If we are using Free, how come there are so many people here?

* GMH
* Longfellow
* INUH
* Funnyguts
* Khwarizmi
* Vorpy
* Myrmidon
* Dyre
* Ponicalica
* FrodoGoofballCoTV

That's more than 10 people right there.

Do they mean only 10 people online at a time, or something else? Perhaps this is a paid plain?

    I think 10 online means 10 can be active at once.

    Has anyone experienced cockblocking service denial from the site for having too many people on?

    Not me.

    Maybe Vanilla just fails at counting?

    It's based on the average number of users connected at the same time (that is, people who are online) over the past 7 days.  They don't cancel service or anything, but they'll pester Longfellow about upgrading.


    Perhaps you guys should learn to read.

    We should just find someone to host the stuff.

    I could hit up my Mystery Hunt web-buddy about this, but I'm not sure whether he (or his friend who hosts some stuff for him) has the bandwidth for a rather active, even if small, site like this.

    Hm. So in theory, even the most active possible person could only count as two-thirds of a person, assuming reasonably normal sleep.

    a little birdie told me my name was said here indirectly.  I actually wouldn't mind hosting here on a friend's server, if you all were up for that. I've setup one of this kind of board before, I can do it again :p

    No, I didn't use Twitter; I used IRC.

    then you used an ascii representation of a bird, possibly one of these: http://www.skye4birds.com/ascii.htm

    also I don't have a twitter anyway :P

    I really like the idea actually, enough that I bought the domain. I can connect it (is that the right verb? This web-hosting stuff's above my head) to your server whenever you guys are ready.
  • RinKokonoeRinKokonoe
    How did you buy the domain, and from who?
  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey
    Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    ...there's someone here with the money to actually buy a domain name?

    Also, can we export the forum--posts, member accounts, and all--to a new site?

    I went to name.com, one of the lower-priced of those domain registry websites (that I could find, at least).

    I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to export the forums hosted on Vanilla Forums. Seems like no. (The Vanilla software allows for it but the process seems to involve saving a file in a directory, which is above my control)

    Try asking on the vanillaforums.org support boards.

    In terms of web hosting, I've heard good things about https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/

    And Longfellow can definitely use the same software, Vanilla, on any hosted website he creates, since Vanilla is open-source.  (He'll also have more freedom.)

    Unknown_Entity has his own hosting.

    ☭Unstoppable Sex Goddess☭
    Own hosting? As in a server connected to the internet you can host your own domains on?
