Hey Sean, remember that time we ran ad banners and made a couple thousand dollars, and then the ad company turned into a charity overnight and gave it all away to starving children or something? Wasn't that funny?

Is GoMMeR even still alive?

Please note a few things, everyone. Over 80% (I think over 90%) of the broswers of EoFF use IE, and only 35% of the page downloads are from the forums, and we're here to suit the masses, not to ask the masses to change what they use to suit us. As for advertising, I'm sure Cid will be going about that without heading off to random unreccomended companies.

As for the 'renewed' board thing - we aren't 'renewing' the board. We're just doing a prune. Otherwise, EoFF shouldn't be down for that long at all.

We've done a crapload of research and discussion on all of this, and we have lots of backups as well, so it shouldn't be much trouble at all.

You're the ones whose time and effort and money have made the site possible; you're providing a huge amount of information to the world, for free. They should cater to you, not you to them. It'd be different if they were paying YOU. But if you choose to change to suit them instead, it's your right of course.

Although we've not yet tested the speed of the new host, obviously, let's just say that every single thing is either the same or better. We're only gaining by doing this move. I'd say the only thing we're losing at all is emails, which is sad, but unfortunately these things happen. =[

[Burtsplurt]

Just to say good luck with it all. Erm, good luck.

Sean should put an ad for Mozilla/Firebird on the main site at the bottom or something
