Bandwidth problems and finances

kj · 1st June 2002, 02:54 AM

Ok, the inevitable has happened. The cost of running the site has increased with all the increased traffic the site has been getting. From now on, any bands requesting a forum will have to pay a sum of £15 for the entire year. This will cover band width costs for their forum for a whole year. This doesnt effect bands who already have forums. However, if your forum isnt performing very well, for example, getting less than 10 posts a week, i'll have to take them down as they are adding unnecessary bandwidth usage to the over all forums and it isnt fair on the other bands either. It's only fair.

We are also doing other things, one suggestion from a member was that if people want to mess around with other bands forums, then it will be something along the lines off...

£2 Changing background colour of a forum for a week</li>
£2 Changing a forum member's member status for a month</li>
£2 For changing the intro on the main page of a band forum for a week</li>
£4 To place an advert on the forum's main page, at the top for a 2 weeks.
</li>
