INTERNET CRISIS

and I would buy the site before it ever fell off the internet for good. Only as a last resort. |
I just thought of it. I was going to buy my empire with GF1 dollars! F'in A on how more things were supposed to be added to the store.
|
ed:
I dont believe it... just a few months ago we transferred to GF1, and now we're shutting down...already? wallbash: But we're with ya all the way Noctis... |
dont think we would make enough from donations or someone ready to spend as much as what ive seen on the host gf1 is hosted on (not sure what plan gf1 is on, but cheapest seems like alot)
we need to keep this place going. and ill be willing to make a good donation |
Ok, let me put my spin on things. Whoever takes over the reigns should be supported financially by the members. Perhaps we should've done it long ago with BS but we didn't know the details until now.
As for who should take over, without stepping on anyones toes or putting anyone on the spot, i recommend Noctis and/or Zoner. These two guys earned mucho respect from the members and have been here long enough to recognize the "significance" of this site. All they would need to do is get the membership behind them and approach BS with a plan. ....i'll support either guy. |
im with arkan on this.
stickey this thread! its crucial to gf1s survival |

I've put in an e-mail to my webhost to see if they'll be able to handle the load the server takes just to begin with. Waiting for that reply... either way, I still think there are less expensive solutions for hosting than what is being used currently. Secondly, if BS were to allow myself - or anyone, really - to take over on the financial ownership end of things, I think that Zoner undoubtedly needs to be involved at a very high level. Zoner, of us all, knows more about how BS has chosen to run the site. Other than perhaps a slightly higher degree of involvement, I think the site should continue to be run as closely to the way BS ran it as possible. Opinions and/or support are welcome. I also think this topic needs the sticky stamp. |

I'll stick with the forum in whatever form it takes in the future. You're not getting rid of me that easily...heh heh.

Is BS's 4-yr term up? oOo:
|
shitty i was just getting used to you guys , and i wanted to play some CS:S with all of you guys , im down for a $ 5 or 10 dollar monthly fee. i can sell crack to rich white kids, what a smashing idea .. / calls the hook-up
loney: |
I don't think there needs to be a monthly fee or anything like that. Just donate what you can, when you can.
I think what we can do, though, is open up a PayPal account for donations. We can use the funds to pay for game servers first, applying any remaining dollar amounts to the webhosting. After building up a good reserve account for hosting services (i.e., three months worth of webhosting, three months worth of game server hosting) we could apply the additional funds to prizes for community members and advertising to keep the community alive. I also think it's important that if/when someone takes over the site, said individual is able to finance the site sans any donations in case they are slow rolling in. Just my further two cents. |
we need a closing video like aa.com had but this will be a finale rock:
|
We definately need to keep this site open, donations towards the gameserver and webhosting is definately a good idea. I'm able to contribute something towards the upkeep of GF1!
I am also willing to contribute my services towards part of the upkeep of the site (working on updates etc) should it be needed. GF1 is my home it shouldnt be shut down cry: |

If all this does go forward and we actually get someone to take over BS' place, we should think of some way to attract more people to this site ... some way of advertising it so we can get more members to keep this place up.
More members = more money for GF1 is what I'm thinking. |
I'm in.
I'll donate. I don;t have a problem with that. |
Shitty. VIVE LA LOCTIS rock:

I've checked out traffic estimates, etc. I've also contacted two webhosts about the site.
It can be hosted differently than it is now without much difference in the way it runs and for less than $200/mo. |

edit: like right now, 63 people are online. if he had lower bandwidth, it would take a few minutes for each page to load. |
At least Ill go down as #1.
But what the fuck...win the lottery BS!!!! I really could careless if it was only a forum from now on... |
! cry: annoy:
|
If he pays $210, he is getting ripped off.
Not sure if he runs a dedicated server or what. Either way, without the burden of file downloads, etc. Forums don't require a whole lot of resources. Different ballgame entirely. And honestly, who ever read any of the other crap? |
checguvea will gove some moey

badscript was not getting ripped off, as was getting a dedicated box at theplanet.com, he could have payed even way more then $200, depending on the plan he had. shit, he could have been paying $500. my father pays $550+ a month for a dedicated server he has for his business. that is the norm for them, and it is just all because of bandwidth. bandwidth kills the price |
