HAY GUYS

As was stated in Bobo's webspace, donations for the return of GFF amounted to US$1,120. This was raised to pay off the $1,350 debt for the old $400/month GFF server.

However, since we have not been able to recover anything from the old server, was the amount of the donations used to pay off the old host? Was it used for down- and pre-payment of the current ~$300/month server?

Requesting for clarification!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

bobo is using it for this year's trip to Cancun. Spring break is in 2 weeks, right bobo?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

BUMP!

Re-requesting for clarification please!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Pfft... Don't you know, now that GFF is back up, bobo has vanished again~

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I told you that it was for bobo's spring break vacation. You guys didn't learn the last time, did you?

He's incommunicado.

FELIPE NO

Did you genuinely think that you'd get a reply?

Wow impressive how he seems to actually care about his own boards... we pay for his vacation and he won't even reply. I believe bobo should look up the term 'resign' somewhere soon

You may not listen, but I'm not the one suckered out of $1100+.

Nah, just wanted more evidence that he's a shitty admin.

Where do we go from here, then?

Even though we have a cheaper server ($300/month), this is not going to stop the need for another $1200 donation drive four months from now...

I think it was Blah I remember saying that admins could easily put adsense code into the forum display. Maybe this could happen if Bobo doesn't show for long enough. Although there's maybe the problem of getting the money from the ads to Bobo's host. If GFF does go down again because of missed payments and the like, the admins are at least this time (hopefully) keeping regular backups. Also most people know about Serious Business Forums if GFF goes down.

How ya doing, buddy?

Last I recally, it wasn't a single person that donated the money.

And I didn't donate. So what now.

Wrong answer. I was expecting you to admit you're an idiot.

That's how these boards have always ran. bobo goes on a year-long vaction, we post.

Aside from the donations, there are numerous other things that need clarification.

1. Who is responsible for backups and how often will they be produced?

2. What happened to the 2005 backup that was supposed to be integrated as an archive?

3. When is ChocoJournal being reinstated? "Soon" isn't exactly precise.

4. What kind of access level do admins have now? What kind of things can be done Bobo's absence (= always)?

5. AdSense!?

It's just that I don't really feel very comfortable posting here as of late and even though I'm in no position to demand answers to these questions, I'd be very thankful if there was some sort of plan involved with managing GFF this time around.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Not really. Before mid-2002 or so he was around all the time and was actually a pretty good member.

nub.

1. Who is responsible for backups and how often will they be produced?

Bobo, once a year.

2. What happened to the 2005 backup that was supposed to be integrated as an archive?

Seperate forum, not integrated. Also, bobo is too drunk to actually put it up.

3. When is ChocoJournal being reinstated? "Soon" isn't exactly precise.

When bobo sobers up and gets back from his vacation. (Read: 3 Months)

4. What kind of access level do admins have now? What kind of things can be done Bobo's absence (= always)?

Supposedly they're getting FTP Access. Right now, probably nothing but a limited admin panel.

5. AdSense!?

We should give up hope on this. Chocosponser July is coming soon anyway.

I say one of you admins go ahead and get Adsense for GFF. Hold the money in trust for bobo, and produce it when the inevitable drive for more donations come :biggrin:
