As membership grows, so does site usage. Recently we have seen a huge jump in server load and bandwidth. As a result, at times we notice extremely slow page loading. Many of you may have also noticed the new member rankings used to recognize supporting members. Become a supporting member today and get your own cool rank! Every little bit helps.

Please see the instructions as the top of this thread for details on how to do it.

(I am actually hoping it is a little more so that we can also invest in a much needed uninteruptable power supply.) Between now and this weekend I will sit down and calculate the total, update members profiles to reflect their contributions, send out thank you notices and post a list of contributors. If the total is the amount needed for the server I will submit the order and have it assembled and shipped. Thank you eveyone for your support!

Just a few dollars more and the server can be ordered. However, the power supply is still a problem in Robert's area, and that equipment needs to be included in this upgrade, so let's not stop quite yet. If you have not yet made your contribution, please do so this weekend. This is a very critical time for our organization, so please do your part! Please see the top of this thread for instructions on how to send your payment in to Robert More.

Why does a server have to be actually bought? Why not get a dedicated server at an internet provider service such as iPower or Verio? You can get a virtual server for as low as $50 a month and if there are any problems they do all the service. Seems to me there are less headaches? Or am I missing something? _________________ Leo 1986 El Camino 1997 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC "Randy! He drives an El Freakin' Camino! That's like the Cadillac of cars!"

Upgrades don't happen when you need them to the OS or they upgrade the OS without telling you and then your software doesn't run. Many of them don't backup the sites either so if a crash happens guess what? If ECC were a smaller site it would be a good deal. Also I'm sure the $50 a month is for smaller sites without the bandwidth usage this site sees. _________________ '82 El Camino with an LT1 from a 95 Impala SS ECC Member #002 Come over to the dark side, we have cookies!!
