As for the solutions, i don't think there's any.

There is a solution.

Upgrade the server and/or accept donations, yo.

^ i think they already made it clear that they won't accept donations.

It's pretty cool that we've never had to pay to post in this forum.

Beggars can't be choosers.

Jeez...

That's probably how 99.9% of forums are, but to be honest, it seems like we should switch servers if this one costs so much and works so badly, haha. Why would anyone have to pay to post on a forum? Wtf?

JackieRos · #**264** 18th July 2009, 08:54 PM

what is this though
isn't it like a donation?

noidea · #**265** 18th July 2009, 09:06 PM

^ yeah, but they only get a really, really small amount of money from that(and I wonder why that is done but direct donations not)

JackieRos · #**266** 18th July 2009, 09:07 PM

how does that work?

fantasma3c · #**267** 18th July 2009, 09:09 PM

So they are donations? and ^ well from items purchased I guess AHS gets a small percentage from YesAsia

JackieRos · #**268** 18th July 2009, 09:11 PM

oh wow thats cool

proserpine · #**269** 18th July 2009, 10:33 PM

wouldn't it be better to upgrade the server instead of giving a free cd to winners ?

i am sure that if you do that, all the members will be winners
it is very annoying and you just make members run away from your forum
sorry but i just don't understand your arguments for not opening the donations
if some people go "i donate money to the forum so let me and give me this and that" then who cares ? just make a chart to approve before doing anything and every thing will be ok, what is wrong actually, what is the real problem in doing this ???

some people are willing to donate so they can access, not to have control on the forum, why don't you let them ?

it has been 2 days that i try to reach ahs and fail!
2 days guys !!!

please do something and save ahs, we can't just stand it everytime ayu do or release something!

noidea · #**270** 18th July 2009, 10:35 PM

^ I already had that idea(upgrade instead of prices) but it seems nobody likes it

JackieRos · #**271** 19th July 2009, 01:05 AM

does anyone know what percentage they get from the links at the bottom?

emi♡ · #**272** 19th July 2009, 09:10 AM

I think it's 10% of each purchase...

I was sure it was...but now that sounds kinda high to me.

LOL with the price of things from YA then I'm sure they'd have easily enough monies to upgrade.

JackieRos · #**274** 19th July 2009, 04:13 PM

10% is not bad but it could be better

sorry im dumb when it comes to these kind of things but what is a server?
is it where it says on the bottom Powered by vBulletin®?

noidea · #**275** 19th July 2009, 05:08 PM

^ no, vBulletin is the forum software, the server is the computer on which the website is and which we access when we visit this forum

JackieRos · #**276** 19th July 2009, 05:45 PM

so is it zef's computer ?

im sorry

emi♡ · #**277** 20th July 2009, 12:05 PM

No, or not necessarily.

For example...okay this is like, just what I understand it to be, and I'm no expert so yeah...

okay take Divine Ayu. That site is www.ayumi.primenova.com

Okay, so it's some guy's Ayu site, but it's hosted by Primenova, who has their own server I guess, and provides it for divine ayu to use. And he has all of his stuff there, lyrics, pictures, downloads. All that stuff takes up bandwidth and space on his server, just like a hard drive.

So in our case, I believe we have a hoster, that gives us a server to host our website, and that server has certain amounts of bandwidth, space, etc.

At least, that's how most forums do it, or that I know of...if someone was running this from their home...I would imagine it would be very expensive lol

and yeah, vbulletin is just the software that provides us with the actual forum. And we do have to pay for that, every time we upload or want something like skins.

But the website domain, is given to us by a host. I don't think it's public knowledge exactly who hosts us though...I remember one time the server went down...and it was like "commonhouse" or something.

Here's a hoster that got first in some...hosting poll Fat Cow : Udderly Fantastic Web Hosting

I just like them because their name is Fat Cow. And...I just had deja vu...writing this post

JackieRos · #**278** 20th July 2009, 10:19 PM

oh so is like enneaba?

truehappiness · #**279** 29th July 2009, 07:34 PM

Can we please just get rid of this server error by upgrading? -shakes head-

IT HAUNTS ME.

**sugarbasil** · #**280** 30th July 2009, 12:20 AM

I forgive.
