downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 A website runs of a computer. This computer is called a server. Normally, this server has a good 40/50 other people on it, and you simply get a "shared" hosting account.Basically what trials-forum has done is bought their own server. They have complete reign over the server and can use it for what ever means they please. It also means they aren't bound by any hosting provider rules, but more so, they have all the resources of the server to themselves, and as trials-forum has gotten so big, it uses a lot.means alot to me **Goes back to just posting** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmt_oli Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) We should be just about breaking even if things go as planned.Thought of setting up a voluntary donations thingy, just a link to paypal or something. i know it wont be much, but if a few people put a couple of quid in it might help out.Im on another forum that are trying to raise £500 for a 2nd server, as they keep crashing thier dedicated one lol- athough they do have a lot more users than here. There 70% there already, and have only been asking for a few weeks.Also- If it hasnt been noticed, the 'contact' and 'guidelines' links at the top of the forum are not working!

You are in a house. There are 4 kids. There are 4 rooms. 4 in one with one empty one. Your shit is held in the same place as everyone elses, and so it means that it's harder to do stuff there, and means stuff is more likely to be f**ked up. You move your stuff into your own room, and it means you've got more room to maneuvre, you're in charge of what happens where, and you have more control of your 'room'. Get it yet?

tomturd Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 does thie mean we can talk about dodgy porn and warez now?Nope Cos theres plenty of porn about (and theres minors who use the forum) on the internet and owning a server doesnt make warez legal either. So they shall remain banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
