I just got a notice from the web host that 2gnt.com is greatly exceeding our space allotment (400+MB vs 100MB allowed).
They are demanding either an upgrade to a higher priced package, or the files over the limit be removed.
I cannot afford to pay myself the $70/mo fee to upgrade without a service interruption.
So, the choices are:
1) I delete ALL Archives and threads older than a month.
2) The Moderators and I delete all out of date or unneeded posts. This would be a LOT of work, and may not get us under the limit anyways without losing valuable content.
3) We get sufficient donations to support the new rate.
I can move the site to another cheaper host, but this will not be immediate, and I have no idea yet how to migrate the board without losing anything.
I can only think that we will have to pay the extra cost to keep things running here.
That said, and if you agree, please consider making a donation to the site. I really hate having to do this, but I don't see any other viable alternatives right now. Feel free to send in whatever you consider a fair contribution.
PayPal (www.paypal.com) would be the best and fastest approach (send to juan@2gnt.com). Also, when you sign up for an account you get a free $5 credit. If enough people do this, we might be ok for the next 3 months.
Otherwise, send a cheque for whatever amount to
Team 2GNT
PO Box 9171,
Redands, CA 92375
I will create a page showing your name and amount sent (if you wish) to show that you helped out the club.
Please know that this is not a "money-grab" or anything. Those who know me know that I am a solid and trustworthy person, and am not the type to pull crap like that. It is either this, or the forum goes down for an indefinite time period.
Thanks, and once again my deepest apologies for this situation. I honestly had no warning our usage was that high.

Dear 2gnt.com:
Your files are taking up almost 400MB of space on our server and your account allows for only 100MB. We must ask that you either reduce your file space to your account size or upgrade your account immediately.
Because of your file size, you would need to upgrade to our Gold account. Please click here to see further details: http://nexx.com/solutions_nt.shtml. Check out the size of the Silver package as well.
We ask that this be taken care of by Tuesday, July 24. Thank you very much
