URGENT PLEASE READ: New Server

[Demonland 64,705]

Shortly we will be migrating to an upgraded plan for the hosting of Demonland. We are hoping that this will alleviate the instances where Demonland has crashed alot recently. I won't bore you with the specifics but the change will of course take Demonland offline for a little bit. Hopefully it is only for a short time but I am not certain when it will be done or how long it will take. Hopefully it does not impact discussion of this weeks match.

Unfortunately this is going to more than double what we already pay to get Demonland online so if you are keen to help us out (and it's certainly not mandatory that you do) you can do so in the following ways.

Take out a Demonland Subscription - not only are you helping Demonland out but all the advertisements that a littered throughout the site will disappear.

Donate to Demonland - If you already subscribe to Demonland and want to contribute something extra you can help us out this way.

Purchase some Demonland Merchandise - look cool and help Demonland out in the process.

I don't like having to put my hand out and I and the site will survive if you don't but if you enjoy Demonland and want to (and can) contribute those are the way you can do it.

Hopefully this will solve the constant issues that we have been having and you can continue enjoying this site without further interruption.

As always all funds will go towards paying for the hosting & the annual forum software fees and if there is anything left over I always like to pay it forward to Nasher whose help is invaluable.

Go Dees.

Andy

Think I have current membership which is the best investment ever made.

Donated last year to recognise your efforts and maintain my enjoyment of the best investment ever made.

I have referenced this site as one of the best performing applications I have ever used.

Happy to donate again to continue.

Please provide a bsb and account number to effect transfer of small donation which is all I can afford

Go the Dee's

 

Edit: it went through, go the Falcons FROSTY!!!

Thanks guys. Hopefully, the down time will take place in the middle of the night and not while there’s a game in progress involving the Demons.?

Migration is apparently taking place at midnight tonight. It shouldn't impact the game unless there are complications. ?

Thanks to all those who have contributed. It is much appreciated.

Hi, I became a member years ago with suggested $100 contribution, which removed the ads and all was good. But recently after one of the crashes, I was unable to access the site for a week or more, long story short, I had to create a new account with a different email address. And of course the ads returned. So Andy let me know the account details and I’ll forward funds over. 

It’s worthwhile reminding us every now and again of those recurring costs that have to be paid and the free expertise provided by Nasher. You all do an amazing job! What would I do with all those hours in my week without Demonland!

If you PM your old username perhaps I merge your current account with the old one and you do not have to double dip. Your original donation is much appreciated so no need to have to pay again.

Out of curiosity, how much does it cost to maintain the site? Does Demonland get any revenue? I’m happy to donate when I get back home

Support these comments entirely, well done so far and in particular, your message to 'users' related to DL needs.

As an interstate member, Demonland is my football 'lifeblood'.  Thanks Andy and crew for your great work.  More than happy to donate.

We get revenue from the ads on the site. The costs vary but have grown exponentially as the site has grown.

Bloody door knocker.

 

Just threw a pineapple your way.

Thanks to everyone involved in keeping the site running.

Andy

perhaps you could put up a target figure like you did last year. (Or was it the year before).

$100 on the way in the next day or so.

This is a great site as I have so often said.

I've updated the donation target on the side (or towards the bottom of the pages on mobile).

It used to alert you when your yearly sub was coming up and then if you don't pay by that time you get downgraded back to a member but I think there is a issue with the system and there is no renewal so effectively you have been an annual member since Feb 2016.

I'm looking in to fixing it but I will manually downgrade those Annuals that are no longer in their year of subscription.

You'll probably start seeing ads soon. sorry about that.

I've made an update. Let me know if it reinvoiced you to continue as an Annual member. Actually let me know what the process is. It shouldn't automatically charge you but let me know if it does. In fact let me know what happens as I'm not exactly sure of the process. I think it gives you a grace period and then if you don't pay by that time it puts you back as a normal member.

[Robbie57 1,990]

Thanks for your unwavering contribution and support of Dees supporters. 

Donation on its way.

Thank you. We continually try to improve the look and feel and ease of use. Unfortunately of late we've had some hiccups and in hopefully adding some muscle will improve the experience.

Prob better to do it after the carltank game cause if we lose the site will go into melt down anyway!
