updated the chat area, the bot RedRover has returned to keep you amused when you are there...
i need to tweak the settings so he only talks when there are only a few in there...
also updated the downloads links section which is offline at present.

The time has come... i can avoid it no longer....
The site has grown to the stage where it is once again outgrowing the server hardware etc it sits on.
The next step costs big bucks i simply cannot afford on my own.
so i have the following choices as i see it.
limit the services available and the number of users that can be online at any time ( i have limited it to 75 this morning till i work out what i can do) and severly limit what unregistered users can see.
or
move to a subscription service, which will achieve the second part of the first option in a flash and negate the need to upgrade services....
or
spend the money on a dedicated server and rack access
this option will cost close to $2000 up front and about $2400 per year.
i simply cannot afford that on the money i make.
or
let it die...
i have limited the number of people who can be online at one time to 75 in the hope that that will keep the place stable till i can sort what the next step is...
my apologies for the inconvenience.

I'd say first of all if you have it that non-registered/guests can see the home page only with a list of the latest posts but nothing else without registering is one step.
Secondly i personally think you'd lose a lot going to a subscription service as i feel people would be reluctant to join if they haven't seen what it is.
Thirdly maybe time to find some serious sponsorship to try for the upgrade... or even god forbid a naming rights sponsor

going to subscription would not work imho, i just listed it as an option...

problem with subscription though is as you've mentioned most landy owners are tight asses and would probably just move to a different LR forum rather than pay.
Might be the sort of thing to post a poll on maybe to guage a response...
