Keep Demonland going

Dawi03, who runs Demonology has announced that he is giving up running the site come year end:

"Bad news is Ive decided I will be finishing up Demonology as there is too much work to do ie live feeds etc and general maintenance for no reward. So we will roll on till the end of the year.

Hope we can continue you win!!

Its a Grand Old Flag!! "

His reasons are the time and the financial demands that running the site require of him.  To quote:

"Cheers mate. More important things in life unfortunately. The Mrs cracks it every weekend when I am trying to stream then upload the win. And would rather spend time with the little one than worry about the site. I think the chat is moving a lot to Facebook anyway "

"The stream isn't time consuming. The running of the site is time consuming. And frankly I'm over it."

So at the end of the year it will be Demonland alone for all us tragics!

We all need to be aware of the time, energy and money that Andy and Nasher have put in and continue to do so.  They also have partners and families who rightfully demand their time.

They cannot do it all alone, and we should all be prepared to help out that little bit, when needed.  And as Andy has shown any excess funds are directed toward the club. 

Let's keep making Demonland a win-win for everyone.

Will it shut down or perhaps someone else will take it over? I know a few other forums that are being    marginalised up by the accursed Facebook.

The idea of discussing football on Facebook is obscene.

Without Demonland I'd have to actually talk to my other half.

I went to Ology when Land crashed for a few days. Before that the only time I paid attention to it was when Doctor Who tried to turn it into the MFC version of Pravda via stealth. Too cliquey for mine, too smug and self congratulatory and not enough lovable nuffies compared to land.

I often get asked how much it costs to run the site and it is not cheap.

You might have noticed that we are no longer crashing on match days during our peak activity and that is because we doubled the specs of our server.

The hosting cost approximately $170 a month and the message board software is approximately $500 a year.

All up that's about $2500 a year and that does not count the time that I, Nasher and Whispering put in to the running of the site not to mention the moderators who do a thankless task.

So if you would like to keep this site going and want to contribute see my post above for the options that suit you.
