The webhost and Jackhead's future

[Zexsudel]

Some of you might have noticed our webhost is down. I am looking into why that is. My sister has been generous to give us part of her webspave (which she has paid for) up until now. So I think she should be thanked.

Here are my thoughts on how to deal with this. I would like to drop the Jackhead mockery perhaps and adopt a new one. If not that, at least a new logo to avoid legal issues with PP

I would like to know people's feelings on this. Do you want a new name, or just a new logo? Do you want everything to stay as it is. If you want a new name please post your idea. I will put a poll up later to vote on this issue.

Spread the word if other regulars dont see this post.

I also want to say that it has been a fun ride, but I am looking to step down some from writing all the updates and everything else. I would be intersted in other people helping with news blurps. PM or Email me about this. Please dont IM me about it

Peace out,
Chris <3

Been too days and the only person to view this is myself. This is why I question even bothering anymore

Whats wrong with just having these forums? Aren't they free?

[Zexsudel]

Well if that is all you want then whatever. Enjoy

To be perfectly honest, I rarely ever checked the front page anyway- I just come right to the forums. It was a nice touch, but I don't think its necessary, especially if it costs money and nobody really wants to maintain it. I'm all for just having the forums (there's rarely any new posts except from a select few anyway) for now. If we get a bigger gathering of active members, rather than a big list of names for the same person , then we could consider putting the front page back up, but for now- why bother?

So only Fox has an opinon this matter?

sorry about that, without the front page i forgot how to get here. I had to google search it, lol. The news page was cool and all but honestly the news can easily be incorporated into the forums. The other stuff about the news page that was cool the generals section and all that while being a great idea was used by two people. So while I would gladly throw some cash at the internet to keep the front news page up I can understand why people wouldnt. What im saying is if it turns out to be a major lack of funds that keeps the front page around and general consensus is it isnt worth it, screw it. Work everything into the forums that way its all still here and nobody has to pay for it.

I think anything that we currently do on the front page could easily be moved to the forums.

Also I wouldnt mind just having the forums. The front page is very nice, but not worth putting forth $$$ to keep.

Also as for updates, I never really imagine updates to be some time eating monothlithic task, if you dont feel like doing them anymore its not a huge deal. Usaully if theres big enough news someone will post it.

And for the name and logo, I like our name, I dont really imagine PP could sue us for it. The logo though I could see being borderline since we print it on shirts and such. Again, I mean we have a lot of artistic people in the forums, im sure someone could whip something up.
