Possible scenario

by **Damian** on Fri May 31, 2002 2:00 am

Ok, well we've been here for a while. Been quite a nice home for myself and many of you. I am of course talking about ReadyHosting, our host for these 1+ years.

I guess you get what you pay for, that is:

No PHP support
No mySQL support
No remote CHMOD
Slow speed
Not a brilliant uptime rate.

I personally would love to change servers, one of the reasons I don't put all that much effort into this site is because I can't use many/any scripts with it. Everytime I do I have to make an international call to the US and ask them to!

It would make it so much easier to update emulators using a script that does it in a few seconds, rather than uploading the hogs on my slow connection.

The price? Advertising, a standard banner on every page + 1 popup. But hopefully no pop-ups on the forums.

This means we could get a very modern forum with many more features, that is much more speedy. Also downtime would be greatly reduced, and I can think of quite a few scripts right now that I would love to add onto this site.

Any thoughts?

If this gets moving, which I frankly hope it will, we need to act fast, so please tell me what you think.

Popups are evil, but it's your site ^_^

Anything would be better than this server though, the only reason I don't post at these forums much is that they're so rediculously slow to surf through. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

It wouldn't bother me any to move.

My vote is yes

...unless this server would be using anti-ad blocker...

Good point there, Adidas. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

No anti-ad blocker I would say, and the popups would be every other page or something like ZTNET.
