Exactly !
Can someone pm me when things have improved ,
Until then , thank you all and goodbye .....    :'(

Come on guys, you can't be serious, can you? It will do some of us some good to be off the computers for a while. Even if it means a drop in post counts.
    Let's stop complaining about such a good forum that costs us nothing.

Continually having all of the above, and have a look at the post count dropping every day, people will leave and not come back, pity

You mean I should just continue to accept hitting the button at least a dozen times hoping I don't get " Connection Problems " for each topic I wish to read ( or reply to ) .. You are the one that can't be serious !
Anyway , I don't have any friends or life outside My Swag , in fact it probably saved me last year when I lost my job as well .
And the subject of " it doesn't cost us anything " ... well I think that has been covered plenty about how people want to contribute $$'s .

But if you're not here...how will you see your PM???  :P   ;D

Um ... you get an email notification ....

Yeah why not? Or if it doesn't work the first just go and do something else. It's not the end of the world if the forum crashes.

Hi Guys,
I think, yep I do have a moment every now and then, and sometimes it can scare the crap out of those around me  ;D
MySwag is having some growing pains, we will all live through it  :D
Lets not turn on each other, sure we all have a different opinion on how things should be but, the world wont end.
Hey, do as we did this weekend, we went to somewhere new, a little further than we would usually go and I broke a few bits in the scrub, I stepped outside my comfort zone and it was great.
I will post up a trip report in a few days  ;D
One of my favorite quotes is,
Get outside every day, Miracles are waiting everywhere.
 :cheers:

Heck I just had a divil of a time getting the Sept POTM voting post to post up....what an epic that was but!! it is up so get voting!!!

C'mon mods, this is now worse than my dialup of 10 years ago :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
There have been offers of financial help and technical help from lots of members, :cup: including me
but in return I have seen nothing so much as an acknowledgment these offers of help  ??? ??? ???
So at the risk of being banned from "myswag" I am now having an official   WHINGE about the forum performance, tonight it is pathetic at best.

Here is a quick update.

www.myswag.org is moving to Australia!

Now with this news comes a substancial ongoing cost of over $2k per year. Now we have had many offers of cheaper (VPS) shared server options that have been very appreciated but with over 50GB hosted and 250GB in bandwidth no shared server is going to give us the room we need to grow compared to our very own dedicated server. But once again thank you for your offers.

In the past, we have covered costs via the sale of merchandise but we don't make anywhere near enough to cover the new server costs. So to take up on the offers for financial support we will have a paypal option up soon to help cover the new server or in the mean time you can email orders.at.myswag.org  (replace .at. with @) with the amount you wish to help out with and we will invoice you with payment details.

As for a migration date, we are looking towards the end of next week or early the week after if all goes to plan. But we will keep you posted.

I'm suggesting a ratio of 1 cent per post in your post count, that should well and truly cover it.
