MNO could be done?

I was informed today that our server service is shutting down February 28th 2023.

I'm not sure if I can find a new server in this short a notice of time. Then, have the site transferred with or without interruption.

We'll see

Oh well....it was a good run....

Hope you find something and can move stuff in time. In case you can't will you eventually bring it back and do you have a way to connect everybody if you do?

In the event you can't get it moved in time will you make a last day post reminding us all?

If everyone's email is valid, I probably could setup a automatic email.

If I get a heads up before he shuts it down, I will post it up.

Sure a good thing I got glenn's mailing address & started a wren breeding program in my basement.  :rotflmao: I have enjoyed MNO very much. Not many people on here pretentious & full of themselves. Gotta appreciate that. Please keep us informed HD.

I do hope you can figure this all out.  I'm not much help figuring out this kinda stuff out.

I can't believe you have such short notice.  :angry:

I will also bet that most of us have no clue as to how much money it takes to host something like this or if the advertising revenue even covers the cost.

Perhaps you could move it to the cloud (AWS, IBM).  Again, i have no clue about their rates, or what they charge for professional services to configure virtual servers and migrate.

Good luck.

I can honestly tell you that I get ZERO money from all the advertising you see on the site. 99.999% was / still is offered for free to active posters. That being said, I could clear out all the banners, except for LPS'S..... I'm just lazy 😁

But, I'm working on a plan....I just hope I can get it done before he pulls the plug.

Well that's a bummer. Lots of good fellers on this site. Hope you do get it figured out HD. I would surely donate to the cause too if needed.

Welp, so here is a update.....

My tech-guy is building a server to transfer the site to. He's trying to run a sample site to see if it will run fast and smooth enough. I inherited the site, so there is a lot of old / unused files (mostly jpeg, jpg, mpg, png files) that can slow down performance. If we can decipher what's needed and what's not, we should be ok.

So we'll see, and I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for what you are doing. Just dump anything over 90 days old and call it good.

From what I can tell is, these are  themes & banners and such. But I'm not sure which are current and which are old. They're not labeled well enough to understand what they are  :banghead:

Can you just go through and pick 10 forums you want to keep active and bomb the rest?
