lol, where have you been looking? i pay $11/mo for my hosting and I have 210GB bandwidth/mobitplane wrote:See sourceforge statistics, up to 100gb a month. That's close to $50 a month of hostingTheBeef wrote:Yeah, the forums are so slow to the point of me not even bothering with a topic at times.
Why not just migrate the boards over to a different phpbb site?
Ever used anywhere near that 210GB? I doubt you'd get 150mb-200mb of RAM and 100GB of bandwidth for $10 a month, I was going off the prices on http://nearlyfreespeech.net who charge for what you use instead of subsidising and kicking heavy users off due to fair use policies. I use http://goultimatehosting.com/ myself and pay about $50 a year, they claim it's unlimited but I wouldn't trust Irrlicht's forums to a company that isn't well established or come with gleaming reviews from other heavy users.The Anaconda wrote:lol, where have you been looking? i pay $11/mo for my hosting and I have 210GB bandwidth/mo
A very generous offer indeed, well worth talking to Niko and the others about it. Is SMF that much better than phpbb3?Spintz wrote:I'd like to provide some incentive for this move. So, if Irrlicht moves to SMF forums, and gets rid of phpBB, I'll donate the $166.80 to pay for the first 2 years of the hosting at $6.95 / month.
I can even provide my services in helping to migrate from SMF to phpBB, there are converters that do this for you, user database and all, it's very easy. I did it with Irrspintz forums, which granted were much smaller, but it'd definitely possible.
Let me know, email me if the Irrlicht team is interested, I don't check this forum very often.
But other than that I don't know what the change would be for. I like both of them either way, as long as Irrlicht forums can still keep this cool color scheme.http://www.jaguarpc.com/ ive been with them for years, theyre constantly upgrading their hardware, their connection, and their offerings, and they have one of the most on-the-ball, responsive tech support's I've ever worked withbitplane wrote:Ever used anywhere near that 210GB?
