Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
ADDED: CLICK HERE TO DONATE!
To all:
At a time when we all have more than enough to worry about in the world...
I have been informed, as of today, that the company that I used to be employed by no longer exists.
Why is this important to you?
A: Well, that company has been paying for all the servers each month which support Interference.com and Feedback. The server expensese are quite high, not because of the amount of space (MB) used, but the fact that Feedback itself is incredibly process intensive (meaning, it basically takes an entire machine of its own). As I do not profit from Interference/Feedback, it is not an option to spend this kind of money out of my own pocket.
I need to take action ASAP in some way or another in order to preserve the existance of the site and forum.
I'm uncomfortable with asking for donations to help keep the site running, but at this point I have to leave that as an option.
I am also interested to hear from anyone that may work for or own an isp/hosting company and may be able to help.
I'm really looking for suggestions and ideas, and to see what people are and are not willing to do to help support something that has always been free for them to use.
Sorry for the bad news... hopefully we can make it good news....
Please either reply to this thread, or email me privately (or both) at elvis@plot180.net
