Hey Kids,

Just wanted to let ya know I (like sagger a few months ago) have had it with our current host, OLM. They cost way too much and provide way too little. Hell, I can't even pay for the service online. I have to fax my cc# to them. I'm going to switch to powweb. Twice the bandwidth, four times the server space for 80% less than what I pay to OLM.

Things to consider during the switch.

- The old forum (with 15,000+ flat files) may take a while to be restored and function correctly - even though it's read-only.
- Exporting and restoring the current forum's database may not be very smooth
- Some recent posts (like posts the day of the move) may be lost
- the site may be down for two or three days.

But despite these potential problems, there won't be any more bi-annual pledge drives. We're talking only $93 a year for everything! That's less than 4 table dances for Walt.

Of course, we could just shut the whole thing down in January.

Vote and tell me yer thots.

Why not just save the Classics section from the old forum and ditch the rest? If it isn't in the Classics at the this point, it ain't worth saving.

Look into your heart, prez. I know you will do what is right. Remember, you will always be the brightest star on the darkest night.
