I'll chuck some more in at payday its been quite a bit since i donated now
is there anything we can all do to help lower the costs or speed up the site, i noticed 50gb mainly in pics, i know i've not got many in my
achive, but if everybody went though there own pics and removed there unwanted pics what effect could that have? how about loosing some of the oldest
posts, especialy bits like old forsales and the madhouse?

Thank you to everyone that has put their hand in their pocket over the last few days. A fair old chunk of change has been donated which will at least
cover the bills for a few months.
I hope you have all noticed how fast the site is running on the new server. _luke has done a sterling job helping me with the finer bits of tweaking,
getting search working, etc. I'm very impressed with the performance boost that the new hardware has given, at least that's one positive
thing to come out of all this hassle I've had.
Thanks again for all your support. I'm going back to fixing the mail server so we can get notifications back!

MESSAGE FOR CHRIS
Sometime when you click on a topic you get the page come up that says about how you opperate in your spare time etc etc,
I think that page still has the name of the old connectivity provider that you have parted company with?? Just a thought might be to change that
text!!!
Hope that helps, if I got it wrong then soz!!!

As already said on this thread, the site has helped many 'not sures' to make their kit building dream a reality, me most definitely
included. I have many people on here to thank for me making the Locost a reality.
I'm no mathematician and do not want to get into a running costs battle, but it's not just about money, I'm sure Chris has much of
his free time used up by maintaining this site and I for one think he and his moderators do a sterling job.
Keep up the good work guys

Hi
I don't post much as my experience and knowledge is limited but have learnt a hell of a lot on general information and technique, have also
saved pounds on being able to search and validate the right bits to buy before making mistakes.
Right now am in hospital with prolapsed disc problem and had more than my previous donations worth of value just stopping me from going crazy. (You
can only count the rivets on the ceiling so many times), so have just stuck another reasonable donation into Chris to show my appreciation.
Many Thanks
Mike

Hi,
I don't use the site as much as I once did, mainly due to my Locost now being on the road, so I was blissfully unaware of the recent problems
which Chris has had to deal with. As an IT professional myself I can certainly appreciate the effort Chris puts in to achieving the levels of
performance and availability that the LB site delivers. £200pm can disappear very easily for a professionally hosted site, especially when you are
looking for 99.999% availability (ie. just over 5 minutes per year of downtime)
Even though I don't use the site so much nowadays, I can't remember when I last donated so I've just donated again. I'm pretty
sure I've had many times the value from this forum than any of the numerous books I've bought on the same subject. A typical Haynes manual
is £17.99 I think and you can't ask it questions and it stays the same from the day you bought it until the day you loan it to someone and
don't see it again...
Thanks Chris, I hope you get sorted out with a job soon. If not then seriously consider doing what I did in December 2011 and set yourself up as a
consultant and go get some contracts. I've been lucky to have been continuously engaged for the last 14 months and just had my contract renewed
for another 6 months on Friday. Give me a shout if you want to ask any questions about how to go about it.
Cheers,
Craig.

I've just sent my money. I would hate to loose this forum. I use it every day. It's a great resource.
Cheers Chris.
Chris - I think this is the right way to go - I've used the site loads and really value the quality of information here.
I for one would welcome a £2 a month subscription, even if just to get access to the back of the shop.

Right - I also didn't appreciate the donations may need to be more regular. I think £2 a month is great, so have chucked in £24. Can I get my
status changed to "bloated plutocrat"?
