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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
