Hi BRIGGS.

We were down yesterday for a couple of hours and then we were down last weekend while the both of us were out of town. We think something is messed up with our firewall.

I guess we should set up a distribution list or something when we go down so that everyone does not think we have shut our doors and gone to a third world country.

Why does everyone take it so personal when we have a snafu?

What do you guys think?

Should we open a tip jar and accept some donations and then put this site up on a hosted environment where it will go down less (hopefully never)?

Martin--this is the only website that I could not access on the net for over a week. I knew it was down but when it came back up I still couldnt enter. I cant enter the website via the url--I have to use a proxy[which took an idiot like me time to figure out]

usually that means something else on your end has changed. We haven't made any changes on our side.

BRIGGS... this is through your home environment, right? Not through a company? Sometimes companies will add blocking on their end randomly.

The Marbs defending Vick site forum is down or maybe Mr Earl said enough is enough on that site. I can't help it if I'm a Marbs fan.

Yeah. You should. This site has so many visitors, both regular posters and lurkers -- that it shouldn't require much from every individual to kick in a little and have it total out to a lot.

I think it's a good idea. I don't suppose the google ads are enough to cover it? Is there a co-location facility nearby? I've got a box in a colo for $100 a month. Of course, it is a rack-mount machine, which you probably don't have... You could also look at managed hosting.

I guess the first thing would be to find out how much it's going to cost & see if it's reasonable to expect that much in donations, then maybe setup a pay-pal account and ask for donations. Or sell UltimateKnicks T-shirts and caps or something like that.

Also, people who donate should get an icon and special powers on the board .

Martin,

Is your firewall blocking any ip address ranges? Maybe BRIGGS ip address is in one of those ranges.

I've never co-lo'ed before... what are the down sides to it? do you have a server and firewall or just server? We do have a rack-mountable server right now.

Yes, but of those, how many find it so valuable that they are willing to donate x dollars a year for it?
