Damn, i'm so happy planetZ is back, it is when it's not there no more you realise you miss it that much...

I hope all is well for you john on your side, i was scared for a moment there... All this info we have here, all this hyper cool community present here on the Z...

Anyway, just to say, i'm very happy planetZ is back

Hear Hear!

It went slower and slower till slow was nothing. I think it is realy a pitty, that John spend the ekstra money on a supposedly better host, and then he has had so much trouble with it

It's still very slow ?

Kim.

Well, it's certainly not fast.. :/

When I wrote my previos message, it was faster than now. Right now it varies quite a bit.

yep very variable here too... :/

peace

quite slow here ...

s-l-o-w-w-w-w-l-y, m-o-s-t-l-y

believe me, they're driving me absolutely crazy.

the website went down for 2 days without notice or warning. their phones are off the hook and emails to the featureprice.com support addresses all bounce.

the planetz website came back up, but i am still completely disconnected from email--- all emails to planetz.com are bouncing since last thursday. attempting to connect to my usual pop mail server gives "connection refused".

i've still been unable to reach them. i finally found that they have suddenly revised their support system - again without warning (see here: http://www.featureprice.com/support.php ) - so I entered in a new support "ticket" complaining about my email failures, and am awaiting some update...

this may be a fine opportunity to ask --- would anyone with a good server connection like to sponsor planetz on their webhost??? the site uses quite a bit of diskspace (about 2gb now), and a fair amount of bandwidth when people are downloading mp3s, etc... nicolas choukroun has volunteered to host the site from his server before, but i was a bit concerned when he told me he ran it from his house, over a dsl line.... but maybe that would be better than this??? featureprice's throughput-throttling mechanism is absolutely disastrous- as all of you have noticed. perhaps a slow dsl line with no throttling wouldn't be so bad, in comparison.

in the interim, please email me at johnzzz@pacBLOCKSPAMBOTbell.net (and remove the BLOCKSPAMBOT there)

these guys are real good and reasonable.if several of us ante about $30,(i'll volunteer my part)we could put you with a good,fast host for about a year.........

And all this time I thought it was because of John's lack of sleep....

If that is, what it takes, I too will pay 30$ a year for keeping this forum up with a good - and to John less stessfull - host.

Are you talking about 2 years of reliable hosting with 3GB space, good connections and allowed file-sharing (the devices and mp3s) for only 100-150$?

Isn't that close to being too good to be true (like the current host)?

i wouldn't mind contributing...
it's nice to come home from work, have a coffee and see what's up. wouldn't want to miss it.
on the other hand... now it takes longer to go through all the new posts more fun.

ya=eah well i can't be responsible for math at this time in the morning... my bad! go with the first number...

Unless I go thru and delete a bunch of user files (which is a possibility), the 800mb storage limit is just not enough. And that's $23 per month, not per year!

Oh no John - please do not delete
I think Garyb meant 30$ perr person - talking about us heavy users, who have a life in here Wasn't it so Garyb?
