[BUG] Attachments are gone

[Magnus]

Modcraft and the wiki of http://www.pxr.dk holds knowledge of about 10 years modding experience which is nearly impossible to get elsewhere.

In respect to that we should really think about some serious hosting management.

So what we need is:
A hoster (no problem, I even can host it on our own servers)
Mediawiki Software (Opensouce, easy to install)
phpBB (Opensouce, easy to install)
May some additional tools
May a proper domainname ;-)

That's all.

The only work is to migrate the maybe corrupt forum content.

Once it's done, there will be not a big administration work anymore.

Well, that seems to be a good idea but here is another question. Is your hosting reliable? How long can you host the board?

[Amaroth]

I pay for my webhosting (where all players download up to 1GB of patches) + domain 7,3 euro per year. Both disk space and networking are limited only by words "Just don't overuse it too much.".

[Skarn]

The price is not a problem I think because there are quite some people who may be ready to donate to keep the community working properly.

The main issue is that you guys want to go from "hosted by someone we don't know" to "hosted by someone we don't know", which is also why I don't even comment on "I could host it for you".

[Skarn]

Yes, you are right. That is exactly what I meant in one of my previous messages.

Which is why I suggest a donation funded one or redoing the OwnedCore sections. A community funded one would not be difficult, webhosting is not that expensive. If nobody donates then we just make the forum db without account info public.

edit: It would still leave a few people managing it I guess, as the danger.

The hardest thing will probably be getting people to switch (back) to another website.

If the website is changed to another host (domain) on this domain there could be a message saying that the forum was moved to following domain x or something like this. This could be for some weeks so nearly everyone knows about the new forum.
