Re: Upcoming Server Move Reply #3 – 2015-07-14, 22:25:45 I hope so. Europe it's full of nazis let's turn Persians.
Re: Upcoming Server Move Reply #5 – 2015-07-15, 13:57:40 I really couldn't say. Hopefully no more than an hour, plus of course there's the DNS propagation stuff.

Frenzie is below deck making sure the server is alright String is doing navigation, I guess that's why we're moving backwards

Good.South Koreans will be executed but we don't have too much South Korean posters so I don't worry. Maybe Sparta will be confused with a South Korean but that's simply a matter of "collateral effects" - as Americans says. Not too much of a lost.The "Europeans"... he he, that you'll be funny.On a more serious note, I think we should discuss again the problem of hosting services cost. If there's a problem with that we all should contribute. I'm open to such agreement. Last Edit: 2015-07-15, 23:15:02 by Belfrager
Re: Upcoming Server Move Reply #10 – 2015-07-16, 09:12:46 The server move is complete and seems to have been fairly uneventful. Please let me know if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to receive money?If you want lots of support from everyone, set up a Paypal account or such. If you really want open support, do more than just Paypal. Otherwise it might suffice to publish your personal bank account - or a newly-created personal bank account to virtually separate it from your personal-personal bank account. If you don't want the bank account to be totally visible to everyone, hide it like the Test forum is hidden. I think a sensible place for it is a "Contribute/Donate" Button/Section next to "T&C". Btw, have we moved now? Edit: Ah, I see we have, uneventfully.

The needs are small.Quote from: ersi on 2015-07-16, 10:52:48Btw, have we moved now? Edit: Ah, I see we have, uneventfully.The old site may still show up on some DNS servers for a little while yet. For instance, I believe that my own ISP's DNS servers didn't start pointing to the new server until 2-3 hours after the actual move. In that case you'd see a notice that the forum is in maintenance mode.

Re: Upcoming Server Move Reply #15 – 2015-07-17, 00:28:11 I second Ersi's paypal nomination. That's how I support my favorite sports forum. Let us know if you do that, Frenzie, and you can count on my support for sure. (Can't wait for Howie to come back and ask what the hell Paypal is. )
Re: Upcoming Server Move Reply #18 – 2015-07-17, 07:51:22 Thanks, guys. I'm not too fond of PayPal myself, but I'll have a look at it.

Re: Upcoming Server Move Reply #23 – 2015-07-18, 18:51:51 There seems to be no shortage of ways to transfer given the account number to send it to. That wouldn't be my favorite option tho. Conversion rates seem to differ some across the spectrum.Seems like an ok one here... https://www.xoom.com/belgium/send-moneyPaypal is fine for me, if that's the way you go.
Re: Upcoming Server Move Reply #24 – 2015-07-18, 19:24:42 Paypal seems to be the obvious choice, otherwise wire transfer fees will cost more than what you try to send. At least for those of us outside the EU. Also, wire transfers are a pain in the arse.
