FITES looking for donations
« on: June 27, 2005, 08:25:37 AM »
Hey everyone!

In the hopes of offering you (our members) a better home for lanparty and game chat... we are looking to move FITES from our homegrown server to a high bandwidth, high benefit, and low cost server.

Disk Space  5,000 MB
Monthly Bandwidth  100 GB
Unlimited  MySQL Databases    
Unlimited  eMail Accounts    
Unlimited  FTP Accounts    
Unlimited  Sub-Domains    
Static IP Included

If everyone could dig deep.. look under the cushions, cash in your piggy banks, or save your lunch money for a week, we could have a faster and better FITES soon!   :2thumbsup:

I just have a few questions pride.
1. Will all the accounts transfer over?
2. The donations are through what service(ex. paypal)?

If you could answer these questions I will definetly pitch in considering I can never make it to a lan party. Thanks pride and I cant wait for the move.

Peace

1. Yes all accounts will be transfered over, we are simply switching web hosts

2. The donations are through paypal, there is a button on the frontpage for it

Hey everyone...

First off... Billa... thanks bro!  Much appreciated!
Tomb - Tekie answered your Q's correctly

The nice thing about SQL, is that it can be imported to a new DB.

The only thing we may not keep is the news articles.  I doubt anyone really references old articles, so that may be something we dump.  The forums we will keep in tact.

Funny thing is people, we actually did this once before, and none of you even noticed haha.

Hey i just wanted to know so I wouldnt have to go through this crap again. And dont even begin to get me started on this crap again von. Its not worth it your fanning flames man. It will just be like valk and me alright. shutup for once and keep your opinions to yourself not like your thinking out loud or anything.

I thought we got over this but I guess not I guess some people never learn. Ya get no homage from me von, cuz i dont like ya one damn bit I could care less but I thought I should just get it out in the open. You know so we all on the same page.

Update:

I have purchased the webspace, and the latest version of Nuke.

will begin work ASA I have access to the server.

Donations would definately still help though.

Billabond, your money went to paying for Nuke 7.8... so in essence you own the next website we use LOL
