Well since I have been running this site with my own cash and good help from Beau. Costs have been cept at a "handable" rate ... ~$250 / month ...

But after this crash ....

Hmm I'll explain the setup first ...

The webserver is a standalone server but the MySQL has been run on one of the ISP's servers ..
This crash downed not just the database for the site but the entire server ...
+400 customers got affected by this...

This give a not happy ISP...

He gave me 2 choises ...
1. Shut down and fuck off.
2. Lease standalone MySQL server.

I choosed that second!
This added $230 / month to the tally ...
So the total costs are ~$500 / month atm ...

This I can't carry on my self ( I'm no fukkin milionaire). Beau have been chipping in and helping out but I can't live on him alone.

So this to carry costs will have me forced to start installing ADDS ...
Yepp I know this is against the IT "morale" but to be able to keep the suck up for all I have to do it ... For a while at least and see what happens ...

So server will be moved and that will cause down time, adds will be installed.

Dude, I sincerely apologize. I didn't think it would fuck up the site like it did, I was just trying to get a laugh or two.

I apologize to any/all IT members this affected.

Do what you have to Lee. You'll get any money I can spare on a regular basis as well.

Thanks for keeping the site up, I for one really appreciate the effort, and your spending money on our idleness.

damn the consequences makes a pain in the pocket.

I've got a website with a few MySQL databases avalaible. The only glitch is that the only connection possible is "localhost" (means no possibility to use it outside, so the resquesting page have to be located on the site). I didn't checked if there is a possibility to "bypass" that but I would help without any problem.

Or the ads, clicking daily too (just don't put pop-ups they are so annoying)

bossman, throw the ads up. pm me paypal instructions too. this fucking shit is too good not to pay a little something for. i would like to suggest removing mod powers from 1 tomfoolery, however.

:loool:

Sorry to hear that Lee. Sad

Ads are fine by me. Keep up the great work.

removing mod powers from TF won't do anything. You live you learn. I can forgive TF, shouldn't we all?

tom didn't do anything to abuse his modship, therefore why should he be penalized for an honest mistake...this whole issue is fucking ridiculous.

Courtesy of Tom Foolery - Jesse Antarctica - 01-28-2005

well the paypal "donate" link isn't that a bad idea. Not that you're going to become rich with that but that could help.
Or open a porn site with all the junks pics sent to you. "real amateurs" "real people" "come to speak to them". I'm half joking on this one.

Agreed. Costing the website and extra $230.00 buck a month is ridiculous. You hit the nail right on the head with that. :d

mods should have a little more common sense and demonstrate some respect for the site.

Give him a break beau. Clay is about as dull as a show car with the wax left on.

Sorry to hear that. I always clicked on the t-shirt hell link, and did my best to recruit users from UJ (last post at UJ was a prime example of my greater plan). I'll continue to promote this place and do what I can to help out.

I'd like to give my moderator status to minorthreat. Please make it happen.
