Renew hosting for 2018. It will expire in 30 days!
« on: »
Hello fellow TorchModders.



Our server hosting will expire in 30 days and we need to renew the service to continue this forum and website. I know I should have set up system for continues donations with monthly goals etc, but I keep forgetting to do this, so here we are again with a months notice... I'm sorry.  :-[

The hosting fee is pretty expensive. The total cost is 155.40 EUR for 12 months. I can not make this payment this time. I have no chance of doing so with my current economy.

I am willing to transfer the domain torchmodders.com to someone else, if there's anyone is up for the task of hosting us. I will provide all the help I can with copying over the forums, wiki, etc.

You can donate to my PayPal here:
Go to paypal.me/wolven and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it
paypal.me
but I think we should discuss alternative options too.

Yeah, your EU hosting is very expensive.

Which plan did you choose? How much does this Torchmodders project require?
Сan we search for cheaper offers, for example in Asia?

We're on the tier 2 plan. It's possible to downgrade the plan, this will shave off the cost a little bit. Down to around 100 EUR or so. I've done this in the past and it's enough for our needs.

We can look around for another host and see if we can cut the cost. I've looked at this before though and not really found anyone I've been satisfied with, feature and service wise, but i'm open for suggestions.

I'm sure we can manage fund this though, if we all chip in a bit, and if I downgrade the plan.

And I still think that we need to make a donation purse and a counter. I'm not sure that there are many who want to do this, but it's better than nothing.

@Wolven found a donation bot we can use on discord which I have added already in the torchmodders discord here (short-URL to discord channel:
Discord is great for playing games and chilling with friends, or even building a worldwide community. Customize your own space to talk, play, and hang out.
Discord · bit.ly
).

I used it already and it works well.  Am looking for a way to know who donated so we can somehow give a little recognition ;)

Yeah, life is changing. Now the attitude towards donations is changing. 10 years ago, to donate money to streamers was a new thing, now it's the norm.

I sent a paypal. You should have received it by now.

Let me know if you haven't.

Wolven, what do you think about a little monetization? Google AdSense?

@Wolven:

I went ahead and kicked some funds your way. 

Not nearly enough, but does not every bit count?
I am off to Tamriel, seeking new adventures, great and small.  One day, I might return to Novastraia and show what I have learned.

I have considered this. If we can be ad free that would be nice, but it is certainly an option. I'm leaning more towards your other idea of having a donation counter displayed and have a yearly goal to cover our needs.

Thank you very much Nyriox. Very generous of you. It helps a lot, my friend.

We have a total of $90 in donations now. So we're about halfway there.  :)
