Hmm...you are all playing a cliché with your wives sitting on your purses, aren't you

I still had to give the server a manual nudge today, again straight after posting. I fear this might be something database related after all and then we're sort of screwed: migration is a pain the arse thing.

The good news: dr. A offered to help with that, so I think new database & VB switch might be in order soon.

I admit I have never donated money to our hosts (read : anar, PP) here, and maybe that's something I should finally do, even though my participation in the forum has sharply dropped recently. Kinda a thank-you for those 2 years already spent here. But I have no clue how to deal with that PayPal thingie ; can anyone tell me how to do that ? Or maybe I'll wait for a future CDZ weekend, but this is not in any plan at the moment. Oh, vB I smell. Could make me donate quicker.

Krys, you should be able to use PayPal without being a PayPal memeber. Fill in your details and send the transaction. They use a secure server, so it should be fairly secure.

I have yet to have any trouble (except for forgetting my pw) with PayPal.

I see there has been massive spamming last week. Yesterday late in the evening the site was down for me, so I am relieved that it's working now. At least, sort of. Thumbs up.

The site was down for me at around 8 o'clock last night. It worked again at 9, IIRC...

Claimed all remaining CDZ domain names. Should get a confirmation on that today. Will keep you posted on developments.

Does that include civ3duelzone.com btw?

ProPain · 08-04-2006, 19:37

Sadly no, that's still held by anarres so I cant claim that. After harrassing the ISP on the phone the promised to mail me a quote last friday, obviously it hasnt arrived yet. They're idiots.

Will try to move the sit to another domain tomorrow. Off to friends for diner now
