Sorry about that, folks. I, um, forgot to pay our web host and they quite naturally took the site down until I did. Carry on.

Wait, you're paying for this? I never knew that! Is it costly? Can we help with costs?

I think we should be able to, but LJ so far hasn't listened to a word about it. A bake sale would cover it easily.

Woah. I have … no idea why that posted three times. LJ, I suppose, is just really funny.

Haha. I never said much because it's not terribly expensive...I just added up costs for the last 12 months, and it comes to around $27: $9.49 for the domain name, $5.72 for the storage, a little over $4 for the bandwidth, and $8 in other fees. Not going to bankrupt me anytime soon.
I mean, if people want to chip in or something I guess they can...but it's not a big deal, and I'm happy keeping the forum up regardless.
Though, I did just fix an issue that was keeping pretty much any bots from crawling our site (this is why we didn't show up in Google, for instance), so those bandwidth numbers will change. It remains to be seen how much, though. I also may be moving to a new web host, which could be even a little cheaper, but if so the switch should be painless.

Haha, I actually had no idea that LJ was the sole supporter of the Board Board until I read this...$27 a year isn't especially expensive, so please, nobody feel obligated to do anything, but it sounded like a few of you wanted to help out. If you'd like to, but LJ is too nice to take your money, PM me and we'll work something out (since it's all going to the same bank account anyway).

Like. In so many ways.
