats, the guy says he'd get back to me the next day..... and then his quote was 150% higher than what we pay now, no joke.    We appreciate the input but trust me, there is no better deal out there or we'd be on it.

This is the third server company I tried.

It was an expensive learning process but these guys seem to be able to deliver...

If this message board is gonna be serious about being around and getting busier then you can't do it by halves and thinking small...

By next June I would like to see a minimum of 200 people on here every day all the time, not just sometimes.

It's an achievable target with the moves and changes and plans we have...
