Kurt / Steve,

Thanks for the offer. I will gladly take you all up on it. I will have to think about how to work a way to take donations. The board will be moving to my house after all I think. Jumpline has been a good provider, but we are outgrowing the reseller account and I would like to have the added functionality of running the server. Charlie and I talked about colocating the server, but if I will be responsible for the maintenence it will be easier and cheaper to keep it at the house. I have currently got a 384/384 line into the house for this purpose and a dedicated slackware server (linux variant). I do know a decent bit about linuix / and can defintely handle all the iterations of web stuff so this may be a good mix.

Anyway I'll keep you all posted as I walk down this somewhat frustrating path. Sorry to keep pushing back the dates etc...

Btw due to some requests I think the advertising will be going bye for now, we weren't making anything doing it, just providing some plugs for people charlie liked and thought were good etc, but since the adverts seem to cause some issues with resolution they will be stripped away from the next iteration.

If there is a graphic designer or graphics person in the bunch this is a good time to pitch design schemas around. There is nothing wrong with sticking with the standard PHP feel, however if you all want something more personalized I could handle that when the move over and new board is installed.

Anyway thanks again,
Geoffrey
