I work for an ISP and can tell you that the level of bandwidth and servers required for Scoobynet is actually a considerable sum of money per month, and this cost goes up the more that people use sites as large and popular as Scoobynet

the smaller sites with smaller user base and much less traffic cost significantly less and have adverts too

for both Full member and Full member + ???

D.K.1

I actually feel very sorry for Webby today having to constantly explain and repeat

Markus

Dude, I play about 20h part-time poker a week - trust me, I know exactly what it feels to add that to your life for very little gain

if scoobynet is costing the mods time and money to run the site then open/give scoobynet back to the community.

I'm sure there will be loads of people willing give up their time so the community can use ALL of scoobynet for free

Sonic'

Hosting is not free Ray

If Scoobynet was given back to the community who would host it and who would pay for the hosting etc etc

Its not about people and time

Ray_li

no **** sherlock

Somebody on here will be able to host Sn without complaining like a little girl. dont know who but I'm sure they're out there

Sonic'

LOL

Ray I dont think anyone here would be willing to host Scoobynet for free in their own home on their own bandwidth? Or even in a small company

Then what would happen if they had a power cut, or a disk failure, or several thousand users complaining that it takes 20 minutes to load a page

Seriously how slow do you think it would be, and how long would they run it for?

I work for an ISP and we couldnt even host it for free (not even snuck in the back door) and we have more bandwidth than you could shake a stick at

The only people I see whinging are those who want things in life for free, and have used SN that much and its features so much they will be lost without it yet wont pay a measely fiver to show their support

ah,just tried to search and thought,what a load of tosh,what the **** is going on here, all archive stuff and in a google type layout,suppose money talks and google pay well !

agree,more mods etc would lessen the burden for the admin and no time would used from their lives !

other forums have 15 + mods etc

Ray_li

it will be like the good old scoobynet

Ray and "The Rig" are both talking like a couple of laughably illinformed idiots.

It always amazes me how those with the least knowledge and understanding are the ones with a) the biggest mouths, b) the tightest wallets, and c) the most opinionated tone.

Both of you. You are absolutely right, and we just misunderstood the whole thing.

thanks for your help.

Sonic'

Scoobynet has more than 15 mods too

But this has nothing to do with Moderators or how much time is spent managing and maintaining Scoobynet

The Rig

iTrader: (13)

Nah mate,we just type what everyome else doesnt have the ***** to say.

either way,you make the changes and will do no matter what,at the end of the day,its a forum,it wasnt here 15 yrs ago and cars still managed to get fixed,we just broke a few things before we fixed it thats all.

Ray_li

now if i called you that you would just ban me

you're a laughably illinformed idiot just for being yourself

The Rig

iTrader: (13)

well,tell em to pull their thumbs out !

Ray_li

true.

why do you need to hide offline?

Sonic'

I fail to see how any of these new changes have anything to do with how many Mods SN has, or indeed how they Moderate

Sonic'

Eh?

Im not hiding, Im posting, now I really am confused

What my online/offline status has to do with anything is totally beyond me

The Rig

iTrader: (13)

nor do i.

i was merely agreeing on a post made that if mods/webmaster find it time consuming,make more mods to lessen the time needed by each person,thats all

Ray_li

just wondering.

if you're still confused you may want to take time off and relax a little

Sonic'

Ill set my status to online if it helps you relax

ex-webby

ok ok..

this is pathetic.

I'm locking this now, and will set up a new thread, purely for ray and "the rig" to prove where I'm going wrong, and will post the link here.

ex-webby

Right

Ray li and "The Rig"

You have your very own thread to explain your concerns.
