I prepared this before seeing the posting from atom himself above but I'll still post it to show what has been going on / discussed this day. I'm assuming that's okay with you atom? Latest update on the situation with the soulclub.org website Atom (the owner of soulclub.org) was asked what the problem was...his reply...... "Hardware failure. The server is old and requires expensive upgrades. This sucker is expensive to run and I'm not sure I'm still motivated" Further to that comment, atom also said, "May have it back up and limping some time this coming week" I then asked him, "What kind of money are you talking about? Only, there's loads of people out there who love your website. I'm sure a good few would be willing to stump up some money to help you out. If it's just the lack of motivation that's stopping you from continuing with it, is there any possibility of transferring the whole thing to somebody else that might like to take over the reigns. There could be people here in the UK that might be willing to do that" To which he replied, "A new complete server is about $1000 or about 580 quid. Donations would be great. I've run the server FOC for years without ever asking for donations and I even feel a bit guilty now ... even though the server collocation and hardware replacements are never free" So, what can WE do to help and how would we go about it? Indeed, are there enough people out there willing to stump up donations? Soul Girl, does anybody come forward with donations to your site? Looks like the ball has been left firmly in our court. Interestingly, atom didn't respond to, "If it's just the lack of motivation that's stopping you from continuing with it, is there any possibility of transferring the whole thing to somebody else that might like to take over the reigns" Okay, atom's reply to the question, "If it's just the lack of motivation that's stopping you from continuing with it, is there any possibility of transferring the whole thing to somebody else that might like to take over the reigns" was, "I don't see anyone volunteering to spend $1000 ... the server will still need replacing" I guess he's right. So, do we have anybody amongst us willing to volunteer to spend $1000 and take over atom's most valuable endeavour? Let's hear all your comments??? We've had one already from Marc Forrest. I would give him $10, no problem. Sounds like Marc would too. What about the rest of you?
