Simon Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Moan if you will.. How much bandwidth was TS using up? and how much was this roughly costing? I was just wondering... Be a shame to see it go. Cheers for all your work :shifty: ← I was allowed 1200GB a month. It normally used that up before the end of the month. If i was allowed to go over, or just let it run over, it would easily be up to 3000GB a month. Its costing between £62 and £67, depending on the exchange rate. The new server is somewhat more then this. No has even bothered to reply, let alone offer sponsorship, so it don't look like its happening im afraid. 6 days left.

raimund-aut Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 I don't know if you succeed in finding sponsors for a new server, but I would like to thank you anyway. Thanks :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Jones Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 May sound nerve racking Si, but like I said not so long ago to you, why not ring the people directly? Especially Animal? THE Worldwide Freeride giants may take an interest? If you dont see it as doable, dont worry dude. Your money, do what you want, and do what Lee said, spend money on YOU :shifty: Ive pretty much sorted a host for my videos... not cheap, but not as expensive as TS was. Just about enough b/w for a month at a time of TM videos... here's hoping anyway! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunkey_monkey_boy Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Guess it shows how tight or unintersted Koxx are in their market, probably couldnt see it as an investment and a MASSIVE marketing tool. ← i don't think anyone could have said it better! those were my excact thoughts, how come a company who must sell thousands of frames and alot of top riders can't find a bit of cash to back a grass routes nesecity like this? i'm off to foward this to fred savage in the hope he'll pass it on to koxx fr and they'll realise how tight fisted their being...

Would you pay £60 a month for some random file sharing server in France to let french people download videos? :shifty: It may seem like not much money for a company, but its still £60 which they don't NEED to spend.. Maybe contacting Fred directly would be a better idea. Also picking up the phone is a better idea, but to be honest I wouldnt really have had the guts to do that a couple of years ago. If your still stuck in a few days Si, chat to me on MSN and ill have a look at the TF accounts and see if we can sort anything out? :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 It's just business though isn't it? Would it really make Koxx sell any more frames? The very fact that we are all talking about them here without any adverts anywhere really suggests that they don't need the publicity...

Mark W Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 It's all about public perception though. For example, KoxxUK support Trials-Shack, people think "hmm, good. Koxx are supporting them/doing something to help trials, other than sell on stuff." (Even though that'd be their motive, but you get hwat I mean (Y)) Other companies, not naming any names (Y) , just rebadge parts, sell them on for more, and that's it. This kinda shady business tactic means that their public perception goes down, so people are less likely to buy their next copied product. So it would help in some ways, but I guess Koxx.fr weren't the people to talk to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame you can't charge them. ← yer the best thing zoo ever did was to sign CLS advertising wise. t-s are hosting there his vids aswell as his own site so then surely that is some mega free advertising. takes the piss a bit really.

Simon Posted June 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Well, nothing to say really. No one liked my idea, and the people that did offer, didn't meet the criteria i had set out. I just hope its helped some people in the 11 months it had. Everything will now redirect to the trials-shack good-bye page, which has thank you's, along with information regarding everything. Thank you for your time, and your custom. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Hopefully, one day Trials-Shack will return, with proper backing, and then v3 can be finished and released, at which point, v1/v2 may be open sourced. Same goes with any other bits of information relating to Trials-Shack.Here's hoping :- Anyway, cheers for everything you've done for us ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
