The future of OTF

[Snake Plissken]

Just awaiting confirmation, but I think we are going for next Wednesday, 9th June.

Great work, Snake. Add me to the test list if there's anything I can do to help (that doesn't require skill, initiative, etc).

Same for me Snake Plissken.

Week of 7th June is pencilled in for the move. I'll probably PM people who've volunteered to test things over the weekend. If all goes well, downtime of 24 hours, most of which will be DNS related.

[Uncle Ethan]

Hit me up if volunteers needed on night shift. And what Sits said.

[Sits]

Hope you're feeling better Snake.

[Nocturnal Submission]

Happy to do some testing if required.

[Snake Plissken]

I've got a test setup up and running in Zen with a backup of OTF. Basically, I'm running through the install / transfer / restore process a few times so that I'm comfortable with it and can do it as reliably as possible.

Once I've got that nailed down, I'll ask for a couple of volunteers to do some testing.

Take care!

[Come along, Min]

So sorry to hear the news, looks like the start of something else though so good luck with that.

Are there any updates elsewhere as this thread appears to be flapping in the wind a bit?

[Antepli Ejderha]

Look after yourself Snake.

[CY_Boaby]

Cheers for the update Snake Plissken

You do a stunning job keeping this forum going so take care.

[Benjm]

Look after yourself, Snake. Your health and wellbeing are the priority. We aren't a major international football tournament.

[Snake Plissken]

No. We've been there by the grace of WSC for a while. We've been replaced by "Podcast" which is only reasonable.

Just as a timing update, I'm going to have to delay this by a couple of weeks as I've been too ill over the past month to spend much time on it.

[CY_Boaby]

I see the Forum has disappeared from the main WSC home page menu. Is this part of the moving process?

[anton pulisov]

Shared hosting option sounds right. Didn't realise that we are on a private server, agreed that it is overkill for a board of this size.

Thanks for going through all the options, very clear.

[RobM]

I'll be in when it comes to it if it helps to know.

[ale]

Count me in. With caveat about using Paypal based on personal experience.

[Various Artist]

Thanks Snake.

[Snake Plissken]

It will have gone to the general WSC hosting cost. I wouldn't call it irrelevant, as it is a contribution to the current hosting bill.

[Various Artist]

Snake, I chipped in ?25 last month when I realised I hadn't made a contribution for a while. Will that become irrelevant as and when a new board and funding model gets set up sometime soonish?


Also, some quality lurking from loosehandlebars and an absolutely outstanding biscuit choice, top class.

[gt3]

loosehandlebars welcome fellow Villa fan.

Snake, any more news on how this is going forward?

[caja-dglh]

What's that in American?

$3 probably.

[Gerontophile]

What's that in American?

[caja-dglh]

Can you give a ... generalisation of how much you would need per month, per head, sort of how some of us are paying for ChartMusic?

It is going to be a couple of quid a month each.
