servers are cheap, only thing that aint cheap is traffic on this server and whats also costly is tech support
traffic is abitch bc you never know, how things are meshed up all to gether
for example my server has unlimited traffic , but at a cost ... the cost is virtual space, has just 50 mb room, i use it for my customers and their ebay crap, mostly picture hosting, pictures are small (for ebay) and i do compress them further ...
another price factor is the domain name, some names will cost you millions, like ebay ... and some are so cheap, that they are for free ... like DFsrje57ba dot whatever
also im not aware about the costs of the software running on the server, most is good ol open source free, but some models include leasing rates ...
all that has to be taken into account, but its far from an impossible mission, moneywise
plz corect me if im wrong, as i only had russian and german servers ^^

Money is not the issue. The server is cheap. The bandwidth and the drive space are unlimited.
It's about $150.00 a year.
It's about the fact that every time we have some sort of decent thing going it seems we have someone who comes in and shits in shower if you will.
I'm all out of ambition.

Pretty easy to deal with the shower shitters using technical means I'd think if you just clean up the member list to only include members that have posted without already causing grief and accept that any new members will have to jump through a hoop or two via email before they can post. How many dead members' accounts are there here that have never posted or only have a couple useless posts and are just troll army bots? Delete them all. The only cogent argument against doing so is that it would impede new members joining but who are we fucking kidding, when was the last time we had any actually new members that contributed join? Not an issue as far as I can see. Once something like this is in place you basically don't even need to moderate the forum. Anyone shits in our shower, delete the account and its posting history. Done.

on the other hand .. look at the ads/banners .. those are a place of income ...
would you allow that somebody steals your income ? i doubt .. one thing is the front side, that what we the users see and use, the forums, chat, games etc .. the other side is the back side, the server, admin control, plesk desk and so on .. sacrificing one for another ... let it be
as far this thread is, smokes either you nor blindeye seem to be the conflict .. to hell ... i lost overview who has what rights, i would guess both of you have separate admin accounts, i dont know, would be just a logical move (for me) , and as suggested, erase em all, but 1 .. also us users, change passwords and the enemy is outside, considering the server (hardware) is the enemy ... like the old story of a stolen computer .. in which i dont believe to this day ... "hello gad, read this!" ... but thats also not the problem, as the whole forums has place on a thumb drive that can be pluged in on the other side of the globe ...
and while typing this, im having the feeling that i pouring fuel into the fire and not water ...
fucked up situation, no finger pointing towards anyboy .. didnt knew it was that deep

I'm sad. Sorry you feel this way, Smokes. I don't think so, but if any of my shit every harshed our vibe, I apologize. I do understand that things change and life moves on. Thank you for the freedoms I have enjoyed here, my friend. Party on, Wayne!!
