Cheers Andy for your efforts and kind service.

By moving to a new host, do we lose the rich (and not so rich) posting history of Demonland like we did when we moved from Aimoo?

I don't believe so. All the files and data will be moved across from one computer/server or another. Hopefully there will be minimum disruption. Unfortunately when you change the server it sometimes can take up to 72 hours until the change reaches all the ISPs around the world. I will let people know before we make the move that we might appear to be down for the next couple of days.

What's the annual cost of running this board? Whatever it is,divide it by the number of users and those who don't pay,don't use.We have enough users already.

Failing that,i'm sure Kapersky and Hankook would send some coin our way for a couple of banner ads or even some of our bosses could sponsor us in exchange for a small ad.

Advertising isn't ideal, but it's either advertiser pays or user pays.

Glad I read this thread through to the end. For a moment there I was wondering how I was going to fill a massive void in my life...

I seriously don't know what I'd do without Demonland. So I thank those who donate to this site. And I thank Demonland, Nasher, and anyone and everyone else who kept this site going.

Thanks for the nice words, Deanox. But, I can't take the credit. Didn't receive the Royal Nod on this occasion. Seems someone else has has kindly stepped into the breach. So, I'll just wait in the wings and be ready to help if the need arises again.

Just looking forward to a few great seasons from the Mighty Dees!

Cheers!

Didn't mean to snub you. :)

The offer is greatly appreciated. A mate of mine has given me an offer that was too good to refuse. I hope you understand.

Was there a reason my post was deleted? Mods getting in the habit of deleting members posts without so much as an explanation these days?

I'll say it again.

If it weren't for 'land and 'ology there would be little or no useful news for those of us living overseas. And when MFC supporters can't support their membership groups, you know there's a big problem. This is one of the few public places I feel like frequenting to talk footy, even when I'm at home. And as a direct result of 'land, I feel 1000% more a part of the club than at any other time in my life.

I cringe at the thought it's not permanent, as I worry that other wayward MFC fans may not know to come here, and may fall by the wayside. Lord knows we need every one we can get!

You sure you didn't imagine posting it? There's nothing in "trash can" (where all deleted posts go). The most recent deleted post was from about 4 days ago.

Ta for that.

I reckon it may have been a browser issue. This connection I'm on regularly is temperamental.

Good luck with the new hosting, and for the love of God, keep us up to date.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
