Hey guy some important news.
1. Sometime in the next week or two I will migrate the site to a new server. It's on a shared server account hosted at Lithum Hosting. It costs $37.50/2 years but this is an old unused account of mine so it is paid until February 2017.
2. The domain name is paid until October 2016 so this year we'll need to renew it.
---
Important Thing #1: I am not going to be able to continue administering the site. To be fair it runs itself but I need to get it off the server it is now, and generally won't have a lot of time to help with anything technical in the future.
Important Thing #2: Anyone who wants a complete copy of the current database, let me know. I'm going to be backing it up soon and can share the download link.
Important Thing #3: If anyone wants to take things over I'll happily transfer the domain name and anything else they need. I know some people were talking about wanting to move to a new forum all together. Let me know what you decide.
Thanks!

Nothing like an existential crisis to start your day.

LOL don't worry I'm not going to just dump this place. Just putting out the feelers. I can get it all setup on a new server and people can just pay the hosting bill and it will run forever, if thats what is wanted. Baby #2 is coming in september, i'm changing cities/jobs/career paths and life is too insane :)
-
I would be willing to host it however if someone else is interested by all means.

The part must return to its whole.
I reckon it's time to come back to 'Merica, boy.

For real.
AMERICA! :D
-
But in all seriousness. Maybe this isn't a bad time to upgrade the site.
What is everyone's thoughts?
-
upgrade how?
It would be nice if you would host it and I am willing to pitch in to keep things running.
-
I don't know exactly what I mean by an upgrade however something sleek and well refined. Something that catches the eye as well as a forum.
I just don't know.

Yes, the plan is to move home (NYC but possibly DC) next spring (2017). ;D
-
Is it time to panic????
I've worked on phpbb forums in the past; lots of different bells and whistles you can add to that. Not sure how to set one up from scratch though, something I could look into.
Congrats Hoppus on new baby and all the exciting stuff going on!

I work in NYC.
You should come to NYC.
IT IS RAD!

Kids ruin everything. ;)

Funny guy.

Christ don't get me started on Bernie the hippy who knows nothing about economics or apparently maths... ALMOST as bad as the fascist would-be Mussolini Trump. And I mean that!
-
Agreed!
-
So on a forum note.
Here is what I am thinking.
I will start developing a new site in the background and if we all like it we can migrate to it at some point when renewal time happens.
Anyone with advice or input by all means shoot me a PM or chat here in the open! :D

Ew, didnt mean to spark political discussion. You guys take Sith infatuation too far in to reality ;)

I only hope your loyalty runs deeper than your animal instinct to procreate and be a fixture in your childrens lives Gal.
We know where Hop stands!

No Children here!
Also no more job changing. I am in a quite stable position now with my own SW Podcast.
My loyalty to this place has been renewed! :D
