OK Strkeetdot, I do agree with you, however, Changing the boards allows to to have more than 1 skin, allows us to implement modificatios, allows us to run the baords the way we want, not the way invisionfree wants us too. We don't even know how long we'll be able to use this, invisionfree is good to a certain extent, whereas invision powerboard is much powerfuller. If you have a PayPal account you can send money in any currency.

No pun E. Adept, but I'm with Strkeetdot in this...

1.) if it is such a hard URL to find, why has anybody heared of adding it to their favorite links? That's a bit of a "doh"-thing for me...

2.) what is right now the problem with this board? Although you are (indeed) restricted to a certain "policy" it still works fine, right? Okay, I'm not an admin so I can't judge that completely but what's the main difference in this change?
If you are really keen on implementations, other skins and so forth... ever heared of phpbb.com? To my knowledge it's about €1,50 to activate such a forum and you can do exactly what you are talking about...

I'm sure this is more of an issue for those of you on the upper echelons of our hierarchy, but it seems to me that Rattsu has the right idea at least in part, that no major changes should be made during a time in which everyones major concern is finding an opponent to devour... I mean play. Dev

1. I'm not paying.

2. I thought you said you would host it yourself.

3. My confidence is not high when the webmaster cannot provide a working link.

Come back after the SoC campaign with a working site which you host yourself and we will consider it.

Sorry dude.

I think that more council members in particular should support this donation. It would seem a little awkward if the leadership of the site didn't contribute when the members did. With 450 members it shouldn't take that much to raise 20 more dollars. Even if you just give a single dollar for the improvement, thats hardly breaking anyones bank.

The leadership of this site does a fantastic job and certainly devotes enough of their life already to the cause without having to contribute any sweet green ontop of it...however I think it would set a good example for everyone else. We're talking donate what you can find tucked into your couch.

This really is a "just do it" sort of thing. Unless some of you have had your eyes on a gumball you've been saving up for or something. :P

I don't find any need for a new Underempire site, domain, name, or anything related. this site is perfectly fine, we dont need a new one.

so why am i expected to pay for something i dont need.

if you set up a charity, id donate. thats a charity. that's me paying for someone else's needs because they can't. this is a guy who boasted he could do the new site both well and for free. im not going to judge if he did the new site well or not. but i sure as f*** arent going to pay for it. if he wants a new site that badly, he can go out and make $20 mowing lawns or washing cars. Even better, sell off some of his warhammer on ebay.

Is parting with a spare-change's worth of money really this big of a deal for people? I imagine it is for many people in this world, but not those who own warhammer armies. I waste little bits of money all the time on stuff I don't need...like a pack of gum, or a can of soda. I say a new site is worth a friggen dollar.

thats not the point. the whole principle of this is that

1) I dont pay for things i dont need.
2) I dont need a new site.
3) It is illogical for me to pay for it.

Well if you don't care about making the site better, then thats a fine line of reasoning. The site is good...if I can make it better by contributing a buck or two, I will. I think at least a few more people should feel that way too, because thats all we need.

Nilax please as screams is already set in his mind he doesnt want to send even a penny. and im sure even if you keep posting he still wont change his mind. all your doing in getting a pointless arguement. ;)


this isnt a must do it now thing, like i said it will get done eventually. just the method atm is what stuck.

being able to have our fluff in nice little folders or hosting pages like deathmaster mik's would be great. maybe adept could give a share the profits of part special deal underempire hosting to us. im sure some of you would like to be able to post your storys to like underempire.com/fluff or something...


as a sidenote:
while myself i trust adept. we should always keep this site even if its locked down just as somewhere to fall back as a backup for some unseen problem. like his server dies for a week or something. saying that i love a new url.

Sorry dude.

as it was presented to us, it was going to be no hassle, no fees, no worries. that's three strikes so far.

money's not the issue. the product isn't as advertised.

We could... only most of the council-members, as stated by phordicus, were really strucken to see what came out of this. A new site with a shine URL (if you can't remember the name, ADD IT TO YOUR FAVORITES!!!) is a nice thing indeed... But if Adept made his promises like that, he could have checked it better than pronouncing his "acts" so greatly.
I don't want to start a flame-war against him or whatso-ever, but he didn't gain my trust with that.

Fair enough, you see I wasn't here when this or that promise was made...I just came in after the project was finished. If I were expecting it to be free thats one thing, but if someone has worked to make this site better and needs a small bit of cash to pay for the improvements I'm just going to give it. When it comes to such small numbers I don't fervently weigh the pros and cons and rationally dissect the decision to contribute. I suppose its only fair to ask for proof that the thing works and is in good quality first, but I find it a bit disconcerning that people will say that they will flat out NOT pay a dime if the guy is working for all of us.

So far in this whole thing, Eshin Adept has been rather shady. When Asked for a link to his webserver, he couldn't provide one, he could only provide a link to a "friends".

When promised that we'd be getting our own server, we get this crap, when promised that it would be free and we now have to PAY FOR IT?!?!?!?

I honestly wouldn't send him ANY money! So far all he's been full of is empty promises and misinformation.

Adept, if you want to help, just redirect UnderEmpire.com to the above URL and call it good.

Thanks

Well from what I gather its free to make the site but it costs a bit to gain whatever extra features we'd acquire and be able to keep our posts (as opposed to starting to with a fresh, empty site as new members). He seemed pretty open about this...I mean I have no precedent for trusting/not trusting him so I might as well give him the benefit of the doubt. I doubt that he will use this money to buy a new box of stormvermin :D If the upgrade isn't very significant...oh well, its like I just gave him a few cans of soda from my fridge.
