LAG coming back soon!

[Brit-chan]

Okay, I signed up LAG on a new hosting company. It will be $4.99/mo. which isn't bad at all. I'll be getting the data for LAG from Quentin soon and once everything is all settled, old LAG should be back and running sometime this week.

Anyway, if we could raise up around $120 that should cover me for two years (the hosting service has a two year contract). For right now we are ok, because I am just using one of my credit cards and I think I get something like 3 months or 12 months free (i am a little confused about it right now, cause it initially said 12 months but then it said something like 3 months when i looked at the order...). Plus we get two free domain names, so I'll be transferring the louisianaanime.com, .net, and .org to the new hosting service.

However I'll probably have to pay for the third one, which I believe is only like $8. So no biggie there.


Anyway, I will keep y'all posted on what's going on and when I'll have the new LAG up and running!

And whenever you can donate a few extra dollars, please do so! You can donate how much you want, even if it's a dollar, there is no set amount when you do it through paypal!

Ok, so Quentin forgot to leave the disc that has LAG backed up on it...So i can't get LAG back up and running until he comes into Lafayette next or something.

Unless anyone else has any suggestions, I could either A.) wait on Quentin for the back up data or B.) Figure out how to create a new phpbb forum and start from scratch until we get the back up CD.

Suggestions?

Btw, check out the ChipIn I made for the LAG! Unfortunately, it doesn't show kat's contribution because i made it after she donated. :( But the ChipIn goes through Paypal so it's the same as clicking the paypal button. However this is a nice widget to spread around to people who might not realize we are doing this for the LAG. So let them know by clicking on the link!

Brit Chan just wait for the disk since it doesnt seem like anyone around us is really in a rush to have it back. I was thinking though what about a LAG party to get people back in the mind frame of why we all <3 LAG in the first place.

i was thinking about just waiting for the disc too, but I wanted to get it all up and running since I already paid for everything. Also, I want to get it done before school starts since i have a lot more free time right now compared to when i'm in school. :/ Plus i dunno when Quentin is gunna be back and i feel like the quicker it gets up, the better. No one is posting here and that's kind of frustrating too because I have no idea if people know that I already got the hosting and domain names or anything. Plus i was thinking it'd be fun to make a LAGChan like we did so long ago.

It's not that I'm in a rush, it's just that, the longer we go without LAG and without people knowing about us getting it back up, the less people will come back. It's how blogs die. If they stop updating for months and then suddenly decide they wanna come back, their readership will have dropped significantly.

Anyway...that's just my rant. I was all "yay" cause i was gunna get LAG back up but then i had to be all "boo" when quentin forgot to leave the disc. ><<br />
