The plan...(to keep KSUFANS alive)

[Pete]

we should probably start the move now. So we can re-direct people with this site still up.

In any event, I must secure a hosting site. I am in the process of doing that.  Before that happens, there is no new site, and there is no moving this site.

God damn it.  This is getting me worried.

I'll donate once the total gets over $1000, fwiw. A lot of people said they would if I recall....

UPDATE:

We have reached $700.  Thanks to all those who have donated.

is that the amount that has already been donated, or is that what has been promised to be donated?

[Saulbadguy]

$710

If giving continued at this pace, where are we paced to be by deadline?

Well short of the goal.

I don't know if you care but using joomla/smf this site would be pretty easy to replicate (if that's the way you wanna go).  just saying.

as a KSU grad, I will personally vouch for j@yh@wks when it comes to hosting.  I've done business with him in the past (without knowing who he was) and he does excellent work.

Well thank you for the kind words.  Very appreciated.

I'll build a site.  I'm kind of like the Frank Martin of Message Board Hosting.  Just need my Beasley/Walker.

You'll need BP as your Walker, and Beasley himself as your Beasley.

I mean, it's not like he's bound by NCAA rules anymore.

Given up yet Saul?

[LimestoneOutcropping]

Status?

[doom]

I'm pretty sure Saul gave up.

[KSUHuggins]

Today is a sad day. What is the latest on the new site, hosting, domian, etc.?

Saul gave up the dream.  Maybe he became a Baylor fan.  They like to give up the dream a lot.

[Saulbadguy]

I'll let you know tomorrow or the next day.  Either way, we will have a place to call home.

How many of the company servers have you managed to swindle?

On a serious note. Why would you want to try to finance this thing, and continue to (which already hasn't gone well) when you could move into an established community where all you would have to do is pay for a domain? Better board software with more features. And you can bring all the emotions () It is nice to chat with other fans besides those pesky ku fans. I understand the accomplishment of building and running your own site but looking at some of the costs things migth get ugly. But I will enjoy the show.

Let me introduce you to a couple of sites like that.  They may be a better fit for you.

I could possible help out - I own my own hosting and design company (www.antares-dev.com) and am based out of OP, KS.

I have my own dedicated server in a managed data center - not quite as nice as the setup as the Jayhawk guy has. Our CPU is currently very under utilized (typically single-digits) and runs LAMP - our PHP/MySQL versions are still 4, but we're likely to upgrade within a very short period of time.

I'm a bit concerned about the bandwidth - what MJ said seems to be very high to me as I've got a vbullletin board that probably dwarfs this board running far far less bandwidth. If the board really does use that much bandwidth, you probably best be prepared to pay for it. It could also be this board software. SMF is shareware (a re-engineer of the YABB/SE board) and may not have the best caching/compression in place.

I probably wouldn't want to be the admin - Saul - if you want to take that on I can certainly give you the rights to do so.

I'm not a KSU grad - spent 3 years in MHK before finishing at WSU back in 86. My wife and youngest daughter are both KSU grads (06 & 07).  I'm also CompuCat on the other boards - don't post much as I don't have a ton of time.

Please feel free to email me to discuss.

The bandwidth runs around 250gb-300gb a month.
