::::::::::Ty for the stas. Its worth noting that many big sites get a considerable discount on hosting fees by having a banner or a link of some sorts to the hosting provider. Perhaps this is another avenue to explore. Maybe im just a bit anti-wikia im not sure, but i really think its a last case scenario to move there. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 08:19, 9 August 2006 (CDT) | ::::::::::Ty for the stas.

::::::::::Also looking at the prices Joe has stated the Wiki can immediatly save some cash byu moving domain registrars. I only pay $8.88 a year for my domains which would bring total name expendature to $26.64 instead of $45 (Saving of $18.36). --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 08:21, 9 August 2006 (CDT) | ::::::::::Also looking at the prices Joe has stated the Wiki can immediatly save some cash byu moving domain registrars.

I am in agreement with Mercifull and SteelViper: MedivaBlvd sounds nice, but (while I don't want to burn bridges just yet) I think we should hold off on Wikia. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 08:24, 9 August 2006 (CDT) | I am in agreement with Mercifull and SteelViper: MedivaBlvd sounds nice, but (while I don't want to burn bridges just yet) I think we should hold off on Wikia. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 08:24, 9 August 2006 (CDT) | ||
:I agree as well. We should only resort to advertising as a last resort, and I would also hope we could retain control over that aspect of the site. The Mediablvd offer seems nice, would help defray hosting costs, and doesn't involve any sacrifice in control on our part or Joe's. Wikia should be avoided except as a last resort. Joe, would you consider organizing a fundraiser to be displayed on the sitenotice? I think we could probably raise enough money to cover hosting costs. --[[User: | :I agree as well.

Ok, i've looked at the Finances you have given for the hosting of the site and only by glancing i can save almost $20 immediatly. If you could give some specifications that the server needs, filespace and bandwidth usage I will be able to do some research into cheaper alternatives. Also do you know the average number of unique hits per month to the Wiki? I was looking at the stats pages but it only shows page views and they arnt unique. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 08:34, 9 August 2006 (CDT) | Ok, i've looked at the Finances you have given for the hosting of the site and only by glancing i can save almost $20 immediatly.
