I like the results too Bill!
Much faster and cleaner than MSN; a place of our 'own'. Who's providing space for this little soree anyway?

I went with the hosting company that houses three of my other domains - JaguarPC.
It's a bit of a risk; I've actually had good and bad luck with them. When I first signed up with them a little over a year ago, they were owned by somebody else, and things were pretty good. After they were acquired, they went through some growing pains; more frequent outages than I'd like to see, and they even lost some of my data once (not a big deal, as I can and do perform my own backups). For the last couple of months, they've been pretty darn good - very responsive when problems do crop up, and uptime and performance has been decent.
Still, I'm not the trusting type when it comes to these type of businesses - I've seen way too many ISP's go bad in a hurry. That being the case, nothing has been done here that couldn't be transferred to another provider in short order, should the situation warrant it. Hopefully, that won't be necessary, but it's good to be prepared.

Ok, so everyone's gonna blush and say 'aw shucks' and such...but, the cost of keeping this puppy rolling ought not to come out of any one person's pocket. Howzabout we have a general fund to take care of whatever crops up? A purely voluntary donation type thing; whatever isn't needed for the site can be used for the annaul SBS shindig or other get togethers.

I don't like that idea. I say whatever extra comes in, goes towards my new boat...
Seriously, it's just not that big of a deal, assuming we can get by on the service plan we started with. Mike and I are splitting it for the first year, let's just see how it goes.
I'll take a risk and speak for Mike, but I bet if you all buy our beer at SBS, we'll calll it a wash.
Pssst, Mike...we can come out WAY ahead on this one. Shhhhhh...

Very nice site guys. I like Les's idea of a general donation fund to help offset the cost be happy to contribute to it.

This format looks really promising! Thanks for setting it up. I was a member of the original C-Dory Owner's group for a long time, and got tired of MSN changing the appearance and format. It will be nice to have this stay consistent.
I wondered if the profile section will be expanded to give boat names and models? Or will that be something separate later?
I never set up an album on the old C-Brat's site, so how do I go about requesting one here? I finally completed my Force 10 stove installation, and will want to post a couple of pictures to the tech section too, when that is possible.
Thank you to those who made this new site possible, and who will be doing the work! The spell checker is neat too!
Claire, of the Cruiser Elbereth |
