Hello, everyone

Just let you know i am making some changes to the Forum soon.

The company who runs this website (Boardhost) who are American based have recently been in contact with me on several occasions.

Firstly, regarding the recent mass attack on the server PHP2Shell which hosts this website (and indeed hosts 70% of the websites in the Western World). You may have noticed the Forum was down at times recently.

Secondly, and most importantly. The same website (Boardhost) has been losing ad revenue. And have informed me that after 12 years they are going to start charging me and the other users who run a Forum under their website.

This amount of money is roughly 180 quid a year. Not a huge amount of money, granted. But considering i set this Forum up for free and have ran it that way (free of charge) for 12 years, well it's a slightly bitter pill to swallow.

I have paid for the first two months registration out of my own pocket at (£13.99) per month.

I am reaching out to you fine fellows, the members of this community to see what you can suggest. Would you be willing to make a small contribution to keep this Forum alive? 

I know the Dode Fox lads have their 'Buy me a coffee' thing. I genuinely have no idea how to do such a thing, and tbh i'm embarrassed to even ask. But if this Forum is going to continue, i genuinely would appreciate some help.

I am open to any and all suggestions, lads.

Lastly, i am going to make the Forum private in 1 weeks time. No more freeloading, at least as a guest.

So to anyone who reads this website as a guest (the majoriy of you) 

You will need to know your password to continue reading this Forum. If you don't know it, get in touch asap. 

Either DM me here or on X.

You have until November 1st.

Kind Regards,

Tek
