Planet Z preparing to evacuate!

Oh no. Investigating all the troubles we've been having with the webhost, look what I just found:

http://www.featureprice-review.com

I do believe it's time we move as FAST as possible to another site, before we end up losing everything.

I'll contact Nicolas Choukroun to see if he's still willing to host, at least temporarily. Also will contact another friend too.

I do believe we are in danger of losing everything if I don't move quickly. I'm going to start consolidating all files so that they can be transferred. I'm going to disable all uploads, so we don't lose any new data.

Hope this isn't too painful! It's going to be a lot of work trying to get the site moved!

I send you this mail yesterday, but it did come back to me, anyway here it is...

Hi John,

I noticed that planetz is running quite unstable for some time. And yeah, you got that cute little baby of yours, which is taking your time... and thats the way its best used rigth now.

What I want to say to you, is that I am the leader of a govermental institution in Denmark, and have like infinite web space, and a 45 MBit line up and downsteam, available 24/7/365.

If you have any problems regarding webspace or anything, I can offer you totally free hosting of your site. Too, I am a very skilled ASP, PHP, CGI, PERL, HTML and Java programmer, so if you need any help maintaining the site, I am more than willing to help you.

Best Regards,

Noah Laux,
AGA Thalamus...

I hope you see this somehow.

Excellent, Thalamus! Thanks, I'll be contacting you by email in a minute!

The site needs PHP, mySQL, but otherwise is pretty typical. It sounds like your webhost is windows-based, so that may be an issue with the mySql (?) - I've always used unix-based servers.

I mailed you at the hotmail address you used when you registered with the forums - I'm not sure if it's current. If not, please email me at johnzzz@pacBLOCKSPAMBOTbell.net (and remove the BLOCKSPAMBOT there)

Thanks again
-John

Thanks Thalamus,
I've found a local friend who's willing to host the forums. I've worked with him before and he's a good guy, so I'll pursue this for now.

I may take you up on your offer in the future!

Thanks again
-John

You did well to get out of featureprice

Ha! That's a pretty amusing site...
Yeah, it's quite a relief to be out of there.
