How do you guys pay for this site

Duplicate Stinger · Oct 6th 2005

We have fans of the Lancers series to thank . That and a lot of personal time and effort put forth by individuals that care about the content of this site. Money wise....well letÂ´s just say indeed it does cost a lot to host this site and the bandwidth it uses. ItÂ´s no real secret who is hosting (never really was). We like it the way things are now and try not to thrust anyone into the limelight per their personal wishes. Respectfully we can all live with that. Suffice to say the Lancers Reactor and itÂ´s presense on the web is enjoyed by most and the community pays for it by their participation in making this site what it is. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Rob "Stinger" Lordier You like poems? --> <A href=Â´http://www.voicesnet.comÂ´ Target=_Blank> Voicesnet.com </a> Creator of the original <A href=Â´http://solutions.h1.ru/faq/privater.shtmlÂ´ Target=_Blank> Privateer FAQ </a> old Favorite saying - No good deed goes unpunished

Either way, new people donÂ´t register or lurk to only post a comment about a host... more like a "regular" hiding behind a new name for some strange reason. What do you fear? Pathetic is the way I would describe it, but IÂ´ve always been outspoken in what i think. Edited by - Chips on 10/9/2005 11:48:46 AM

"ItÂ´s no real secret who is hosting (never really was)." Well, if itÂ´s never been a secret who hosts the site, then what harm could there possibly be answering the original posterÂ´s question?

Chips · Oct 9th 2005

Erm, it was - and here it is again... <BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>IÂ´m just wondering how do you guys pay for this site i mean it has to cost quite a bit cause of how big it is? <hr size=1 noshade></BLOCKQUOTE> We donÂ´t pay anything <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> However, Stinger already clarified why we donÂ´t go around screaming it out to whomever who asks - because they have requested it wasnÂ´t. We respect that request, and we would ask you to also respect the request. To change things, there is a donation button on the main page. Feel free to use it.

Feel free to use it. <hr size=1 noshade></BLOCKQUOTE> DonÂ´t quote stuff out of context, try reading for once instead! Basically I was referring to the fact that if you have a problem with the host, then the way to get it changed is to donate so that it pays for the site. I didnÂ´t expect to have to spell it out though... sorry.

Yes, we do have a generous host, however we also have to pay for certain things ourselves. Like additional hardware for the server, additional software and of course the domain and such. ______________________________ Eraser Webmaster of <A href=Â´http://www.lancersreactor.orgÂ´ Target=_Blank>The Lancers Reactor</a> E-Mail: eraser@lancersreactor.org MSN: eraser@lancersreactor.org <img src=Â´http://www.lancersreactor.org/t/i/lan_butt.gif Â´>
