Ill be giving Nabiki 2 micro pc’s to host CoG, so hopefully that will help out and reduce funding needs. But i wouldn’t mind throwing a fiver or tenner her way when it comes to renewals each year.

We’re now on month-to-month funding, which is fine, but would definitely like to get something done by the end of January if possible. I’m happy to paypal the cost of a year of AWS hosting to anyone who wants—I just can’t be the one doing the hosting or having any account-level access to it.

Okay, I have come to the conclusion that I am not good enough with Linux to create this from scratch. I have decided to go with hosted through Discourse.

The basic plan with 100 members is only $25/month for the first year, so I’m going to set that up now.

PM me if you’d like to donate to the cause, and I’ll send you my PayPal info. It won’t take much to migrate.

I used a backup that was a couple days old to get stuff over, so we’re missing a bit, but the old stuff is all here!

Are you planning to get the latest backup or will this be the ongoing forums now?

It’s all about me of course, because my holiday thread isn’t here :laughing:
That’s not a problem of course, I can re-create it, I just want to know if I need to.

Yeah, you should recreate it. I could do another backup, but then I’d have to redo all of my formatting and branding.

Works now! :sunglasses:

I’m not sure. Let me look.

I broke the old CoG forums, but luckily I was able to fix it.

Something got broken here as well… Refer to attached screenshot :

I’m trying to change the “like” reaction from heart to thumbs up. The heart should be for “love” reaction.

Ahhh ok. You will be successful.
