im sick of this site not loading , tried making a donation but cant no one knows how too ATM. Just gettin rediculous now

[Basti]

the problem is being fixed mate. some patience wont kill you

[Rekin]

Donations are disabled at present, have been since last year due to other issues we were having with the entire system

Will be fixed shortly, it's my next "to-do" item!

Perhaps pranks paypal email posted in here for the people who would like to donate. Then they could easily PM for a member tag etc

And when 200 users do that?

Impossible to administer. Has to be simplified before we reinstate it, the old method was just to messy.

Guys, I am begging for patience. The new server is being provisioned as I write this and I have started a 100GB sync of SAU to Amazon's S3 for backup (and static serving while we wait for stuff to copy to the new Aus server).

Wont be long guys.

Re donations - Waiting to hear from SAU's accountant about this, seems I can't legally accept donations unless I am registered as 'not for profit'. So, will likely set up some form of cheap 'subscription' service in the not too distant future.

Thanks guys.

I'm impressed at the patience YOU show Prank! Doing all this, free of charge and having people jsut bitch and complain about it and you beg?!

You're a far more patient person then me

Have you thought about or discussed leaning on the state clubs a little bit, either sending donations through them (we are not for profit organisations) or asking for donations from the clubs?

Just drop half a K of blow on his desk, works wonders

Seems the site is ok as of late. No real dramas with loading or log ins.

I recommend all the people complaining about the lag to please donate money to SAU. Australian servers cost a lot more than american servers and thats the only solution to get everyone quick page loads.

Open up your wallets people! Barely anyone who posted in here have a 'donated' tag under their avatar.

IM sure if there was a specific thread made up in the general section and then spammed to everyones email address advising that donations could be made to better the site i reckon you could buy 5 servers (or gizzmos that makes thing better) i have NFI on the

intricacies of forum goodness

might be worth a shot if money is the the only hold back?

[R31Nismoid]

Money was a problem, however over the past 6 months Blitz & Myself have sought to fix that issue.

Now it has been turned around for the good - Christian is now able to move us back to home shores and other things that need attention.

i just want to clarify that i wasn't complaining about the issues i was having, just letting you know what was happening. and it seems to be running good at the moment. i think it only had 1 issue yesterday morning and has been good since.

[PranK]

Server is ready. Move starts tonight!!

[PranK]

Site will be a bit slow for the next day or so. We're transfering the 100GB gallery atm and also replicating the db to the new server.

Aiming to switch it over tomorrow night if we have enough of the transfer done.

GJ. About time SAU was back in AUS

Not bad, shaved heaps of the latency
