I'm sure the few threads that have popped up recently with gi-normous pics might have something to do with it.

I haven't seen Adam post in a while and I think Jack is MIA (he made that post about being in Israel?)

I really don't have the time to switch the site's server right now. It seems to be hosting issues as usual. 56hr weeks in NJ suck.

This discussion always ends the same. There really isn't anything we can do about this issue unless we want to pony up cash for hosting. I doubt Nexpoint even knows this sight exists at this point. If someone still knows someone there or the account details, feel free to call them and bitch at the free service we are still receiving.
Secondly, who owns the domain name? We need to make sure that doesn't expire.

Its been offered before, several times.
No reason we cant take up an alumni collection and move the hosting.
- ViPER1313 - 02-25-2009
I will do it when I get the time then. In the meantime:
Domain Name:MMSPORTS.ORG
Created On:17-Mar-2003 14:53:23 UTC
Last Updated On:08-Apr-2008 19:09:35 UTC
Expiration Date:17-Mar-2009 14:53:23 UTC
Says it's owned by Nexpoint, but I don't know who has the account.
- .RJ - 02-25-2009
Expires next month? How do we renew?
Do we want donations sent to the MM paypal account?

I don't think hes taking the bait

Can anyone give a round number as to what the site will cost if/when we have to pay again?
So we paid for a year of hosting and then the provider just never made us pay the annual fee again? I'm out of the loop. In the meantime, I suggest we post more Supra shots for motivational purposes.

Uck, the Chargespeed one is such an abomination. There is a silver one in the MD/DC/VA area with that kit and its gross (if you ever run into it...please physically run into it.)
Anyways, I'm like Peter on this...I have no idea how the site was hosted back in the day and what our deal is/was.
Where is Nexpoint, and how did we get with them in the first place?
It appears we are on some sort of 6 year plan? Starting March '03, ending March '09?
If we ask to renew our free service, will they say "wtf lol" and cancel our service/make us pay?
Truth be told I always figured our comp-savvy alums would do the workings of the site, as I have really no idea how it worked/works. But if someone can give me a better idea of what the situation is, I'll see how we can move forward.
And FYI, if you ever want to summon me like a magic lamp, post this:

You post the "lamp", and I'll do the rubbing.

Isn't hosting cheap? Like 50$ a year?
- xvxax - 02-25-2009
Mine was on CCWs, but the link somehow broke. I know how you like CCWs, I edited my above post with a wingless anthracide with ccws for your viewing pleasure.
- .RJ - 02-25-2009
We can get by on the basic plan here:

$150 for 3 years - alumni?

Where does the money go for adsense? I'd think that should be enough to pay for hosting.
944 Cup's forums makes ~$11/month and it only gets ~800 PVs/day.
- xvxax - 02-26-2009
The last check was $111 and we received it last summer. Between karting, regular club costs (like buying pizza for special meetings), karting, and paying back students for the autocross introduction program, donations would be wonderful and graciously accepted. I will check the mailbox and see if we have received another check.
