Well, I wanted to edit this last post down a little, feeling it might be TMI for no good reason. Guess I kinda got caught up in memories then later on the point I wanted to make. Apologies for spewing too much but I hope that the owner finds a positive way of achieving his goals.

When the web started to make noise and people started it using it more and more, they slowly moved away from the BBSs and got onto the internet using slip/ppp. When that shift happened, I had about $100K dollars into my BBS at that point not counting many ancillary costs. While I could not sell...

>Thanks again. I don't think you get that we OWN our servers so I don't want to rent any. Of course I get that, I even suggested a possible use for them. I own dozens upon dozens of servers, blade chassis loaded with blades, you name it but I still rent when it's more economical to do it. >In...

I am not offering to host your site though I probably could put it on one of my lesser used servers and unless you are getting thousands of connections per second, it probably would not be a big deal. Or, I can put you in touch with a great data center where you can get a very powerful server...

But you are missing the point. I've not been here in almost two years and while there are less ads, there are still quite a lot. It's much better however but the point was more about your costs. I don't understand your costs based on having been in this business for many years and having built...

I wanted to offer my own thoughts and suggestions but the topic seems closed. When I first joined this site, it was nothing but frustrating because of the amount of ads. I've been running sites of all kinds since the 90's, had one that was costing me upwards of $5K/month in...

I don't understand all the notices about becoming a paid member to remove the ads. There are more ads on this site than I've ever seen on any other site, which must in itself generate SOME income. I own a small data center and also outsource hosting to huge data centers and hosting is dirt...
