Help Needed/Wanted for 5AF
Hey All,
I'm going to need some assistance. I know, given the issues with the board from a tech standpoint, I have even less time than before. Is there anyone out there who'd want to be a technical moderator to help get the things needed that the group obviously wants and talks about for the entirety of the year?
Secondly - the board renew is coming up, abd Bluehost has jacked up the prices like 10X on me. I paid $167 last year, I'm not being told I need to pay $687.
I'm actively dodinting at Bluehost right now - but I'm kind of at a crossroads here. I never would have asked in the past, and have carried it just fine since - but I'm not interested in paying that much money on a yearly basis. More to come on that.

Obvious question, but are we open to considering a new provider? Either way, I'll contribute.

10000% yes. That's why I'd want help from a technical person. I'd move immediately. I'm checking into Namecheap now, if they can lift and shift.Obvious question, but are we open to considering a new provider? Either way, I'll contribute.

Oops, didn't see the new thread.
I asked about contributing financially almost as soon as I joined 8 (!) years ago. Absolutely count me in for a few beans.

I'll provide details if needed. I'm trying to get a final cost of what it will take. I'm also looking into wholesale moving.

I can't help with the technical stuff, but I can throw in some cash.

Do I get a cool perk, like avatars or something that shows i am better than others?
Help Needed/Wanted for 5AF
Haha, yeah I think the most common asks from most of us are probably 1) avatars, and 2) quote attributions.
I'm still happy to contribute to the upkeep of the place, but if you're making a wholesale infrastructure change, anyway.............

any info on technical details?
I’m in software engineering and I’d be happy to assist technically. Never really knew how phpBB forums operate behind the scenes but I’m sure it’s something I can figure out

I work in tech and can pretend I know what I am doing. I just will create a ticket like I do in my day to day.

It's a phpbb website, it's not that complicated - it's probably outdated and antiquated. I'm honestly interested in just getting away from this board design completely and find a new forum to build.any info on technical details?

If someone can sign up to be an admin that knows technical with me, all bets are off. I would defer those technical limitations to the other mod.If we donate do we get avatars?

You devs cool with 90-minute meeting invites with no set goals, discussion points, or materials at 5:30 pm ET on Fridays...?

Since I didn't hear any protests, I'll send out the meeting invites with "allow new time proposals" unchecked...

So the final bill to renew for a year - for the services this site needs is 579.69/year.
My next step, is moving away complete from Bluehost during that year. If that means taking on a new forum tech all together - that's fine.
We might lose a lot of our post history, but it might be vital to do that.

Don’t forget unnecessary “status update” meetings that can be replaced by just looking at a jira dashboard and take time away from the devs actually doing their workOoh, shotgun Project Manager!

All of my posts have been gold. Losing them devalues my innumerable contributions.

That's legit the only thing that holds me back. I know if moving the board - people do leave over historical stuff.All of my posts have been gold. Losing them devalues my innumerable contributions.

As long as the version that works best displays things in a black and gold motif. haha
