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. To donate any amount to Demonland please follow this link: DONATE TO DEMONLAND If you would like to subscribe to Demonland for either 1 year ($20) or Lifetime ($50) please follow this link: SUBSCRIBE TO DEMONLAND Taking out a Demonland subcriptions will remove the Advertisements from the site as well as offer you a mobile skin for viewing the site on a smartphone. Obviously none of these options are mandatory but please be reminded that a lot of hard work and time goes in to bringing you this forum for free. Also just a reminder that we will be moving to our new home tonight, Monday 9th of July (around 8pm AEST). More information here. Please be patient whilst we iron out any bugs.
