The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Deadline end of year
wardenferry419:
I think that the time between the closing of this forum and the arrival of the next book would be the optimal time for working out kinks in the transition. There will be a small but seasoned number of members with several months of system testing time to manage the influx of new and renewed activity.
Plus, I agree with the dislike of the Reddit system of karma points. While some of the Facebook groups and the Discord chatroom that I have joined are friendly and talkative; I sense that many are only recently asking plot questions that have been discussed in great detail here.
I could be mistaken; but it is how I feel.

I'm looking for servers to host a website... So far the cheapest (reliable server) I can find is around $200 a month. Will keep looking

No. I'm saying we have a forum soon, I'll pay for it out of pocket and set up one method of donating or another to reimburse along the way, and we'll focus on getting the new site with new features up by the next book, at which time we'll ask folks for a modest donation.
I like the idea of transparency in the fundraising. Maybe Patreon will be better. But we have time to research that.

Dude, no. No no. We just need a Linux box for web hosting and DB storage. Check out this page, which is TMDHosting's page specifically for hosting a SMF site like we have now.
https://www.tmdhosting.com/smf-hosting.html
Just hold off on buying anything. We need to strategize. If Iago isn't open to migrating, we'll skip SMF (since there's no real benefit at that point) and we'll just develop DolphinPro or Oxwall.
Look at these two samples. Note the tabs.
DolphinPro
Oxwall
Both of these are free, so all we'd be paying for is the hosting fee, which is the same as the SMF option. It'll just take time to develop these.

I've specifically linked people to threads in the reference section that covered some of those questions, others I 'wowed' with what I consider an old hat.
...Hate Reddit for theory.

Both look nice and seem to offer alot of room for expansion.
