ok, by sometime next week everything should be on indie-rpg.net. SO i'll post about it then.

ALl of you with indierpg.net emails and who want indie-rpg.net emails, pm me with your username and password you desire, and I'll set it up.

Also, if you want webspace, PM with screenies and details on the RPG and what you plan on using the space for.

I'm posting this as a reply, because I think this is pertinent enough information for everyone to read.

The move ot hte new host and domain is almost finished. All I have left to do is add in CGI and MySQL, and then move over the MySQL tables. After that I begin work on the new RPGDX.

the non-MySQL stuff is up at indie-rpg.net. so, xmark, darkdread, locrian and Bjorn you MUST creat a redirection page to http://www.indie-rpg.net/<site name> on the index page of your site. Because, after this month is over, indierpg.net will be no more.

Also, this new host is VERY reliable and VERY stable, and has killer features I will be taking advantage of, as well as more space. The more space is a good thing, since i can then host mroe RPG sites. If you want web space (free space mind you) then PM me info.

I should have the SQL stuff up by tomorrow. DarkDread, Xmark, and others with indierpg.net email addresses, PLEASE email me your desired user name and password so I can set up an email account on the new site.

trust me when i say the new email system rocks. BTW, since mandrake@indierpg.net is no more, anyone who wants to can reach me at mandrake@indie-rpg.net . if you have any ?'s, please post a reply or PM me.

does the host have in/outgoing pop for e-mail perchance? ...'cause you know how I refuse to use the cogeco mail servers and all.

Can you host me? I chewed through a gig of bandwidth in 2 weeks. :/ My current host can't keep me. (I don't know how I ate that much bandwidth, my site's layout is tiny)

Ooh... you guys have a Cobalt. :D Just like RM.net used to. Yours is probably nicer though. I'm betting that cost a pretty penny.

yes i can. i'll email you details once i have the SQL DB moved over and everything is looking stable.

The problem is, none of the updates to my site show up for some reason, so I won't be able to make a redirection page.

You can host me? Excellent. I've been considering giving up on my project for the past few weeks, it's way too intensive... developing it, working, taking classes, supporting my users, dealing with my screwed up family and just trying to have a decent childhood all at once is a bit stressful. :P Glad to find out I can get some hosting without inconveniencing someone.
