The End of Demonland .... Almost

[Demonland 73,140]

The other day we were given the boot by our current hosting provider. They informed us that our arrangement was no longer financially viable to them and that we had a week to find a new home. After 12 years of running and paying for this site I felt that it was a good time to end it all. We had a very good arrangement with our hosting provider (basically free) and I did not want to have to look for a new home and feared that the expenses would again begin to mount. It's not only the financially side that I did not want to contend with but the countless hours of work involved in running the site and making sure that it runs smoothly. The last time we paid for hosting it was a nightmare and the site had many problems. It was slow and could not handle the volume of traffic that occurs post match. I was ready to throw in the towel then. Fortunately we were thrown a lifeline by Vagg and given free hosting on a server that was very quick and hassel free. All good things must come to an end. Vagg's association with the company ended and we were very lucky to continue on there unnoticed for a very long time. Unfortunately our arrangement has been discovered and we are being forced to vacate and the prospect daunts me for many of the reasons listed above. Being a father with a growing family I simply do not have the time or the funds to continue unless we find a solution that is stable, hassle free and financially viable.

Luckily Nasher has agree once again to take up the hosting reigns and we are hoping that the costs will stay down. However, Nasher has already spent a lot of time on the move and being a father like myself that time is very precious. No doubt his time over the next few weeks will be used up making sure the site is running smoothly. So with all that said I thought it was a good time to ask the good people of Demonland to put their money where their mouth is and helps us out here. Below is a link to donations where you can contribute as much or as little as you want. I will be passing the majority of it on to Nasher for his time and efforts in running and maintaining the site. The rest will be going towards the message board software license fees, domain registration and other associated costs with the hosting of the site including extra bandwidth if needed. Currently all these cost either come out of my pocket, through subscriptions to Demonland (which isn't much) and through revenue from advertisements clicks on the site (which also isn't much). Any assistance the community members of Demonland could contribute is always greatly appreciated.

I've just made a subscription, the donations page wouldn't work.

Your hard work is probably taken for granted by many on here (including me), thanks for everything you've done for this site.

Really appreciate all the work you guys do! I, like so many others are daily visitors to the site jumping on countless times a day.

Will become a lifetime member on pay day, and I encourage all those who enjoy Demonland to please give whatever you can afford!

Also this goes out to all those who remain lurking in the shadows, the folk who prefer to take a voyeuristic "watch but don't speak" approach to their Demonlanding (which is totally fine). Sign up to Demonland, contribute when you feel comfortable or don't contribute at all there is no pressure too, just support these guys who ultimately offer this Forum because we all love this godforsaken (hehe) football club to death!

But if you enjoy readig D'land but choose to remain as a visitor please still make a small donation of what you can afford, then crawl back to the depths of the shadows where all the "watchers" lurk.

Viva la Nasher, Viva la Demonland, and Viva la MFC!
