I just got an email from the Spaceports people (the place my site is hosted on) and they say that starting January 1st, 2004 there will no longer be free hosting by them. All unpaid accounts are being removed by the end of the year! That's not enough time to leave a link to wherever I'm moving. That's barely enough time for me to find a new place. If anyone has any suggestions on a good free host, please let me know. We can't let The Tails Archive go down so easily. For those who I've affiliated with, I'll try to give you a new link as soon as I find a new place.

If you don't mind having your address at www.techsonic.net/xfox/ I can arrange an ftp and space for you. Plus you would get an XFox@techsonic.net address if you want it. No ads, no rules. But this is temporary, no more then 3 months if bandwidth is high, if not, then longer. |

Yeah yeah, no problem.
Are you going to want your own message board on the server or keep this one?

I'm not sure. I've never had any other board than this one. I'd leave it up to the members if they want to move. But for now it would be best to stay with this board since it's where everyone will look if they didn't get the message on the old site before they take it down.

Sheesh... it's only a matter of time until EVERYTHING costs money (as far as web hosting goes). Well, I'm glad you've found a new site, and I'm gonna check it out soon.  Good going foxlogic!  |

No! :PI finally find something I like, and then someone threatens to take it away!  But I guess all good things must come to an end, right?  Hope for the best guys...and thanks to XFox for taking steps to preserve what little we have in this world. |

Keep the board here. Besides, putting the message board there may affect your bandwidth... won't it?  |

But You Can Only Have Seven Pages On Freewebs Unless You Pay

well, i found away around the page count. register multiple sites, and make them look the same. each site you register can be a "Page" like if oyur site has "Games", and "Staff", you can make those 2 different sites, and use the link. ingenious, huh?

But You Can Only Have Seven Pages On Freewebs Unless You Pay You're joking right? As far as I know, that rule only applies to their editor. If you set it to advanced and code the HTML yourself, I don't think it would apply. I never trust "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) editors. What do you get if you type 4 lines of orange text in the middle of the screen? You get 4 font tags and an absolute positioning for each line. Why not just one font tag and center tag? It lacks judgement and there's no substitute for that. |

Hey guys, just don't worry about a thing. I got the hosting thing under control. XFox shouldn't ever need to worrie about moving again unless the FCC shuts me down. And I don't see that happening any time soon. Plus, I really don't have a space limit on him.

If XFox hadn't found a solution or was still having trouble or I heard or this sooner (lot of ifs there, 3) the SFN would have been ready to help

Thats a horrible design, my eyes are bleeding... Plus, I'm already doing that kind of thing by giving site owners space on my own server. |

But everything is cool with your site now XFox? No need to go crazy looking for another place for your site?

He shouldn't have to as long as my computer lives, and considering how I take care of it, It's not going ca-put for several years. Plus by then, I'll have a T1 with a Linux based server with lots of space.

 BTW, thanks for installing the phpBB on my site for me, Foxlogic. I wouldn't 'a' had a clue how to do it even if I had the stuff I needed to do so.
