Hi guys. FrankBlack.Net will no longer be on this server as of Oct. 31. My hope is to find a new server by then, at which point we will move the site over and hopefully, after a few days down, it will be back just as you remember it.

I HAVE found a server that will meet the surprisingly extreme demands of FB.Net traffic, or at least I hope so based on estimates and liberal math. But the cost is $300, and so if you guys are interested in keeping it running, I could definitely use a little help in paying it. The Friends Club has contributed its last $100 to the cause.

Normally, I'd pay out of pocket as I have for other expenses of FB.Net, but I'm traveling, had all my things stolen, and am broke besides. I'll try to make something more appealing in the future, but for now, if anybody is interested in helping keep FB.Net going, PayPal donations will be happily accepted to airman@shaw.ca.

There's been talk of ads and I don't really want to go there if I can avoid it. It's been a community site forever and I like it that way. Though we do kind of try to get a little revenue over linking to FB stuff online and through the store but always in a way that's helpful to you and relevant.

Thoughts, etc appreciated.

OK, I think we're sorted out now. There shouldn't be any loss, hopefully. Famous last words. I'm not sure how long it will take to do the transfer, but I can pretty much guarantee the site'll be down for at least two days.

Will there be a cross-over data loss? I'm imagining that
you would have to move the data after the site is down?
I'm not sure how that would work.

I'm asking because I have something nasty to say about
someone, but after I say it, I would like it to disappear.

The Global Economy is like Free Trade.

It's as global as Free Trade is free, but not for you.

Dean, can I help, being here? Let me know.

Having nothing but problems getting this stupid server set up. They don't like that I'm in Australia trying to register on a Canadian credit card. Grr!

If you're still interested in a CMS engine, (website software), I highly recommend e107. It's got news postings, gallery plug-ins, built-in forums, customizable themes, LAMP friendly...it's open source, and best of all, it's free!

No I am serious. If you really have a suitcase full of money like that one above, I will fly all the way to SF to take it off your hands.

And then of course donate the same amount via Paypal.

that's great. the thing is, this is only the suitcase with the 10 dollar bills. there is also a second one with 100 dollar bills. i hope i don't stretch your kindness too much if i ask you to take both?

Yah, I'm sending Dean's mommy and daddy a little something, including a note saying what a nice boy he is. Perhaps you, too, can write such a note, C?

You know you've been on this forum too long when you know what LBF meant by "LMBYSFB."


Please pardon me, for these my wrongs.

i would like to contribute but not with paypal. is any other way possible? just send some dollars (i still have some left) in an old-fashioned envelope to dean?
others, i will be in SF by the end of the december. i could personally hand my contribution to some paypal-willing fb.netter from there (if there is any). yeah, that sounds fun - i will travel to the US and give the following to a stranger from fb.net:

Haha, I knew as soon as I saw you had posted in here, that you would mention something about bidding on my mom.

Not that I'm saying you're predictable.

I'm liking the idea of the poster, because that is such a wicked shot I'd certainly love a copy of it. We'd need Jedi's permission as well as FB's.

FB's permission could be a stumbling block, but pretending it isn't, knowing this is all in theory: Any live poster from the gallery, take your pick kind of thing. Even shots like Carl's Eraserhead mock up would make great posters for those who want them.
