Title: MKB.cc hosting renewal
Post by: ianjpage on January 08, 2009, 02:27:37 pm

Yup its now been 2 years since we took out the hosting package and its up for renewal on the 7th Feb.

If we renew before hand we get a 20% discount so would ideally like to get renewed ASAP...

The cost for 2 years renewal WITH discount is 90 quid - currently there is not enough in the pot for the renewal so please can i ask anyone who feels willing & able to donate via the PayPal donate button at the top of the screen.

Thanks

Thanks to all who've chipped in !

(http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/worship.gif)

You're dedication, support and hard-earned cash in these difficult times is very much appreciated to say the least.

(http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/mkb.gif)

The """Management""" have had several brief discussions of how to further improve the "MKB Experience" and hopefully some of the more minor changes will start filtering through soon.

As always your input is welcomed - The MKB was built upon independent thinking and will continue in this manner.

We hope to serve ALL like-minded enthusiasts the best we can so all ideas and suggests are always considered.

I'll shortly be posting a thread (within the next day or so) asking for ideas from you lot on how we can improve specific areas of the Website and forum.  
And, I dare say, banter regarding the up-coming show season will also begin soon.

MKB is here for you !

MKB is free - there's no membership, no axes to grind, no presidents, no pen-pushers, NO FEES !

What do we offer ?

Basically, on paper - NOTHING !!! (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/shame.gif)

But anyone who spends anytime here will of course know that's not the case . . . MKB are here for you, anytime, in anyway we can.

MKB is not a club.  It's not a forum.  It's not a group.  It's a state of being ! (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/rofls.gif)

Right update on this....

The MKB hosting (for the website and forum) has now been renewed.

I have renewed the hosting for 4 years rather than the original 2 years as previously discussed.

The reason for this is that Ray Comer (big mouse), has offered, and we have accepted, some corporate sponsorship (and discounts) from which meant we had more funds available.
(see the other topic for the discount info - also a sponsored by logo will shortly appear on the forum)

I would just like to say a huge thanks to Ray for his sponsorship, and also a huge thanks to all of you that made donation's to the fund - so thank you everyone as without the donations & sponsorship MKB wouldn't be here (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/mkb.gif)
