You may have noticed we've been down for the past couple days

Craitman went on holiday in Cornwall
Becca (Artz) and I went on holiday to Paris

The hosting ran out, and they had received payment for more, but apparently the payment just bounced?

anyways I paid for another month hosting

You might want to change the godaddy email from mine, I have your receipt if you want it forwarded?

hmmm what is the situation with paying? It doesn't seem right to me that one person should have to pay for our enjoyment and benefit. What is the situation with paying for this site?

Thanks for making a payment Spangle

Aeons ago we had discussed establishing a public account which people could contribute to, but no-one (at the time) was able to contribute, since most people lacked credit cards and wanted to send money orders or cheques via mail. That's not a safe way to send money, and contributions really need to be made via credit or debit card.

It might be a good idea to bring that back. Something could be set up via PayPal.

Ever since I read the small print on my PayPal account I've refused to use it. Huge scam.



Seems right to me. If you join the admin council then maybe you should contribute.
Otherwise this is a public service and I don't think extending the financial burden to others in the community is very fair.
Besides, the entire contents of my bank account belong to Wetherspoons already.

Set up a PayPal and I'd be happy to contribute.

You make a good point. Also it may make the operation slightly difficult has people would start demanding certain things as a "shareholder". Although i think setting up an account for "donations" to the hosting would atleast allow others the opportunity to contribute.

Marvellous timing for the hosting to run-out, eh?

At least it's sorted for the month (big thank'ee, Spangle) and we have some time to arrange whatever needs to be done...

Why not move MCS invisibly onto dr-spangle.com?

like shireroth is on ari-rahikkala.net or such

I will be paying dr-spangle.com hosting to the end of time itself.

That's probably the best thing to do; would definitely save money. I'm sure we could sort something for other people willing to pay hosting being able to get money to you as well...
